Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!

I decided to start this blog because I needed an outlet for my frustrations with what I'm seeing in the news lately and didn't want to spew my opinions all over my friends' facebook news feeds.  I never was a news buff, I usually choose to watch crappy reality TV instead.  Lately though, Washington has been much more riveting.  And the more I watch, the more I want to look around to whoever is near me and say "Seriously?!  SERIOUSLY?!?"

I read these headlines and cannot believe how ridiculous our politicians are and how easily they get away with it.  I'm afraid of where the country is headed when I see people like Sarah Palin, someone who was a complete caricature of the right no less than two years ago, become the poster girl of the Republican "base".  The Tea Party, recently a small group of crazy super-conservatives, are now running the show. They're dragging the entire political spectrum so far to the right that the most staunch Republicans 30 years ago would look like Dennis Kucinich today.  When W starts looking like a moderate, I think it's time to stop, drop and roll back to reality.

Lastly, the disclaimer: If you're reading this, I assume it's by choice.  I'm not forcing my opinions on you, if you don't like what you read, then stop reading.  If you have an opinion on what I say, feel free to share as long as it's logical and constructive.  My intention is not to insult or offend anyone, although it's a risk I'm willing to take.  I think it's only fair considering how insulted and offended I am by most of what the Republican party stands for.

Cheers!
