there were all these old people going to see Sting and then I realized...I AM OLD!!!

Reality has a particularly unkind way of sneaking up upon us and smacking us up side the head sometimes. I remember that when I get out of bed and take that first, creaky, achey step each morning.

I'm old enough that I'd like to change the subject!

I was listening to a Dem today talking about the judges and filibusters issue. It has infuriated me the way the media ignored this story during the 4 years the Dems went against tradition, filibustering so many nominees. Today it occurred to me just how twisted this whole thing is.

The media has let the Dems claim that "Republicans did it too!", then they refer to how the R's wouldn't let Clinton's nominees get out of the Judiciary Committee for a floor vote. They're equating their own use of the filibuster to the R's committee tactic.

Then it hit me. Their convoluted argument IGNORES the fact that Clinton had a Senate controlled by Republicans. Bush not only has his own party in control, he increased his majorities in both houses. If you think about it, the essence of the Dems' argument is that the Congress has to treat the president's nominees the same...regardless of whether he's of their same party or not. A ridiculous assertion. And the media shouldn't let them get away with it.

Here comes the electro-rapping mommies! According to the NY Times Sunday Style section, 'they rap songs about plastic surgery, breast feeding, and society galas at the Whitney and the Museum of Modern Art.'

The Italian design house Fendi helped pay for their record...
