This is Liberal babble babble babble & more babble...

...can someone interpret this for me? Yes, I am in Campaign mode...

SEAN PENN: "What happens is that people become pawns, become sheep of movements of comfort, those things that will keep them out of either complicated thought that they don’t aspire to, or out of a kind of tolerance that they don’t understand. To become a polarizing figure, you’re polarizing for those who are self-polarized, and I think that what we want to see and what I can’t do, what young people can do with each other is where the movements will always be because it’s in that that those things will be given greater breadth, and the lessons and the education will infuse itself into that. It’ll be a human education.

At the same time, we do know that the country has been swinging, you know, in terms of the polarization on the Right to incredible kind of fundamentalist situation where you have people like – we talked about Rick Santorum – where, where actually they are virtually contradicting all the Constitutional principles in their rhetoric. And so you say, “Well look, okay, you can believe that, but you cannot equate that with this Constitution. That’s not an interpretation issue. It means that you did not read the Constitution, and indeed you are anti-American.”

I am very pro-American in the sense of a Constitutional America, and I’m very pro-American in terms of a diverse America and one where we do reach out and understand that to be too mono-cultural is to limit ourselves and create the insecurity that we’re currently facing."

• ahemm...my people DID say that you guys would be providing a Bong & Booze Bar after this Interview...Right?

Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day...what are u & your Family doing to Honor this Day?

"Founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, Earth Day is now a globally celebrated holiday that is sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green awareness. The brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by the antiwar protests of the late 1960s, Earth Day was originally aimed at creating a mass environmental movement. It began as a "national teach-in on the environment" and was held on April 22 to maximize the number of students that could be reached on university campuses. By raising public awareness of air and water pollution, Nelson hoped to bring environmental causes into the national spotlight."

If you are planning a car trip across the USA how do you react to this kind of News?

A life-threatening, large outbreak of tornadoes is forecast to unfold across the central and southern Plains this weekend...

According to AccuWeather.com Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "The risk is about as high as it gets."

• I say you go for it! Make sure you have your phone, camera, water, snacks & you're wearing a Diaper!

It's not exactly warm outside...especially pre-Noon...

I have been out-and-about lately & I am wearing a sweatshirt, long pants, sox & sneakers & a knit Hat. I cannot believe how many young Mothers are out there wearing flip flops or sandals with bare legs while pushing their kids in a cart towards the store! How come they are not "freezing" when their husbands aren't around???

• It was 44 degrees @ 10:30AM today @ Target & you would have thought it was late July the way some of these Dames were dressed!

Gators!

I went down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last weekend to do some golfing. We played some really nice courses, I spent a boat load but had a great time. One cool thing about playing down in Myrtle Beach is the Gators. There were Aligators everywhere! My friend Chubbs warned me to stay away from them...

Who are these Guys & why are they yelling at each other???

Muy bien, gracias y tu?
