Uh Oh. Rebecca’s Talking Politics!

Thursday, June 23, 2011

I know I am wading into very dangerous territory…. can’t imagine why, since BOTH modern-styled Democrat and Republican parties are totally nutso! Usually, watching presidential speeches can put you to sleep faster than a speeding bullet. But Ronald Reagan was simply an amazing master of the spoken word.

Went to the Drudge Report today, and saw this. Aw, come on! Give me a break! The American flag at the bottom of the ocean?! “Summer canceled”?? I’m so sick of the media, really. And I don’t even watch television, so I don’t know how you TV-watchers can endure this junk day after day and [...]
