Hello world!

Hello world!

I am THRILLED to have my own blog, and perhaps now, my friends and family will have some relief from my incessant need to analyze, critique, pick apart - OUT LOUD - the country's various political happenings and embarassments.

I'm a woman in my 30's, work in technology, have a passion for the arts, do some creative writing and theater, and think that the U.S. is experiencing an ideological takeover not unlike Iran's Islamic revolution of the 1980's...it scares me to death, the Bush administration's inimidation and stifling of the media, that is, to the extent that most mainstream news sources sound ridiculously insipid. Where's the courage to tell it like it is???

How many uncritical 'analyses' of the disastrous and bungled U.S. invasion of Iraq can we listen to? NPR I love you, you are my best friend, but stop presenting the few sane voices on the issue as the 'alternative' perspective, will you? And stop interrupting those callers that try to remove the mass muzzle that's been placed on reporters, commentators, independent thinkers.

Voila. Visit me often, fine readers, and enjoy.
