Wow! Is it Monday already? If so, it is time once again for AWMD’s Monday Musings. There are plenty of news items to choose from after the weekend. There are so many possible issues to discuss, it is hard to choose just a few. I don’t know if anyone else will be interested in the ones that I have chosen, but if so I hope you enjoy it. If any of my “Musings” interest you, let me know what you think. Hell, even if they don’t interest you, let me know! I am interested in your opinion too….as long as you agree with me!
I wonder if Sarah Palin has any brains in her head. After all of these months where she has repeatedly railed against health care reform and even claimed that Canada’s health care system is horrible, she admitted that when she was younger, her family used to go across the border into Canada for Health Care! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/sarah-palin-sees-eye-to-eye-with-albertans-in-calgary-speech/article1492634/ I can’t even make this stuff up. She made this latest comment while presenting a speech in Alberta, Canada. ‘ “We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada,” she said. “And I think now, isn’t that ironic?” ‘ No, Sarah, it isn’t ironic, it is hypocritical. Can you spell that? By the way, it seems she had stated earlier that her mother took her brother to Juneau, Alaska for the needed health care for the incident she was discussing in this latest speech. Could Sarah be lying??
I was shocked earlier today when I saw a Raw Story article that quoted our old friend, Tom DeLay, as stating that anyone who is unemployed wants to be unemployed! http://rawstory.com/2010/03/delay-unemployment-benefits/ First of all, I was amazed that he was on TV at all. Secondly, I was surprised that DeLay wasn’t in jail. After all of that amazement and surprise, it is obvious that Mr. DeLay has not been collecting unemployment benefits recently. He needs to ask anyone who was laid off, whether they prefer to be getting less than half of their former salary in unemployment benefits? As someone who was out of work for over 6 months in 2008, Tom DeLay should be ashamed of spreading that lie.
A short time ago we discussed the interesting story about an anti-gay Republican state Representative from Bakersfield, California who was arrested for a DUI after frequenting at least one gay bar in Sacramento. Of course, he denied that he was gay. It seems now that the good Representative has come out of the closet! ‘ “I am gay. And so, those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long,” Ashburn told radio host Inga Barks on her show on the KERN station in Bakersfield” ‘ http://www.sfgate.com/cgibin/blogs/nov05election/detail?&entry_id=58665 Who would have guessed that a Republican legislator would be lying about being gay?! The sad part of this entire story is that if he had only come out of his closet and not done everything in his power to deny rights to Gays, noone would have cared. I think this guy has been taking truth lessons from Sarah Palin!
Finally, it looks like the Vatican is in the news again and not for good things. “A police investigation into corruption at the Vatican has taken a twist with the discovery of an organised network of male prostitution. So far a senior aide to the Pope and a Vatican chorister have been removed from their posts over allegations of involvement in the homosexual prostitution ring. The allegations were made public when Italian newspapers published transcripts of phone calls recorded by police. Police had been conducting an unrelated corruption investigation. Apparently the tapes record Angelo Balducci, a Gentleman of His Holiness, negotiating with Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 29-year-old Nigerian Vatican chorister, about men he wanted brought to him for sexual purposes.”
http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/vatican-rocked-another-sex-scandal The Vatican consistently takes stances against the gay community and these high Church officials are caught red-handed. Or should I say Red……no I won’t go there. You get the idea.
