November 30 - Hero: Julia Roberts

I saw a report on Fox News this morning where Julia Roberts chased down some paparazzi dude and gave him the business about taking pictures at a school. Awesome.

I have to say that I think part of the problem with our culture today is tabloid journalism. People getting paid tens of thousands of dollars for a picture of Britney's privates or some star's kid picking their nose is ridiculous. Worse than that, magazines buy them and then print them in magazines and our kids see it and think " Gee, you can do all this sad nasty crap and still be an uber-popular gazillionaire. Why would I aspire to be anything else?"

Once upon a time, celebrities were only shown doing socially acceptable stuff. Did they do all the bad crap? Heck yes, it just wasn't splashed all over the place for the youth of america to try and emulate. Remember when kids were actually told that doing drugs and getting pregnant out of wedlock were undesirable? Now, it's 'trendy'. Going to rehab is like going on a spa-vacation. Right? I'll just do some drugs and when I get hooked I'll go to Arizona and clean up - like Lindsay. Or if I get pregnant, I'll just raise the kid by myself and dress it in cute little clothes. It will become my favorite accessory... Right? Right?

I have a challenge (and this is for me, too, cause I am guilty of buying them occasionaly) - let's boycott ALL the trashy magazines. This means Star, In Touch, People, etc. Do it for 3 months. I guarantee that you won't die. And for crying out loud - don't let your daughters read them!

Take the money that you would have spent, and send it to a worthy cause like St Judes, or the Women/Children's shelter, or a food bank.

Peace, Love and GOD,
Tracy

November 29th - Zero: anyone at CNN

First day of my blog. I finally decided that if I continue to keep all my opinions bottled up I may develop a brain aneurisym.

I plan to use this to comment on social, political, and religious topics. Have fun reading it. I hope some of this will be useful information for you.... at the very least find some of it humorous. If you want to debate any of my points, please do so. I won't get personal, but I will crush you with the facts.... cause I'm never wrong.... just ask my husband.... hahaha.

So, for day one:

How stupid do you have to be to work at CNN?

I mean, any of my kids could have googled Gen. Kerr and found out in two seconds that he's a Clinton hack... They flew the man to the debate, for crying out loud, don't you think that would require just a teensy bit of personal info?

Then, if you went to the YouTube pages for the questioners, you would have found that two are campaign volunteers for John Edwards, one is a registered supporter of Hussien Obama, and one wasn't even old enough to VOTE...

Cracks me up, actually. Maybe a few more people out there will be woken up to the fact that CNN is a bunch of big fish-stinkin liberal hacks.

Speaking of Zero's - lets look at Gen Kerr himself. The man said that 'professional' men and women in uniform should be able to work alongside homosexual troops without a problem. Here's the problem, and it goes for women in combat as well, when our soldiers are at war, the last thing they need as a distraction is sex. We all know that sex is powerful, tempation is very powerful,and in these extreme and isolated situations your emotions can really be a liability.

It's just my opinion, but I have no problem with gays being in the military. What I have a problem with is ANY of our soldiers making their sex lives more important than the mission. Don't ask, don't tell, and it won't be an issue!
