My Wondering Cap ~

For the past few months, I've found myself wearing my "wondering" cap.......no, not literally. But I seem to be thinking and wondering about a variety of things. For instance.......
Why is Hillary so hell-bent on continuing a campaign that died a few months ago and has no chance of being resurrected? Sure....it's her "right" to do so, but why would she blatantly (by her actions) tell this country, "it's all about ME. Certainly not about our Democratic party or you, the people."
And even worse.......why would she make a statement in reference to Robert Kennedy and an assassination? A statement that clearly transcribed to "Robert Kennedy was killed in June. I'm hanging in this race. Maybe Obama will disappear in June as well."
Why is there so much horror and tragedy in the world with earthquakes and tornadoes? Is it just nature or is there a deeper reason?
Why has the Kennedy family been hit with yet another sad event in their lives? Sure, all families have tragic events, but I have to say this family seems to have had more than their share. And having grown up with the Kennedy Compound a few hours drive from my home town, I came to love them, admire them and be inspired by them. And each tragedy that they endure.....I feel a profound sadness.
Why has our country suddenly reverted back to the "haves" and the "have-nots?" I guess I'm not so much asking the question, as I am putting out my anger about it. Because I know in my soul it's our current Administration that has caused all of it......a needless war that rages on, insane gas prices, rising costs of food and on and on. And as always, the ones who had precious little to begin with.....they're the ones that's feeling this the hardest. And I say.....it's just not right.
Why did Scott McClellan suddenly decide to release all the info that so many of us in this country knew to be true five years ago? Why all of a sudden did he feel the compelling need to write the book, What Happened? Ahhhh.....yoooohoo! Many of us have been asking "what happened" for 8 years now! Gee, ya think it could be a matter of now wanting to wash his hands clean?
Oh, and while I'm wondering......hey, my book is being released next spring. Hmm, you think I could get a segment on the Today Show, Keith Olbermann AND with my buddy, Tim Russett on Meet the Press? Those are all the venues that Scotty hit last week publicizing his book. Anybody know Scott's phone number? Maybe he'll share his marketing secret with me.
Okay......enough wondering for one day. All this wondering makes me weary, because there never seems to be any answers.

I am tired of being treated like a pawn in this administration's power game. For the first time in generations there is no middle class. There is no foreseeable way for me to make my children's lives better than mine has been, which I believe has been a large part of the American Dream. I- with a job, three college degrees, and a husband who is also employed- cannot afford to give them the travels and life experiences that are the foundation of a real education that my parents gave to me.
I can't. I have to kowtow to the gas pump. I have to feed my children. There is nothing to spare for luxury.
This is not the way it is supposed to be. I'm angry too.
But I can give them hope. I do have that to share. I can make sure they understand that this terrible time is lesson never to be repeated.
I hope we've all learned this lesson.
BTW- I'll be watching for you on Today and Keith and Tim... Just don't go to O'Reilly. I'll have to boycott that one. :D
I feel the Kennedy family thing too. Rose Kennedy's dad had a house in Hull (where I grew up) in the early part of the 1900's.
Yeah, wondering about it all can leave you with a headache.
I am sure money had a lot to do with it but maybe he really just wanted to know how bad the Bush gang was. Not like we didn't already know...
