I’ve been watching with quite a bit of concern the attempts to fix the financial mess our country is finding itself in.  I was not happy with the bail out bill package, but I felt that it needed to be passed to keep our economy from collapsing completely.  So I was very discouraged to hear that it had not passed.  This scares me; I’m concerned that people are going to be losing their jobs and their homes.  I hope that they come up with a workable solution to fix this mess!

Apparently there have been rumors going around that North Korea’s extremist leader, Kim Jong is ill, and may have suffered a serious stroke.  I’m not one to wish anyone harm, but considering how extremist he is and how he feels that the United States is “the enemy” I really can’t say that I’m sorry to hear that he may be suffering ill health.  I can only hope that if he IS ill and/or dies, that he is replaced by someone a little bit less extreme!

I can’t believe that John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate!  I have been hearing (and reading) about how UN-qualified she is to be the Vice President!  I know that John McCain is trying to get the voters that wanted Hillary Clinton, but he is NOT getting my vote!  I wanted Hillary Clinton, but SHE is qualified to be President.  It has a lot more to do with qualifications than it does with gender!  What kind of idiots does McCain think we are?  I’m totally insulted!

I was pleased to hear that Phil Gramm, John McCain’s advisor that was taped saying that the US has turned into a “Nation of whiners” has resigned from John McCain’s campaign.  As soon as I heard the news showing the tape of him saying that I thought “that’s something the Democrats are going to have a real field day with!”  I also thought that if John McCain is surrounding himself with advisors that think that way, and he is elected to the Presidency that we will be in a world of trouble!  So, I was very glad to hear that he resigned!

I am so glad about the news that I’ve been watching about the successful rescue operation of those Columbian hostages! That seems to be the big headlines for the week, and for good reason! I was amazed to learn that some of those people have been hostages for YEARS! I didn’t realize that hostages ever lived that long; I thought that hostages were killed off pretty quickly!
What a great covert mission that rescue was, I am so happy for the hostages that were freed, and for their families! Great causes for celebrations, for sure!
