WELCOME TO KATJABBER

This is my space to jabber at length about things I love, things/persons who annoy me and general musings. I'm vocal about my political and religious views and will use this outlet to vent on a regular basis.

There will always be humor and an obvious deep and abiding love of my family. You'll see cynicism in my observations regarding current events, but praise will be given when due.

Comments about books and authors will be sprinkled throughout, and I'll rage about the state of education in America.

I see this blog as a replacement for psychotherapy. At the end of each post I'm expecting to feel better. How YOU feel will depend on your belief system. Please remember, I'm not trying to change your mind - I'm trying to clear mine.

Read if you wish.

Bad Day to be Right

It's been a bad day for Republicans. They awoke with a collective hangover from the Bachmans' Pray Away the Gay therapy practices expose' of yesterday. Over brunch, they heard that their Wisconsin party faithfuls were caught stuffing, not the ballot boxes, but the ballots themselves with fake democrats to help them survive the recall elections. By their afternoon Almond Joy break, when each of them should have been feeling like a nut, Rupert Murdock's murky practices were threatening to come ashore and cast a long shadow across Fox News. And my god, it's only Tuesday.
I'm not even close to being a saint, but neither am I a bible-carrying member of the "Christian Right" who has opened my eyes to a motherload of sins I've never even contemplated. I long ago accepted the fact that they were sexually repressed, lying sons of a mommy doggy, but holy moly, these are some industrial strength criminal minds.
Good thing Nixon isn't still alive. He'd be handing out medals of honor right and ...far right. Today's Republicans can say, "I am not a crook," with an even straighter face than Nixon.
If it wasn't my country, let's say it was a soap opera, reality TV or even science fiction, it would be fairly entertaining. But it is, so it isn't.
So I say let's make a deal with Mexico and any other country who sends us their tired, their poor, their huddled masses yearning to be living illegally in the USA: We'll keep your run-away citizens. You take the Republican Party. We'll meet up in five years to see what you'll offer to undo the deal.
