Last Day To Vote On Our Profile Song
Pink Dear Mr. President is currently winning.
Here is your chance to have lunch with Hillary
Hillary is holding a contest. To be eligible for Lunch with Hillary all you have to do is contribute between now and midnight Friday, September 7.
From the HillaryClinton.com

"Let's do lunch. Let's talk, you and me -- about whatever you'd like. Our hopes. Our goals. Our work. The weather. Maybe even politics.

I think it would be fun to have you over for lunch, at my table, in my home in Washington. You and I both know that we need a serious change of direction in this country. So let's sit down for a meal and talk about exactly the best way to make that change a reality.

Of course, that change can't happen if we don't win. So I'm asking you today to demonstrate your commitment to real change by supporting my campaign with a contribution. We're going to choose one supporter to come to my house in DC, along with a guest, to share lunch and talk. And if you contribute between now and midnight Friday, September 7, it could be you."

Stupid quote of the day

Unlike Clinton, you won't find him in the lobby of the UN six years from now.

Who said that, you ask? Take one guess. Apparently, an interview with our esteemed president included that quote. He ran into President Clinton in the lobby of the UN a while back and that was his reaction. He's not going to waste his time on issues that matter, I guess. He needs to line his coffers a bit, make more money and chop some more wood. Whoo-whee doggies! All I can say is GOOD! That means he'll be out of the public eye for a while.

(I don't know who would pay him to speak though--especially with someone like President Clinton available!)

It's my chance

I have a crush on Bill Clinton. You know how most women have things for movies stars or soap actors? Well, I have a thing for politicians. As for Bill, I don't call him Mr. Clinton. I don't call him President Clinton. Around our house, I just call him "my Bill." I know it isn't good. I'm married, for goodness sake! I have two kids.

There's just something about him...

So, the other day, my husband tells me that Bill is coming to town for a fundraiser. Then in the next breath, he says, "But you're not going! Don't get any ideas." Oh no. It's my chance!

To be honest, I'd probably stumble over myself if I ever came face to face with him. I joke about my crush, but really and truly, meeting him would be an honor. I view him to be one of the best presidents of our time. I admire him greatly and just seeing him speak in person would be the highlight of my life. He turned our country around 14 years ago and I'm hoping his wife can do the same thing in '08.

I'll keep you updated on this one...

Go vote!

If you haven't already, go vote for Hillary's new Myspace song. I vote for Beautiful Day. We need a song to inspire us!

I know that I always think of The Clintons and The Gores celebrating when I hear "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow..."

Look for this video to cause more trouble for Rosie. She just posted it on her blog at Rosie.com.

I'm torn. I have to admit it is powerful. I have to admit it's thought-provoking. I have to admit it makes me uncomfortable to watch. Perhaps that is the point. I'm sure it's not supposed to be easy.

I also have to admit that it bothers me on some level that she could be construed as using her own children--young and innocent--to further her cause. It's the same argument used when little Vivi's picture was posted on her blog in her camoflage. So is Rosie using her kids? Or is she just expressing herself?

These are her children. You can tell she is a loving mom. She's full of compassion for kids. She's full of love for her children. Why would she use her kids? Perhaps to save other kids? To those who will yell she's using her children's faces to further her cause, you must think the video itself wasn't originally made to use as it has been used. It was just an innocent conversation between a mom and her 2 year old.

Whatever Rosie's message is, I think at the least she has accomplished getting attention focused on the war. Perhaps she's onto something. Posting controversial things like this will give attention to the cause. Maybe she isn't "using" her kids to further her cause, but rather "using" the media. The sleazy, tabloids are going to be all over that video and perhaps that is her goal. If so, that's pretty damned smart.

If anyone knew about this blog

I might lose some friends. Seriously! I was thinking about this earlier. Some of my friends are Republicans (eek)! Most of them know my views, but if they ever saw them written here, they might think differently of me. So if any of my right-winged pals are reading, please know I love you. I post things here rather than sharing them with you personally. That should make you grateful!
