It's Been a While . . .
I haven't posted in years, it seems. Time flies, indeed.
But things have changed for me.
I plan to blog again soon on both art and politics.
Thank you for your patience.
Namaste,

Here's an Idea
Leave a comment at MyObama.com. Here's mine:
Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden,
You need to pursue President Bush and his administration for high crimes and misdemeanors. You need to announce your intention to do so.
If you don't, you have given us no reason to believe that you are anything other than a toy of the powers behind the throne who control your every move.
Unless and until, people who believe as I do will continue to "throw our votes away" on Ralph, Cynthia, Bob Barr, or Ron Paul because we have to sleep at night with a clear conscience.
What say you?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth F. Kaplan
Democrat and Patriot

Cutting Wasteful Spending Begins at Home
Yes, she looked beautiful. You and I would too wearing all that money!But, it's the hypocrisy, people.
Of course she can afford to wear $300,000 -- with INHERITED money. But the Republicans' credo of pulling oneself up by our bootstraps when some of us don't have any boots is the problem with their thinking and their actions.
Remember, Bush had the most expensive inauguration party ever when he kept saying we were "at war." And that was for his second term!
Behind the glitz, all I can see is waste, waste, waste. Money, lives, resources, words.
So sad.

Why Pro Forma Sessions?
Sometimes in the course of human events it becomes necessary to protect "We, the People" from the completely out of control, if not mentally ill President, who has seized too much power and making it time to take any means necessary to stop him, schoolyard tactics included.
Maybe blocking recess appointments wasn't "intended" to be used at every Senate break, but when you have a president who is, let's face it, nuts, it became a practical safeguard of our rapidly dying democracy.
EVERYONE: Please sign the petition that Representative Wexler has started to get hearings for the impeachment of Dick Cheney. You know once they start investigating, this whole evil regime will crumble faster than Nixon's did, and maybe we can wrest our country back from the brink of the abyss.

Love the Fetus, Hate the Child
Congress must override Bush's veto of kids' health care
Once again, President Bush and Scott Garrett have shown that they love children, but only before they are born. The President makes a big show of protecting the blastocyst, but real, live, sick children must fend for themselves.
These unfeeling, out-of-touch theocrats need to research what "working poor" means and how they and the privileged few should bless their lucky stars for having government-sponsored healthcare for themselves and their families, but for the rest of us 99.99%, money for sick children is simply beyond their conscience.
Billions for bombs and The Pentagon, and pennies for vaccines and health care. Shame on them. Who would Jesus insure?
