It’s good everyone in Washington feels this “sense of urgency” to fix our economy! Oh, wait…..not everyone. Apparently only the Dems do! Honestly, most of the Repukelicans make me want to do just that, what with all their vitriolic rhetoric….spewing garbage, lies, distortions. I don’t think they want this “stimulus package” to succeed at all. That way, in 2010, they can holler “SEE….we told you so!”. It’s all about saving their shiny asses in 2010, not about doing the bipartisan thing or actually reaching out in any way to those they oppose. They truly do make me want to vomit! Well, most of them do anyway.

Ranting About Our Unsafe Water Supply
It’s getting harder and harder to find things you can trust! Now I hear the nation’s water supply is threatened too!? Peanuts and peanut butter, lettuce, tomatoes, pet food, toothpaste……….the list is getting ridiculously long. Oh yeah, wasn’t spinach in there somewhere too?
I wanna go back to the farm! Well water and tomatoes on the vines I planted and nurtured, eggs right out from under the cluckers. Things I trusted were safe to ingest. It freaks me out that I’m now so reliant on “the system” to provide my safety!
Today’s Rant: More Babies? When My Dog Had Octuplets, We Called It A Litter!
Talk about unlimited ranting material here!
Are you kidding me? She willfully decided to have all the remaining embyros implanted, ending up with octuplets? I don’t understand how she justifies her actions. It doesn’t seem fair to anyone, including herself. But she doesn’t get that.
Parenting even one child requires sacrifice, dedication, patience….so many things….but especially time. An investment of your time into the child’s life is what makes all the difference in the world. How can one woman divide herself enough ways to give each of 14 children the time and attention they deserve? She can’t. She simply can’t. Even before the new babies have left the hospital, she’s mentioned she feels bad for the 6 at home. What makes her think the demands on her time will be any less once the 8 new ones are home? Is she thinking at all? Doesn’t seem so to me.
So yes, I get angry that people can be so selfish and unthinking, but only until I remember that on a higher level, each of those new babies has chosen to come into the world with THIS mom, this situation, for whatever their soul lessons are. Although I think it was a stupid decision on her part, I also realize I’m in no position to judge and once again, get knocked back into recognizing it’s all a part of the plan, and then I chill out and send blessings to all of them.

Stimulus Package Rant: Just How Much Is A Trillion?
President Obama will be addressing the nation in a few hours regarding this “stimulus package” that will save the economy from sheer disaster. Well, I don’t know if it will or not, I’m not an economist or a mathematician, but……I did some math trying to wrap my brain around the dollars being committed to this effort and I want to share what I discovered in this rant.
I picked a figure I can relate to……..$2000, and a time frame I could understand….24 hours. Then I did the math! Astonishing. That’s a bucket-load of money, for sure. Just to put it in a little different perspective, so you can grasp the enormity of the amount, if you really could spend $2000 per minute, even for one day, you’d spend $2,880,000 in just the first 24 hours! Isn’t that mind-blowing?!
