Gas Prices by ZIP CODE - Loaded Issue Alert!

Well we may feel helpless... but only because we are too (American) idle to get up, go out and protest!
Which, if I recall - is the (latest) reason we also spend billions of dollars in Iraq - so THEY can get up, go out and protest - one of the key privileges of democracy. Even if the war really was a run at the oil over there - that strategy apparently did not work out either - yikes!

Now it seems we just outsource democracy... as wars in other countries. The French riot in the streets when job benefits change, yet here we enjoy struggling things and just... ahh, complaining - sounds pathetic and kind of puny coming from a "super power" like America. We may have lost our Mojo but be reminded it is our hard earned money that’s being spent abroad with little left over to cure or soothe America's issues. Sadder still, we spread democracy so selectively - there are other nations that have far worse conditions such as Africa - the need there is endless as we well know, or should know - what have you done for Africa lately?

I guess it is what it is. I am saddened because it seems we have lost our power and sense of outrage as human beings and Americans - now days we just sit down. It feels we can't or won't stand up for issues that are in our faces every day and affect our futures and those of our children and families, and the earth as a whole. (I'm folding my soapbox up now).

So Happy Trails...

Can You Hear Me Now? (dammit!) - Naomi Campbell : An Analysis

Supermodel Infected w/ Chat Rage??  Serial Handset Attacks Continue

OMG!
When successful adults behave as badly as Naomi Campbell they deserve to be called out. So I am amused to provide commentary as a Public Service Offering -PSO.

My advice:
She needs to either stay off the drugs - or stay off the phone!
Phones seem to be her weapon of choice = how interesting. Can't she reach for something else when the rage hits?   Other stars have this proclivity as well - perhaps this is a sign of a new social disorder... Chat Rage?

At left it appears she is suffering from a mild form of cellular sclerosis - too much telephony I suspect.
...what color pill do they give out for that?
