OMG, the media is stuck on

OMG, they are stuck on the fact

She (SOTOMAYOR) has to do the job as a LATINA, doh! IDIOTS, she has been a judge a long time. True, she is the Junior member and will be the note taker. BUT hellz bellz, she has been a woman for 55 years already as well as being hispanic. YOU DON'T do a job as a hispanic you do a job as a person.

HER JOB is not as a HISPANIC (though this is a historical footnote) but as supreme court justice who can be a deciding factor in:

OUR RIGHTS, WE the PEOPLE

GUN CONTROL

RIGHT TO ABORTION

EMINENT DOMAIN

and on and on!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Steps off the soapbox turns off the flipping news.................

Sotomayor to take oath, will you watch?

Personally, I will.

I am super thrilled not only is she only the third woman EVER to take this Oath but, the first hispanic. And this will be televised as she takes the oath twice.

Article here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/08/sotomayor/index.html

a small snippet from the article

"Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in Sotomayor twice at the Supreme Court. The first ceremony will be private. A second ceremony will be held in front of Sotomayor's friends and family as well as the media.

It will also mark the first time the oath-taking ceremony will be open to television cameras in the court's history.

Sotomayor, a 55-year-old federal appeals court judge, was confirmed Thursday in a 68-31 vote. Nine Republicans joined a unanimous Democratic caucus in supporting her nomination. The only senator who was not present for the vote was Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, because of illness, but he has supported Sotomayor in the past."

YES I will have my sons watch and they will not miss any school. Another thing did you know the First Bush appointed her as a district judge? Later Pres Clinton appointed her to the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Another point, twenty years after the confirmation of Clarence Thomas; We the People have an 'African-American' President. So hopefully, in my lifetime there will be a woman president.

BETTER YET, perhaps before I become worm food: socio-economic status, race, gender, political party, religious identity, sexual orientation will no longer be a sticking point for discussion about an individual's talent and abilities.

WELCOME ABOARD, HONORABLE SOTOMAYOR!

Movie Review: Aliens in the Attic

This was a sometimes cute movie and had quiet a few slow moments which translated in Zephyr bee bopping around in his seat.

Some of the camera work seems panned and staggered while actors remembered their lines. The aliens reminded me of GALAXY QUEST aliens. The love interested alien couple had a struggle with female and male roles.

I LOVED THE HOUSE but was left wondering how much it would cost to clean it. (I told you, it was not a movie for adults. LOL)

Some parts of this movie were hiliarious. Others not so much. The ending where brother and sister were getting revenge on the boyfriend was funny.

This is not a small child or adult movie but perhaps a teenager movie. YOU KNOW because 'all drains lead to the ocean' and all ADULTS are idiots.

Two chicken pecks out of five. ^^

Dinner: OASIS in Beeville, Tx Review

It was the first time we decided to take the boys out to a dinner and a movie.

USUALLY we do the matinee and lunch because we have evening animal chores.

So, we decided to try OASIS since the Beeville paper announced their opening a while back. We noticed an empty parking lot at 5 pm but, went in any way. First thing, a small child sitting at a table told us to pick our table and be seated. Second thing, the place was empty and the inside was hot as Hades so, we picked a spot in front of a wall unit a/c (which did not help). The waitress did give us menus (10 pages of: italian, mexican, american, fried seafood and children's choices) and took our drink orders while we decided our dinner choices.

DID I SAY IT WAS HAWT in there?

She brought out the Iced Teas, and took our orders. Fifteen minutes went by, no new customers, no chips & salsa on the table. Our ice was swiftly melting. But, we wanted to try the Spaghetti dinner (Saenz), Bistec Plate (Hubby), and Green Enchilada Plate (Me) with a plate to give Zephyr dibs from our collective plates. I made a comment to my husband about the lack of Chips & Salsa. I guess the owner over heard me because he walked over and asked.

(NOTE: IN a cinderblock building with concrete floors, empty restuarant - the sound of a female voice carries.)

Dinner came out: Saenz attacked the spaghetti, so it was a hit because Zephyr was asking for it. Bistec plate, hubby was not happy with because the topping was salsa when it should have been another sauce. Green Enchilada plate: refried beans -- thick and dry with no flavor, rice was good, and the enchildas were tasty with the green salsa having just the right amount of bite. What I liked most about the enchiladas was the cook added a farmer's cheese on the top.

Will we go back?

Probably not. We had to ask for tea refills and check, no one bothered to find out if we liked the meal, and employees were too busy attending their own dinner needs. Parking lot was impossibly small. Only one other group of three came in to eat while we were there and by time we had drove back by at 8 PM, the parking lot was still dismally empty on a Friday night.

My FUEL for School Purchase: 13.96

Yesterday, I purchased for the cash back / rebate program I spoke of earlier Kellogs/Dell/Keebler's FUEL FOR SCHOOL:

4 boxes of Pop Tarts (8 cnt), 2 Yogo RollUps, 3 Austin Crackers (36 pkts, 1 Big Box of Cheezits before coupons: $18.96

After deducting manufacturer's coupons. $13.96 (5 coupons for $1 off)

Sent in the rebate form filled out, with receipt, and proof of purchase.

Now begins the 8 week wait (UP TO) for $10 back from Kelloggs and $70 coupon code from DELL. This blog is my way of keeping both companies HONEST.

So, my investment in this experiment is only $13.96 plus .88 for stamps or

Total:

$14.84

600+ US Post Offices may close

US POST OFFICE is in financial doo doo as well.

All I can say is NO SHYTE.

Let's consider some reasons:

1. BITCHY HALF (__!__)'d EMPLOYEES, OH YES

Three Rivers has a young hispanic female, she wears her uniform so tight that camel toe errupts in the customers face. Plus the horrid attitude and talk down to folks she doesn't know causes folks like me to run to another town. (I HOPE THREE RIVERS PO closes, she is horrid, torrid, and plain nasty.

2. PLEASE KEEP THE GEORGE WEST PO

George West has the best customer service in this area. UNCLE RUSTY even my kids love you. And we are not related but they call him Uncle. I DONT KNOW WHY? LOL

3. IF YOU CAN'T USE TECHNOLOGY, GO FLIP BURGERS:

BEEVILLE, Has employees who have peeps that can only issue postage stamps. Nothing metered, what a waste of government employee flesh. MOVE OVER give someone else a job.

4. ACT AS IF YOUR JOB DEPENDS ON MOVING THE PRODUCT:

My theory is on the 6 days a week employees. ITS simple they (gov employees don't have to worry about quantity or quality) thus it takes them longer plus more days to milk the system.

5. FIRST CLASS MAIL HAS DROPPED:

Because if you can not get FIRST CLASS SERVICE with DELIVERY why pay for the product?

MY Concession to the US POST OFFICE. I am willing to give up all but 3 day delivery if you close down, Three Rivers Post Office then send Postal Heiffer to charm school with the caveat she MUST BE NICE and dress in properly fitted uniforms.
