I hope this isn't too cranky, Maybe I should buy a coffee pot with a timer, but then where to set the time? Ah that would be the question!

Dec 8, '10 7:58 AM for everyone

I know I am old, been around for a long time. I have liked a lot of singers, performers etc. I but I will never understand why anyone has to make such a huge deal out of Michael Jackson and now this week John Lennon. Even if I had listened to their music (I do like yesterday and Let it be but i like the songs, the singers did not matter) I still could not work up heartfelt tributes to these people that made music. They did not change my world in any way. Well maybe the fact I used to say turn it down or turn it off. With so much negative sad happenings in this world, is this a way to forget the horrible stuff for a time? I guess personal tributes like playing their music would make sense to me. like I play Conway Twitty, Buddy Holly,or Patsy Cline. but I do not want the media to tell me they are dead every two minutes, I already know that there is more on the news to day about Lennon than the anniversary of Pearl Harbor yesterday..Or Kennedy on November 22.

While I am at it, I also do not care if Jolie has lips or if her daughter wants to be a boy. Also the fact that Elizabeth Edwards passed, a brave strong woman, but the fact they are saying it so often is not so much in honor of her but so they can drag out the fact that her husband was a jerk with a loose zipper. She deserved better than that.
Okay Oprah is in Australia, whoopee is going to stay there? It is nice for the audience that I be was hand picked to go with her, it is probably one of the best experiences in their lives.

And I will bite my tongue over this one, I like the fact that Our president sat down and worked out a compromise for the betterment of America's economic condition. What I do not like is that posturing he has to do to suck up to people in his own party. Are these people so fanatically socialist that they would fight the President ? I think what he and the GOP guys did was Democracy working.I hope he is smart enough to do as Clinton, move to the center and.try to end divisiveness in D.C..
Last but not least Kathy Griffin making fun of Bristol Palin's weight when we are trying to stop gilrs thinking their weight and looks are more important than their brains. Also specially from an over the hill anorexic witch like Griffin. of course obesity is a problem. but making fun of a young woman's weight is not funny nor is it helpful.
