Red diaper doper babies

Hollywood is liberal. I know. I haven't said anything that you don't already know out there. What is up with this? I refuse to believe that all artists are somehow attracted to social programs out of the goodness of their hearts. I guess I just don't get it. I watched a bit of the Oscars last night. The only people who didn't laugh at Chris Rock's Bush jokes were the old fogeys like Mickey Rooney. Not that anything that Chris Rock said offended me. God forbid I be, OFFENDED. That is a truely leftist word. But I often wonder, why? Why is Sean Penn a nut? Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Richard Gere? Just to name a paltry few. Maybe it's because they are handled by agents and studios. Because most of the time people who don't strike out and work for themselves have no idea of the amount of money that government steals from us. That must be it. Anybody got any insight on this?

old friends

Does anyone out there have a really old friend? I don't mean like an eighty year old (unless of course you are eighty) or something like that. I mean like a friend that you have known most of your life. I have such a friend. In fact, I have a few. But there is a difference between a friend that you have known all your life and one you have liked all your life. One you continue to choose to be friends with. One whose path seems so similar to your own. Or if not, that you just GET one another.

Yesterday's Oprah

I love Oprah. I should start right there because I am sure people out there would like to be informed before they read any further. She is awesome. I don't know why I love her, I just do. I guess that makes somewhat of a cliche. Married, domestic goddess, two point five kids and a hub and I sit down with laundry two to three times a week to watch Oprah. We affectionately call her Okra around here because when the oldest was youngest she called her that. We love okra, too.

So yesterday she has on these women that have made a huge turnaround in their frumpy lives. These women were incredible looking. They must work out daily for hours. As if. If looking like them means I would have to work out (shiver) an hour and a half a day then no way, hosea. I mean, Oprah looks great.....but even I know she has a fleet of staff to do her whole self up every day. I guess I'm trying to say that although I'm a little plump, I'm not a frump. And I think I'm as happy as the women she featured.

So women of the world who don't enjoy or do the excessive exercise thing, UNITE!
