Cindy Who?

Cindy McCain was on "The View", as one of the co-hosts this morning, and much as I hate to admit it, I was impressed. She seemed very comfortable and refrained from quoting from the Republican Playbook. Of course, Elizabeth Hasselbeck was there to do that, if need be. Elizabeth never misses a chance to intone sentences starting with the ominous words, "in a time of war", or, "since we are at war". Cindy acquitted herself very well, I thought.

However, just because she impressed me in this instance doesn't mean that I won't be discussing her at length in not so glowing terms when the General Election campaign heats up. Heheh.

While listening to the news on CNN this morning, I realized that, while we have all been hearing about the "surge" working, we have been thinking about the "war" . Silly us. It's the oil prices that are "surging", and consequently, food prices are "surging". My rent "surged", also. For the second time in two years.

I'll bet the Bush family coffers are "surging", too.

I just don't know what to say about the cult in Texas. It is being reported that the anonymous call from that "16-year-old" girl accusing them of child abuse, etc., may well have been a hoax. Nevertheless, the Texas authorities are saying that there has been abuse going on, according to Texas law. Did you get a load of the Stepford Wives who came forth to cry on cue for the cameras? Those women CAN'T enjoy wearing those painfully unfashionable dresses and tresses, can they? Finally, this morning, a couple of the men appeared and, guess what? Next to the women, they were right spiffy-looking. Hmmmmmm. Something rotten, there.

I hope the authorities can get to the bottom of it.

I'll sure be glad when tomorrow's Primary in Pennsylvania is over. Not that it will solve anything. It has just been such a long time since the last primary, and the candidates have been getting sillier and sillier. Wonder if any of those voters in the earliest primaries have been wishing they could change their votes.

Serves them right for insisting on holding their primaries so early, and lengthening the political season.

To be continued.
