07/21/2004: "Dog Days of Summer"

My web server was unavailable all day yesterday and during my usual time to make my nocturnal posts yesterday morning, so I was forced to balance the checkbook and pay bills. (Major depressive activity in the middle of the night to be avoided at all cost in the future.)

I have had emails, making sure that I am okay after my bout with West Nile. If I don’t post, people are concerned. So I just want to let you know that I am okay, I’m just bored and listless with the temperature and humidity increase.

My sister and nephew were in town last week and we had a lot of fun. The house seems so empty and quiet this week. Deb and I pulled one of our stay up and yak all night nights that are so precious between sisters and I am still recuperating from that. I’m whimping out though because she had to fly back home the next day, while I spent the day on the couch and in the pool. Sorry, sis!

Perhaps the Democratic Convention will provide some fodder next week, but there is not much to inspire any writing so far this week.

The National Security Advisor to President Clinton is under investigation for removing classified documents from a secure reading room at the National Archives. Yawn. After so many investigations of the Clinton Administration, the headline should be when one of them isn’t being investigated not when they are.

Iran still hates us after all these years and the psychotic mullahs keep escalating their talk of nuclear proliferation under the guise of energy development. After taking Americans hostages for 444 days twenty years ago, did anyone think that this cesspool had cleared up? It’s been a festering boil all this time. The UN will prove ineffective and the US will work towards a toppling of the mullahs from the inside. Hopefully, the Israelis will blow up their reactor sites and end the problem as effectively as they did in Iraq.

Stupid Celebrity Watch
This week’s award goes to has-been Linda Ronstadt. Earlier in the week she had a concert where she dedicated “Desperado” to Michael Moore and was met with a rousing chorus of boos from the audience. Unable to learn from that incident she rolls into Las Vegas and performs at the Aladdin and pulls the same stunt with a few political statements against the current administration while calling America Hater Michael Moore, a great patriot. All hell broke loose. People left the show demanding their money back and the Aladdin pack up Linda’s belonging and checked her out of the hotel.

Okay Zonies, it is a short trip to Vegas and the Aladdin could use some support for their actions. How about a weekend run to Vegas and a short stay at the Aladdin if you can swing it. Message to celebrities, we don’t value you for your political views just “Shut up and Sing.” Thanks to Laura Ingram for the great sound bite.

Will post as the spirit moves me this week….the dog days of summer are just so uninspiring. Sigh.
