Rep Debates
In a YouTube video that Drudge has posted ... Senator John McCain of the immigration bill:
"This isn't the bill I would have written."
Well I'm confused then, Senator. Aren't you the man that wrote it? It is called McCain-Kennedy. You're a co-sponsor. Oi vey. These are your elected leaders people! These are the people who write our laws! And apparently, these laws "aren't what they would have written."
Other tidbits ... it was boring, according to most. And McCain got a big fat F from Lone Star.
Dean Barrett over at Hugh Hewitt thinks that Guiliani did well (he also thinks McCain did well). Point of interest, when Guiliani was talking about why he switched to pro-choice, lightning hit the building. It's true. Lightning hit the building.
Over at Huffington Post, Taylor Marsh says the Repulican Party is gone. She says if the Rep's were still around, McCain would be a front runner instead of being a social leper. Hmmm ... I don't really think so. She seems to be in the open border camp, which is great for her and all. She must live back East.
And oh my goodness ... there is someone blogging over at Huff Po that I agree with. Unequivically. Wow ... see ... we really aren't all that different after all! (except, I think I may not have a lot in common with Ms. Arrianna herself, or Ms. Taylor above)
I'm sure there is an issue somewhere, that me and Ms. Penelope don't agree on. But on this, we agree; there needs to be less talk about chosing kids or work or career over staying home (things that economics and situation dictate in most cases) and more emphasis on keeping marriages together.
The other point of note about the debates ... no one is watching these things. I'm not even watching these things (I don't have cable to watch them at the moment, but I still wouldn't even if I did.) So it's like the pre-season football games. Though honestly I think more people watch those. So really it's like pre-season baseball games. A few people watch to see how the new players perform, but those are the die hard fans. The rest of baseball's audience is going to tune in in September to see the race to the penant, when things get interesting.
You see, Baseball is a euphemism for real life! It applies to everything!
Point of note, Astros are 8 games behind Milwaukee (yawn) and several games below 500. The all star break is coming upon us ... we need to get above 500 to stay competitive for the fall.
Other point of note, even with Clemens pitching, the Yankees are 11.5 games back and under 500. I hope I get to hold up a sign in the play-offs that says "Hey Clemens! How's the view from the couch!" :)

So here's what we know for sure, today: Women who work have a higher chance of
having a divorce, and women who stay at home are very vulnerable in the case of
a divorce.Here's what we should do with this information: Start talking
about how to keep a marriage together. Making marriage last is a workplace issue
because work factors play such a very large role in the equation. Work needs to
help us to keep marriages together instead of hurt it. And advice about work
needs to focus on improving marriage rather than preparing for divorce.
