News Show Junkie
Oh, alrighty! I admit it!! I have become a cable news show junkie and I cannot stop. I sit in front of the tube these days with my hand wrapped tightly around the remote, lest someone try to take it from me, rapidly switching from CNN to Fox (Yes, Fox! Can you believe it?) to MSNBC back to CNN over to MSNBC back to CNN then to MSNBC (with Chris Matthews) then just for the fun of it, on over to Fox again. It's dizzying. I move with such rapid, expert speed, it would make Superwoman blush. I have a hunger and a thirst for any news about almost anything current. What's going on with Barack? How's Hillary doing? What does Maureen Dowd think about it all? Then there's Mitt and McCain and let's not forget the son of the South, Edwards. What about Michelle Obama, what has she been up to? And Chelsea? Why won't she talk to the press? Oh, hell, I even love the weather reporting. I like to know what the weather is in Kansas, Alaska and Montana. I have family who live there. Makes me feel closer to them.
As I write this, I am beginning to suspect that there might be something lacking in my life that these cable news shows are providing. Intellectual stimulation? Perhaps. I spend a lot of time with a seven year old. Political points of view? Maybe. Hub man and I have been getting into some rather heated debates about Hillary and everybody else running for President. Sooooo........I've decided to sign up online to become a member of several campaign groups so that I can discuss each candidate with people I don't sleep with. I want to be informed. I want to hear other opinions. I want to express my opinions. I want to hear if anyone else is noticing what I'm noticing?

I will let you know how it goes! To all you spectacular women this week, Good S-ing!
