Priorities

I could care less about an upcoming royal wedding (don't know which prince
it is or his fiance's name)!

I have never watched Dancing with the Stars and am tired of headlines about Bristol Palin's success and/or the ballot stuffing campaign her mom allegedly started.

By the way, why is it headline news that the Palin's have a reality TV
show?

NPR had the story of someone named Eve Longoria getting divorced from same athlete as the second report on their hourly newscast. Who is Eve Longoria and why is she important?

I do care that the job market is still plodding along and would like to
here more about why this is so.

I am very concerned about fuel prices rising at a time when people need to hit the road to spend whatever shopping dollars they have available.

I am very troubled that Congress may spend the year in virtual deadlocks on
key issues.

The fact the U.S. (and most of the world) seems to operate under knee jerk procedures rather than having a master plan needs to be covered by the media.

Okay, now is your chance to tell me if I am right or just simply going nuts!

Totally Unrelated to Anything

Once in a while, I allow myself to digress from the main purpose of this blog and today is one of those times. So much is going on in the world that just makes me worry about where our priorities need to be. Consider these randoms event in recent weeks:

• A Rutgers University freshmen jumped off the George Washington bridge because he discovered his dormitory roommate and friends had broadcast a sexual encounter he had with another male on the internet.
• Lindsay Lohan has bounced in and out of jail and rehab units because she cannot or will not follow a judge's orders.
• The State of Delaware has the opportunity to place someone into the U.S. Congress who cannot name any Supreme Court decisions she is unhappy with.
• The Afghan leaders are trying to make peace with the Taliban warriors in their country.
• Michael Vick, convicted animal abuser and killer, is collecting a massive paycheck from the Philadelphia Eagles.
• For no good reason, Bristol Palin has turned into a TV star.
• Our country is so unbalanced that a movement from the late 1700's, known as the TEA Party, is rapidly gaining momentum.

In all honesty, I am just not sure what is going to happen next and suspect this is why companies are barely hiring, malls have empty storefronts, and many homes have "For Sale" signs in the front yard.
