Daily News

Where does one begin? Why not start with local news. How sad and crazy is it when a mother will smother and throw her baby's lifeless body in the trash? How can a woman put so little value on a life that she carried in her own body? It is truly sad to think that someone can think to do such a thing. What is even sadder is that fact that local media spent about one minute of coverage to this story compared to about three minutes discussing the war of words between two rich people: The Donald vs. Rosie. It's even more annoying that Barbara Walters added her two cents into the mix calling Trump "a pathetic man". All of them are pathetic. I bet this is nothing more than a ratings scam. You can't tell me that three wealthy people are really feuding in public over stupidity. Stop the madness! On a good note...we had snowflakes today in the city! It was brief but still snow! Can't wait for the blizzard to come in February.

On the National front...good old George W. will deliver his address to the country to let us know he's sending 20,000 more troops to Iraq. Yet another stupid act by our stupid president. What is it about men's egos that they can never truly admit they made a mistake? What is the point of having democracy if the Patriot Act allows the president to do whatever he pleases Meanwhile talk to raising the minimum wage to just over seven dollars is on the horizon. Who the hell can live off of that?!? Our country is so screwed up. We can spend billions on a war but can't even make sure our citizens have a decent life on our own soil. Don't even get me started with medical care or lack of it due to poverty and working poor conditions.

Finally, an interesting blurb caught my ear. Apparently Jason Kidd is divorcing his wife citing that she is abusive towards him and his children. I thought it was interesting because it is rare for a man, let alone a celebrity sports player, to admit or acknowledge this type of alleged abuse. Who knows if it is true or not but I thought it was interesting that he is putting that concept out to the public.

Oh well...it's really cold outside...just the way I like it. I won't make it to the museum today but will for sure tomorrow. Today I must part with a lot of money on the last leg of my degree. I feel so broke but at least for now I can still afford the rent so it's not all bad. I better log in to pay tuition now so that I don't have to pay the late fee. More later.
