Dear Obama Supporters

Please...does Roe V. Wade mean this much to you??

Stop hiding behind Roe V. Wade. George Bush didn't overturn it in his 8 years. It won't be overturned EVEN if we protect the rights of living breathing human beings.

Is voting for a rock star that important to you?

I've got to ask

If you watched the speeches given by Sarah Palin and John McCain these past two evenings, how could you possibly vote for Obama?

He has done NOTHING and has NO Plan.

I think the problem is some people vote on just ONE issue.

I'm black so I have to vote Obama
I'm gay so I have to vote Obama
I'm pro Choice so I have vote Obama
I'm anti-war so I have to vote Obama

People should not vote for someone based on one pet issue. Even I do not agree with John McCain on every issue. But overall, I know he's an honest man and not in this for fame or fortune. He and his wife have ALWAYS been proud of their country and will fight for us!!!

That's all I have to say for now. I'm just very inspired after the past two nights. I'm sure you were too and wanted to share some brief thoughts.

Parenting by BlueTooth

Today I was at the park with my 3 RESPONSIBLE friends and their children. However, as I walked around playing with my son, I noticed something very sad.

Many of the mothers were texting, talking on the phone or yapping into their bluetooth. Not to say we mothers can't multi task. We are experts at that. However, I also noticed that many of the children were being ignored all together. For example, one small boy was so thrilled when he conquered the monkey bars all on his own. When he went running over to mommy shouting "I did it Mommy, I did it all the way on the bars by myself". She was too busy running her soup cooler that she just nodded at him and smiled politely. Almost as if she didn't even know him! Like he was a business associate.

Another little girl beganto follow Evan and I over to our group and the mother who was flapping her big fat mouth on the phone didn't notice until I stopped to ask her "is she yours?" Thank goodness I wasn't the local child abductor. By the way the topic of this mother's particular conversation contained words like "protective order", "eviction notice", "loser"...I know this because I was playing and interacting with her two daughters on the playground while she flapped her gums behind me.

AND ANOTHER mother was nearly ripping her poor daughter's arm out of the socket while she was trying to dismount the swing while her "mother" was busy on her bluetooth. She was on it the ENTIRE time we were there. Which was about 1 1/2 hours. Well, at least every time Evan and I passed her.

These are just pathetic displays in my opinion. It is also dangerous. You can't just let your children wander and interact with strangers while you conduct your useless, mundane business. This is why children feel ignored and neglected by parents. This is also how they get abducted, molested or traumatized.

I really really REALLY wanted to just slap every one of them. One woman was sitting in a chair next to the pool...(outside the pool fence) texting while her little boy was taking a swim lesson. What if he does something really "neat" in his book and looks up and mommy is too busy texting to notice? What is so damn important to these women? And don't tell me work. That's complete BS. If you can't take 30 minutes with your child at the park without "work" then you need to re-prioritize sister.

This is just another example of how society is too damn busy to remember the important things in life. I realize I can't catch every one of Evan's little "look at me Mommy" smiles....but I sure do try, and I don't want to be texting when he does it.

When would 9% be good enough?

Would you keep your job if your clients/boss were happy with your performance only 9% of the time?

Before I dig into this let me first provide the facts. For the liberals out there, these might be new to you so just follow along and maybe you'll catch on!

Rasmussen Poll
Survey of 1,000 Likely Voters July 1, 2008 How would you rate the way Congress is doing its job?
Excellent 2% Good 7% Fair 36% Poor 52%

9% is unbelievable from a democratically led congress who's new leader on November 8, 2006 said "Democrats are prepared to govern and ready to lead.” – Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

How about the 100 broken promises? Not familiar with those? Check out this link to the HOUSE DEMOCRATS 100 BROKEN PROMISES. I recommend downloading the PDF as it has navigational tools that make perusing it very easy.

