DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS



People! If you have a group of like minded folks, you want to speak up for your cause; you need to be very careful about whom you choose to be your spokesperson.



I heard an interview last night on the Joy Behaur CNN show with a guy pleading the cause of the tea partiers. He was rude, crude and insulting. I don’t know exactly what he said because I had my finger on the ‘mute’ button in self defense. She was as gracious as she could be. (If you listen to Joy, you know that has its limitations.)

But when she finally shut him off, he was undaunted. I think that wasn’t his first rodeo. He seemed pretty insulated if she didn’t subscribe to his views. Her next guest said “Why didn’t you close him down sooner?” She waved it off at the time but I would like to have heard what she had to say over breakfast this morning.



If you are following the story of the missing (and now presumed dead) little girl from Satsuma, Florida, several of the family members have been interviewed. WOW.

I could swear I was watching a movie. The scripting was entertaining. It lightened the spirit of the sad story. I have followed that story for 15 months, continuing to hope that they solve the mystery and find her alive.



I am embarrassed to think that is a bit amusing. It took a lot out of me. I kept the perspective with a little effort, because it could have gone either way. My feelings for the tragedy itself were divided by knowing that someone in that group was responsible for the death, and then back to the look and language of the interviewee. It was a rollercoaster ride and I do the same thing each time I re-live another airing of the story and another brain trust that is telling us what they know.



I am acutely aware that this is shallow of me and I try hard to keep focused. Honestly

I still think the movie version will be entertaining in some weird way (while I deny every bit of this in my twisted mind.)
