Not a terribly enticing title to get you, my faithful readers interested in today's offering, but I have a miserable cold and it's going to have to do. So much is happening in the world this week that I've decided to expand beyond my political ramblings to give you my opinion of other news items.
From the world of Entertainment - Lindsay Lohan restrained herself for a whole 5 days following her booking for an alcohol related incident in May and 11 days after leaving rehab. This poor child needs so much help. Wouldn't it be great if 21 year olds could go into foster care? Clearly this girl needs parents, and not the party companions she currently suffers with.
From Sports - Barry Bonds is close to breaking Hank Aaron's home run record, but will it mean the same thing? To many it won't. But isn't that thinking a little naive? Does anyone really believe that no one used performance enhancing drugs before? Gary Player even says that he believes performance enhancing drugs are being used in golf. Maybe the playing field should be evened out by giving steroids to all professional athletes.
Speaking of Naive, from Politics - Hillary Clinton calls Barak Obama naive for stating that he would meet with leaders of Iran, Cuba and North Korea. This type of diplomacy hearkens to her husband's days in the White House when Bill globe-trotted all over the place and people actually liked the US. I think the comment makes Clinton look, well, for lack of a better word, bitchy. Nancy Pelosi went to Syria in April. Following that meeting that was highly criticized by the White House, Condolleeza Rice went to Syria for the first high level talks in two years. I think it's time to get back to more open diplomacy? I support Obama's call for this openness. I think Clinton's comment is an early indicator that she is afraid of Obama. Watch out for more ugliness from her camp.
That's all for today, my faithful friends. Until tomorrow...
