My favorite part of the Today show this morn­ing was Vice Pres­i­dent Biden’s inter­view with Matt Lauer. I couldn’t help but won­der why do they let our Vice Pres­i­dent out with out a teleprompter? It seems every time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in it. I love how the beau­ti­ful Ann Curry had to later qual­ify his “con­fined spaces” state­ment as being what Pres­i­dent Obama was already saying.

Now I’ve kept my polit­i­cal two cents at bay for about a week because frankly although I absolutely adore pol­i­tics, polit­i­cal ban­ter and debate I really haven’t been in the mood to write about politics.

Hav­ing said that this past week has sup­plied me with a few hap­pen­ings about which I feel com­pelled to write about.

Allow me to begin with last Friday.

Last Fri­day I spent a great day with my boys. We were on our way to pick up my hus­band from work when I heard this inter­view on the Michael Sav­age Show. Michael Sav­age had this to say on his website:

Lord Christo­pher Mon­ck­ton, who served as sci­ence adviser to for­mer British Prime Min­is­ter Mar­garet Thatcher, was invited to appear with Al Gore at a House panel hear­ing Fri­day. But House Democ­rats, led by Rep. Henry Wax­man, can­celed the appear­ance. Shortly after the hear­ing, Mon­ck­ton gave his account to “The Sav­age Nation” and explained why Al Gore and other “alarmists” are wrong about “global warming.”

You can lis­ten to the full inter­view with Lord Mon­ck­ton here.

What I can’t under­stand is why wasn’t he allowed to speak. Lis­ten­ing to both sides of a story is what is sup­posed to hap­pen at a hear­ing is it not? I mean in what sort of nation is one not allowed to hear an edu­cated well informed opin­ion that per­haps goes against the main stream/government’s point of view? Would Al Gore have been humil­i­ated? Frankly I don’t care if this gen­tle­man has the sci­ence to back his state­ments up.

Cli­mate Depot reported that Mon­ck­ton has pub­licly chal­lenged Al Gore to a debate on global warm­ing. I’d like to see that! You can read Cli­mate Depot’s arti­cle here

And now on to the $300,000 pho­to­graph that could have been achieved using pho­to­shop for what like $900 if they did not already own the program.

What irks me about Air Force One fly­ing over NYC is that the cit­i­zens or at the very least Mayor Bloomberg was not informed. How stu­pid can you get? What were the peo­ple of New York City to think when they saw a play­ing fly­ing where it shouldn’t be fol­lowed by a mil­i­tary jet?
With stu­pid­ity on such a grand scale one has to won­der how any­thing gets accom­plished in D.C.

As for this flu of mul­ti­ple names Swine, H1N1, Mex­i­can Flu (Israel’s name for it, not mine), and what I like to call it the Piggy Flu.

So Vice Pres­i­dent Biden thinks we shouldn’t go into con­fined spaces, like sub­ways, or air planes, yet the pub­lic is only being told to wash their hands and cough into their arms. We’re also being advised to stay home if we feel sick yada, yada, yada. What I don’t get is why the need for 1.3 bil­lion dol­lars if this isn’t such a big prob­lem? Each year 35,000 peo­ple die from reg­u­lar flu in the United States how much money does that get? Per­haps it needs to get an inter­est­ing name. The swine flu is not yet con­sid­ered a pan­demic, and I’m not freaked out over this, not yet, or not 100% any­way. Prob­a­bly because there have yet to be any con­firmed cases in my state, but there are a few prob­a­ble ones in Mary­land last time I checked and well that’s not at all far away from me and my chil­dren who are thank­fully healthy and strong, I’d like to keep it that way.
