YadaYadaYada!

I feel like Goldie Hawn in "Death Becomes Her" - my head is snapping a 360. Not only that, but I am developing a tick and have begun a dialogue with the television. Soon eyeballs will avert as I ramble down the street searching for the mother ship while requesting "Beam Me Up, Scotty - there is no intelligent life down here".

Did you ingest any of the Health Care Summit? Stunning wasn't it? Another example of sharks skimming the shoreline, eyeing the bathers, considering what delicious little morsel to chomp. It was ridiculous, rather than creating real discussion, it was more a case of "I told you so" and "Because I said so". It didn't sit well with our children, and it certainly won't move the ball forward to gain a solution. While Nancy Pelosi stared straight ahead and John McCain delivered yet another campaign soundbit, those without insurance, those with pre-existing conditions, doctors with mountains of school loans and 100 patients a day, sit by the sidelines wondering how the issue is to be resolved.

Meanwhile, back at the funny farm, otherwise known as The House, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee pleads ignorance as his defense of misuse of funds and non-payment of taxes. Is criminally stupid who you want leading the most powerful committee in Congress? Do you really think that he could have simply forgotten about half a million dollars in income or had no idea who was hosting a trip? The Majority Speaker simply says, we will wait for the investigate committee's findings - Now there is a heavy decision maker.

I think this is a perfect example of why the Head Start Program should be mandatory. These people never learned how to play in the Sandbox. Meanwhile, the castles that our forefathers erected are being washed to sea.
