Mouthing off:

Now I know other people read this and don't sign in. Either they don't know how to sign in (i.e. my husband!) or they don't care to sign in. Whatever!
First of all - I saw something on TV that absolutely cracked me up. There is an organization called American Jews for Sarah Palin. It just doesn't make sense. I know about Jews for Jesus, which makes sense as most Jews do not believe in Jesus, but for many years now many Jews do believe in Jesus so they have an organization. But Sarah Palin? Most Jews are Democrats, that's a fact, and out of the Jews that are not Dems, most of them would never give Sarah Palin the time of day, fact! So, where do these people hold their meetings? Probably in someones studio apt! I mean, there are not that many Jews anyhow! We are a minority! I just don't understand it. Also, what I don't understand is that Tom DeLay, who is a convicted felon, out on $10,000 bail while fighting the verdict, was on The Last Word yesterday. He was asked his opinion about Boehner not going to the Memorial in Tucson as he had a cocktail party for the RNC. He was also asked his opinion on Palin's awful speech the other nite. Who cares about his opinion? Not me, certainly!
Now back to business. We are a big gun country. I never realized that, never really thought of it. But the NRA gun lobby is so great that no one even bothers fighting it. The are - in this country - 90 guns for every 100 people!!!! Every year 30,000 people in the USA get killed by gunshot. 82 people die each day from gunshot. 200,000 people each year are wounded by gunshot. Plus, AZ is the biggest gun state.
There was a law in this country that it was illegal to sell the 30 round clip - that law expired in 2002, and with a Republican President, Republican Senate and Republican House it was never renewed. They are trying now to re-instate it. On the bullets spent in Tucson last Sat. they will be able to tell who was shot lst, 2nd, 3rd, and so on , and if the gun held a legal clip of 10 rounds, they will see who would not have been shot and/or killed. Maybe this little 9 yr old girl would not have been killed. Pres. Obama, in his wonderful speech (even Glen Beck thought it was a wonderful speech, how about that?) said not to point fingers. But I am. I am pointing my finger at that lousy Governor Jan Brewer who signs any bad gun law that they put in front of her. She is evil - you can look at her and see it! Wonder if anyone caught expressions of McCain's face during this Memorial. Didn't show much of him, mostly of Sen Kyl who was right behind Obama, but McCain had his usual bitter expression and I am sure he was thinking "That should be me up there".
Now, Palin's speech. She was "toned down" for that film. She had no earrings on, simple necklace, natural lipstick, hair flattened. Trying to look "presidential" - OMG!!!!!!!! Then, with the screeching voice, it began! Saying people were blaming her, etc. It was a terrible speech. She has 3 speech writers! Can you believe it? In her speech she used the term "blood libel" - I, myself, had never heard it before. It is a term that was applied to Jewish people in the l2th century, if a Chrisitan child went missing, they would accuse the Jews of killing that child and using his blood to make matzos or something for the Passover seder. She had that term in her speech! Got a lot of criticism for that speech even from her fellow Republican but probably not from the Tea Partiers.
Now, today is an election day! Today (I believe it is today) the Republicans vote on a new RNC Chairman, to either replace Michael Steele or retain him. There are about 8 or 10 (I'm not sure - could be more or less and who cares!) that are up for the job and one of the questions they asked this panel is - are y0u ready for this? How many guns do you own? Well, one man said none and they only showed one other person answering this question, a woman, don't know who she is, said, with a little laugh, "we put in a new gun safe for Christmas (?) and we must have about 16 now, rifles, guns, etc." Also, she said her son at West Point has an automatic. I feel like I was living under a rock! I really don't know about things like this. There was a woman interviewed who is a neighbor of this Jared Lee (the Tucson shooter) and she said she comes home from work around midnite and sometimes he would be on her driveway and when asked if she was afraid, she said no, she was "carrying". It was so matter of fact! No natural! Well, not be me it isn't! Anyhow, I am getting tired, mentally & physically. That is it for now. I really should read this over for errors but I never do, so if I misspell or mispunctuate, please forgive me.
