It might have been inspiring if it weren't so predictable!

The American people may have a short term memory and may be easily swayed but they're not completely stupid. Michelle Obama has already made it clear exactly how she views America; she is a disciple of Jeremiah Wright. America seems to be the source of problems in the world. America hasn't given her any reason to be proud until about 18 months ago, when her husband began his campaign for the highest office in the land.

I'm sure that Mrs. Obama will sound patriotic and "soft." I'm sure she will be wearing colors to communicate both of those themes. But, in the same way, Hillary's people dressed her up, changed her clothes, make up, hair and wrote "softer" speeches, they could not change the inside toughness, anger and viciousness that crept out in the heat of the moment when there was no script. The thought of Barack Obama in the White House is scary enough (because of his leftist policies); but, the concept of a Michelle Obama First Lady reminds me of the Theresa Heinz Kerry possibility. No thanks!

I'm married to a wonderful man, enjoying and adjusting to Houston...although I don't know if it's possible to ever adjust to the heat and humidity here! I'm loving my brand new life.

And, I just had a meeting with some great people over at KTRH 740 AM and will be filling in for one of their local hosts, Michael Barry.

Listen live this Thursday, July 31 5-7pm Central time (that's 3-5pm for you in the Pacific Time Zone) on www.ktrh.com.

Four women killed 57 people in Iraq today in suicide bomber mode. 

How is it women could be so incredibly oppressed and yet still be deceived into thinking that there is some kind of honor or reward for murder? It's a sick world when mothers and grandmothers are strapping bombs to their little girls in the name of the religion and the culture that oppresses them all.

And, it's a shame on the women whose mission statement is the following (from www.now.org):

NOW is the largest, most comprehensive feminist advocacy group in the United States. Our purpose is to take action to bring women into full participation in society — sharing equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities with men, while living free from discrimination.

Yet, not ONE WORD about Muslim women. Shame on you, NOW.

The more he speaks, the more dangerous he sounds. I'd like a president who is an American citizen who submits to the Constitution of the United States. I'm not sure what laws a "citizen of the world" is supposed to respect, much less enforce as the First Citizen.

I fear for our nation if this man becomes president.

I just so happened to hear a few minutes of his show the other day and heard him talk about what he believes about the hyper-diagnosing and prescribing in our culture...and autism in that context. I may not agree with what he said the first time (at least that one sentence that is being repeated everywhere). "In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out."

Two things:

1. In context what he said is not so radical afterall. Is it not INSANE that one in 150 children is being diagnosed with autism?! Something is very strange about that statistic and I appreciate Savage's attempt to challenge the inanity of those numbers.

2. Even if he were completely off--in context--he has the same right to speak is mind (however crazy the rest of us might deem his opinion) that someone like, hmmmm.....Jesse Jackson does! Isn't it interesting that we didn't hear anyone call for Jackson to "step down" from whatever that position is that he has when he used the N-word on Fox news recently. What irony
that the Left is throwing a tantrum over a wild, strongly opinionated, often offensive talk radio host challenging autism diagnoses while they sit back and implicitly condone the nation's preeminent "black leader" for using the N-word.

Hypocrisy!

I'd like to see both McCain and Obama comment on the benefits of law enforcement relative to the crisis we face with illegal immigration. I won't hold my breath! 

Ok. Ok. So, it's really not news at all. But, it's worth noting that someone eyeing the White House in 4 years is not going to be the biggest cheerleader for her own party's current nominee.
