Welcome back!

Have you seen how the media has been talking about those supposed ‘humanitarian’ blockade ships?

It sounds as if the media want us to feel sorry for those who knew ahead of time that they should not try to invade Israeli waters. There is a port set aside for any, ANY, aid that comes for the Gaza strip. This shows why the items being sent are being inspected.

Right now, I am not being political. I like giving my opinions, though. Politics have enough time on the TV these days. I think that other things need some promotional products of their own.

Some of the commercials that can be seen on TV can actually be entertaining. There is one where a good looking guy is sitting backwards on a horse. I cannot remember the product though, because I am usually too busy looking at the guy and wondering how he can keep a straight face while riding backwards. Good actor I guess.

I still miss the chihuahua who was talking and selling stuff. Cute is good, anoying is not good.

Everywhere that I look on the TV right now, there are political ads everywhere, everywhere….did I say EVERYWHERE?

This man says this, that man says that……noise, noise, NOISE!

I am an opinionated fat broad and even I don’t have as many opinions as the politicians do in all of their ads.

I know that they are trying to get elected, I just wish that they would tell the truth.

OOPS, if they did that they would not get elected….would they?

Am I the only one who feels that the political course of our country has been side tracked by the media frenzy that goes with elections?

Ok, I have been reading. I have been watching.

There are so many people that do not want Obama-care that it is unreal. The news talks about the protesters. The politicians ignore those speaking out. People from other countries are making comments. The BBC website has a lot of comments.

What I do not hear is a reasonable way to fix things. Politicians in control of our health created Medicare and Medicaid. Politicians are the ones who have helped this country into having a hard time financially, not just the investors, banks, and stock brokers alone. Why would we want them in charge of our collective health? Remember, they have their own health-care system. They would not suffer.

Have you ever noticed how people will give names to events or places?

Sometimes it can be amusing, sometimes it can be very irritating. The word ‘Watergate’ always made me think of a dam that had floodgates in it. The nick-name for the St. Louis arch - ‘Gateway to the west’ - made me think of a corral. Westgate believe it or not is not the same as the arch.

WW1 and WW2, who decided that those two wars should have numbers on them? I mean that there have been so many wars in this world that the number could in reality be much higher. Nick-name are something that we all deal with. In high school my nick-name was AWOL. (I was caught cutting class.) The media is one of the sources of those infamous name that are stuck on things.

What is with the names? I guess it makes it easier to remember than just putting dates on everything. Sort of like the war of 1812? or not.

Yes, Pres. Obama was on the TV tonight. I watched it.

I still have questions about health insurance when you do not have any money. That question was not answered for me and probably for others, too. I guess that I could always invest in short term health insurance NC. However, like I said, I do not have money.

Here in Central Texas, we have a hospital that has special programs for those without money. I know in Arkansas, they have no programs like that. How about in other states? I just hope that when all is said and done, the special programs to help those without money are not stopped.

Have you ever noticed that through the years (I am not telling how many), things change in society, and yet they do not really seem to change?

Slang is always the language of the age torn into pieces. What we speak now is slang from yesterday. Old fashioned at one time was modern at its own time. Fashion in the clothing industry has no idea what is truly new because it repeats styles. What the fashion world calls ‘it’ is many times not even connected to reality in what people will wear every day.

So, things change, and yet they still seem the same. The media is always trying to cause a panic over one thing or another, it just changes from week to week. One week money is supposed to cause a panic, the next it is housing, the next it is weather, the next it is one sickness or another.

Things change, and yet they don’t.

Yes, it is time for me to gripe about advertising again.

I have a few favorite shows that I like to watch. It get me that I am watching the show, get into the mood of the show, the next thing that I hear and see involves LOUD noise, nonsense, and irritation.

That is not the way to sell items, ideas, opinions, whatever. The television networks used to say that the commercials were not at a different volume level. How wrong they still are. When you have to turn down the volume suddenly during a show, and when the show comes back on, turn the volume up again.

The sudden change in volume really kills the mood of the show. I do not like advertisers who do that, and it makes me decide NOT, I repeat, NOT,to buy their product. Isn’t that self defeating in the purpose of the commercial?

I recently saw a commercial that had me saying that phrase above.

The woman was trying to get her husband to do something, or stop doing something. She had all of her face covered with pasty white something or another. Probably cold cream - YUK.

The way that I figure it, she should wash her face and then try to talk to her husband if she wants him to actually listen to her. I have no idea where the ad agencies get their ideas. Some are funny as all get out, others are nothing but irritating - at least to me they are. I am not happy when they treat the customers are if they are morons, or should be morons in order to buy their products. I cannot be alone with my opinions, can I?

Well, the truck that plowe3d into the hotel building is finally gone.

The crew having to do the work of the removal had to re-enforce the inside of the building and eventually cut the semi into pieces to remove it. I guess that is one truck that will not hit the highway anymore, at least until it is melted down and remade.

Still do not know the exact reason for the crash. The police have said that the driver either fell asleep, or was medically unconscious. How someone could be asleep and go through 2 ditches, a pond retaining wall and ramp, I do not know.

More later, if it is given to the public.
