It is Mind Boggling---More Random Thoughts

Today, my mind is boggled.

In watching the news this morning I developed a bunch of random thoughts.

First, Anna Nicole Smith's life was a mess. Very sad and very tragic. Predictions are that her 'case' will be in court for up to five years concerning paternity, inheritance, and maybe even where she is to be buried. There is a baby involved in this who may be in Kindergarten before this is sorted out. It ought to be a lesson to people that our choices in life don't only impact us, but they impact the lives of other people, most especially our children.

Which, of course, brings me to Brittany Spears who has two young children. Today the news was that she shaved her head and got a new tattoo. If Brittany wants to shave her head or change hair colors that's not my business. Her tattoos are not my business or anyone else's. Actually, there is virtually nothing about her life that is my business, but I'll write about it any way. Brittany Spears is young, very pretty, and very talented. She had the start of a great career. She got married and had children. Made some questionable decisions. Is in the process of getting a divorce. Went partying with Paris Hilton and without underwear and was photographed by the universe in the process. Brittany----look at what is happening to those who Anna Nicole Smith left behind because of HER choices. Please make better choices.

Finally, Congress is debating the war. The House voted a non-bonding resolution stating that the support the troops but not the President. Non-binding? That took courage. The Senate probably won't even have the debate. Soldiers are dying in Iraq and our political leaders are playing games. Sigh.
