musings a go go

A humorous photo involving one of my favorite people.....

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Off of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?
When will I know why...

I am going to miss the flamboyant nn Richards, the former governor of Texas. She was so witty and sharp tongued, and LIBERAL, that I couldn't help but to like her. Dubya usurped her from her one term for the governorship of TX and then of course became you know....anyway, I feel a loss that she is gone.

OK, so I was confused about the FL governor candidates and didn't even vote in the primaries yesterday. First let me set up the story by letting you know that Jeb Bush isn't running for re-election...(I don't like the president, but I can't help like his brother--during a hurricane threat he is a master--he closes all school systems and lets them be shelters, and whatever cruise lines (he is under fire for government contracts only to Carnival) are available in the ports, he uses them like the federal gov't uses "Fema trailers". He opens up the turnpikes for free and FL and federal emergency services are there to save and rebuild ASAP--OK, you get the picture about the hurricanes...to the midterm election-- all the Republican candidates were against each other trying to prove how "conservative" they are, even going as far as trying to prove how "liberal" other candidates have been in the past. OK, I know I'm not Rebublican--these commercials made me mad talking about how some candidates would 'ban adoptions to where only married family couples' could adopt children. OK, I guess a swipe at gays, and also their 'sanctity of marriage and the prohibition of civil unions' plan got me fired up. Every time Jared and I drove past a corner with any of these supporters, we just drove by and flipped them off and/or used the thumb down. On to the democrats, I was just as confused with them. According to them, they are going to instate civil unions and more accepted abortions. Good Lord, that is NOT the difference between Republican and Democrats. I didn't vote in the primary, but I would have if I were Republican--Kathleen Harris, that botoxed beotch who was the Attorney General in FL when she made Gore lose, is running for Senate. She is Republican, and while she did win the primary, she did not get the Republican support of the state and federal leaders because of her past. This guarantees (in news and print) that the Democratic candidate will win for Senate. BTW, Davis is the Democrat and I'm voting for him for Governor.

I watched the CBS news last night hosted by Katie Couric and my verdict was it was pretty good. I think it will do well, especially the new "Freedom of Speech" segment--it is going to have controversial people run their mouths about things to get people stirred up just so people in America can understand that we have the freedom of speech, no matter how stupid or crazy the people are, ala Rush Limbaugh and people like that. So, since I am a news junkie, I'll keep you informed.

This is a fun geography quiz. See if you can place all the names of the states where the state is located in the allotted time. Of course I got them all right! LOL. I have always been adept at geography--I can picture where just about every country is BUT I have no sense of direction in the real world...Oh well. Anyway, this test says you must finish it to pass the fourth grade, but I don't think that third graders know this kind of stuff--they can barely speak English these days. Check this out and let me know how you did......
