What the heck?

Can I just tell you how much I hate how our media are a bunch of gossip mongers and not journalists! It just drives me crazy that when someone is trying to move women's rights in a positive direction (you know, like making rape a punishable crime in the Congo) that all our media can do is report on that person getting "snippy" or "bitchy" about a mistranslated question. Sometimes I just want to reach into my car radio or TV and smack the media gossip monger across the face. Wake up losers, focus on what is really important! What a crock of coconuts our media has become. To think that some of them actually went to college and paid money for a journalism degree that they will never use. GAH!!

The real story and true journalism can be found here:
Associated Press - Clinton sees evil in sex crimes in eastern Congo.

I need to go and walk off this frustration. I will smell the flowers and return to some assemblance of normalcy here at the Optix ranch. I need pie.

Later Gators!

Monday is sponsored by the letter "M"

Magnanimity - noun - generosity; greatness of spirit; nobility; high-mindedness. [added by Optix] See SOS Hillary Clinton.

I am still studying for my GRE's for October and I felt the need to add some great vocabulary to my blog today. It is amazing how I work to remember the 700 or so vocabulary words that I am reviewing. If I can find a way to relate Hillary to the word, I tend to remember it better. Hey, whatever works, right?

This is where I have been today:

Reuters - SOS Clinton speaks about pressing the Democratic Republic of Congo's government to address the atrocities to women.

And speaking of atrocities to women, how about this raid in Suffolk County, NY:

Newsday - Federal agents raid a sex ring organization that enslaves undocumented women.

Well, that is it for today. I have 7 more "M" words to learn this afternoon...I gotta get cracking!

See Ya!

Tidbits for a Saturday

The Toronto Star has an interesting piece about the statistics of women winning in a political race in Canada based on where they live.

The Wall Street Journal talks about Pink Taxi's and their success in Beirut. This is girl power innovation at it finest!


Don't spend the day inside, get out and enjoy the great outdoors! Summer is moving by fast, you don't want to miss it!


C Ya.
