Well, well, well....here it is almost at the end of 2007 and the obvious question is: are we better off this year than last? Will 2008 bring a kinder, gentler nation espousing forsaken values and brimming with less compassionate conservatives? Methinks I don't know, but at least there will be an election! Otherwise, here are my observations:
1. The US has become a Britney Spears codependent. God, this administration reminds me so much of her misguided antics.
2. Gomer Pyle is a better orator than GW. At least, he wouldn't need all speeches scripted, the audience preselected and news correspondents chosen beforehand as well. What does this spell......fear and indolence!!!!
3. I just don't understand....Bush and the Uber Gang presented lies to launch us into Iraq yet Congress prefers to remain oblivious to taking them to task. Thousands have died while Congress buys into the fantasy and espouses we just can't leave. Okay, but how did we get there and what the hell are you going to do about it? Similar to the Britney "I'm too sick to go to a deposition" while missing four dates and then complaining about the horrible sin the court is perpetrating on her children by threatening to take away custody. By the way, who has visitation rights to George W. and Dick C.?
4. Oh, America....you send our youngest off to fight the wars and then forsake their care when they return. Why aren't our returning wounded being taken care of? Why are Veterans relegated to the darkest bastion of society once their usefulness to fight the "war" has ended? Again, another morality crisis the Bush Administration has tried to gloss over. By the way, did I mention 120-150 Vets are committing suicide weekly and all the conversation is over why inadequate tracking exists? There is Frontier Land, Fantasy Land, Never Never Land, White House Land; I forget the other two, but now this government is is Spin Spun Land.
5. Iran was ready to initiate World War II, according to Yanked From Flight Status in the Guard George, but then we find out they had halted production in 2005!!! Hmmm, let me tell you about this bridge for sale in Lake Havasu... Now, this writer would never accuse George of fabricating, but there is a strange scent in the air coming from the bullpen and it isn't jasmine.
6. Baseball is rocked by yet another seismic anomaly....first it was the strike which destroyed the love affair for many of us....and now steroids. Its not entirely the players fault since owners want production to enhance public turnout at games. As the great barbiturate taker, Nancy Reagan, once said: "Just say no." (even though she couldn't). My Goodness, why were so many Yankees?; and tell me, did George provide any substance while he was affiliated with the Astros as a minority owner (other than being photographed picking his nose?). Its a travesty to all who once believed! Where is Judge Learned Hand when you need him??
7. Declaration of Conscience: I believe in my country, but have serious misgivings about our current state of government. The electoral campaign could be better served by simply herding all the candidates into a room, distributing Double Bubble Chewing Gum and then determine who blows the biggest bubble. So far, it has been an exercise in futility reminding me of adhering to the great Shakespeare paraphrased from Romeo and Juliet: "they speak and yet they say nothing." Unfortunately, people are dying while the vacuum is being expanded!!
8. Help me understand....Lindsay Lohan was on probation and then was pulled over for DUI and Cocaine possession....84 minutes in jail. Paris Hilton was on probation, suspended drivers license; and then was pulled over for driving without a license, et. al.-just a few days in jail. Kiefer Sutherland was picked up for DUI and given, I believe, 48 days. Hmmmmm....I'm beginning to see a pattern here....Britney, don't worry...you can be released to pick up your Starbuck's latte...no problem....Kiefer, back to jail. Just love justice, celebrity style....
9. Bill O'Reilly is such a trip....here's a guy talking about the war on Christmas, morality and all that after Fox was forced to ante up approximately $15 million to satisfy a sexual harassment suit against him by a former assistant producer. A typical story......silver spoon youth goes to parochial school, private university and then to England to avoid the draft (1968); returns when fear of induction is over; and now becomes the great victim of his own sexual verbages. Apparently, the young lady involved may have made tapes of his overtures and this frightened the His Holy Hypocrisy. Tsk, tsk, tsk....look to stars, dear Bill, instead of your own private folly.....Does he know Brittany?

10. Its the Christmas season....I believe in the old Christmas when it really meant something and millions looked forward to it yearly; not the commercialized Christmas which begins as soon as the first college football game is over. It is a special time of the year which has to be found again in one's heart and not from the machinations of mass advertising. Happy holidays to all and dear Brittany, even Santa Claus has a present for you.
