Who is they?

I think “they” is more elusive than the red-striped hiding Waldo. I mean, after 5 minutes of talking to my mom on the phone, I am pretty sure that I live in an Orwellian society with “theys” all around me. The press is having a field day pointing fingers to “they” and his brothers “them” …

Oh gee, where is Dick Clarke when you need him? Do we need to have a ball drop each Katrina Anniversary? Since everyone and their grandmother who thinks they are somebody special will be in town, maybe good ole’ Dick can make a party out of it – New Orleans style. I can see it …

Anniversary Shmanniversary

Like I’ve said before, if I had a dime for every time I hear the word “Katrina,” I’d be a mighty rich woman. Then again, if I played the Katrina drinking game – I’d be comatose! Beer dude where are you??? Maybe he will be hanging out with all the “look America I am a …

The title alone is a little overwhelming, even for me. I guess you can see where I am going with this. Gosh, I am not good at tackling serious subjects. I mean, I get them, have lived through them, surrounded myself with tons of friends, increasing the likelihood one would have a serious problem – …
