LMAO
I just can't help but laugh as I listen to Bill O'Reilly trying to downplay the fact that the vice president of the United States SHOT someone. His argument, "How does that affect everyday Americans? It's no one's business." Seems to me that O'Reilly was preaching a whole different line when Bill Clinton peppered Monica Lewinsky's dress. How did THAT affect everyday Americans? I swear the double standards just crack me up.
If O'Reilly were looking for a better spin on behalf of Cheney, he would be stressing that it was an ACCIDENT. But that's the PR person in me - too many years of creating spin for politicians and their organizations! BUT he could gain Cheney a spike in his popularity poll by playing to the sympathy vote. When you look at voting, the sympathy vote is powerful just as the polls add value. The sympathy voters on elections I have watched have given the victory to either the injured or the widow(er) of accidents in which death or great injury happened. One statewide elected official I personally knew won possibly as a result of a plane crash he survived (in which his wife was killed). But he absolutely deserved to be Treasurer - was one of the most talented, interesting, funny people I've had the pleasure to know.
Speaking of politics, here's something I learned today. I was putting together the newsletter for Roy Waldron School and wrote an article on President's Day. Did you know that George Washington's deepest disappointment was the nation divided into two political parties?? Wow. I think President Washington was very wise to see the how the political split could cause havoc even in today's world.
My husband, the love of my life, sent me flowers to the office yesterday. He ordered them two weeks ago after I explained for 20 years how nice it is to get flowers at work. The year he sends them to work and I'm not there! Sheesh.
Not much else going on here. Except I think my 15-year-old has a boyfriend. He lives in Knoxville and is a junior in high school. I told her she could double date, but no date dates until she's 16. It makes me very nervous. This kid knows several of her friends here, so that's how they met. I guess I need to tell her we'll have to meet him before they even go out on a double date.