I remember the Election of 2006 very clearly. One reason, because Liberal Maryland voted, Robert Ehrlich out and voted in the complete disaster we have now, Martin O'Malley. O'Malley will require a post dedicated just to the colossal tax debacle he has created in my Great State of Maryland. I will say this; anyone that voted for him should ask themselves how they like the increase in state and sales tax. Fun isn't it? :) Good times.

Ok, as usual I digress. Another reason was the rose colored glasses that were distributed to all of America. When the congress became a democratic majority, they had some (not me) believing that food would taste better and skinned knees would tickle not sting. It was so staggering to watch Nancy Pelosi pontificate (definition: to speak in a pompous or dogmatic manner) about how this new congress was the answer to all the alleged problems that this nation was enduring. That somehow the democrats were going to fix everything. I very nearly became excited about this super fabulous new world the democrats were going to create for us...but just for a split second. And it passed.

Take a look at just 2 of the 100 broken promises and maybe you'll see why we have to vote them out in November.

Let's go to Promise #16.
DEMOCRATIC PROMISE #16: Lower Gasoline PricesPromise: “Democrats have a plan to lower gas prices…join Democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.” – Then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, April 19, 2006
Broken Promise: “The average price of gasoline hit $3.218 a gallon Monday, up a stunning 11.5 cents the past week and just half a penny shy of the inflation-adjusted record, the government reported. The average is almost certain this week to pass the inflation-adjusted high of $3.223, recorded in May 1981 by the Energy Information Administration.” – “Average Gasoline Price Nears 1981 Average,” USA Today, May 22, 2007.Democrats have been in power for six months, and gas prices have gone up, not down.

Current National Average is: $4.10

What is the plan? I haven't seen it and I want to see it!

DEMOCRATIC PROMISE #89: Institute a Five-Day Work Week
Promise: “‘Next year, members of the House will be expected in the Capitol for votes each week by 6:30p.m. Monday and will finish their business about 2pm Friday,’ Hoyer said.” – “Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work Five Days a Week,” Washington Post, December 6, 2006
Broken Promise: Of the 21 weeks in session through June 22, 2007, only six have included full five-day work weeks. – Office of the Clerk Web Site

Since I don't want this post to be like 10 pages, I'll let you go to the link yourself and read the other 98.

The whole thing is just completely pathetic. By the way a 9% approval rating is the lowest EVER since Rasmussen began polling.

Nowhere else would this be considered acceptable and it shouldn't be in congress either.

I want to know who you are!!

OK, this may seem minor but it is something that just baffles the hell out of me.

Why is it when you leave a store like Target, Kohls, Wal-Mart (any store with cart parking) you see a little gaggle of carts juuuuust outside of the massive cart parking section? What happened to these people? Here are a few theories I have come up with.

1. They just passed out from shopping exhaustion and couldn't push any further. Medics were brought in and they were carried out on a gurney. Thus having to leave their cart in the middle of the walkway.
2. While leaving the store they received an urgent phone call that did not allow them to take the 1.8 seconds it takes to properly store their cart and had to rush home to revive a family member. (doubtful, but I'm trying to figure this out)
3. They are lazy, oblivious, pathetic, inconsiderate A-holes that have no sense and have no right to be in public.

MMMM, I'm going with number 3.

If you are one of these people who do this and have a valid and reasonable reason for doing so please, comment and tell me what it is!

Am I the only one who has ever noticed this?

I promise to get a picture the next time this happens. Which will probably be this afternoon, since I have to go to Target and PetsMart.

Which leads me to my next question. Is it Pet Smart or Pets Mart? :)

My first post!!

Well, I decided to start a blog to put all the things I have to say that are NON-Evan related! There are a few.

OK, here is the warning. This is not a place I will be P.C. or hold back. On my other 2 sites I try to be considerate of others feelings and political leanings. HERE, I will not. So if you are someone who I could potentially upset, you might want to stick to Evan Heaven!

I will also have some other contributors. My husband of course and a few friends. This means you Karl!!
