Thoughts from a dreary day

Why was the news media so consumed over the "run away bride" story? Several more American military members were killed this weekend in Iraq and it should have at least made the news.

Nice job, Laura Bush. However, it doesn't change the facts: We are still involved in a costly war. People are losing their jobs in this country because of outsourcing. New jobs are not being created at the appropriate pace for our population. Our air is getting dirtier and our waters are more polluted. By the way, I have noticed that your daughters are not employed yet. Are they having trouble finding work?

The Social Security Reform traveling show needs to stop. Now we know how this administration will pay for their program: cut benefits by 30% for all but the poor. How will people live? I saw a great bumper sticker this weekend. It said- DON'T FOOL WITH SOCIAL SECURITY!
