For lack of time to really write down what I would like to (kids are screaming in the shower and have to be dried, lotioned, dressed, brushed, read to and bedded down....) I am just going to put down the words of Toby Keith's latest song...says so much with so few words:
Sometimes I think that war is necessary. Every night I pray for peace on Earth. I hand out my dollars to the homeless. But believe that every able soul should work. My father gave me my shotgun that I'll hand down to my son, try to teach him everything it means.
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right. But I bring my better angels to every fight. You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand. Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.
I stand by my right to speak freely. But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV. And before all of this debatin' turns to angry words and hate, sometimes we should just agree to disagree. And I believe that Jesus looks down here and sees us, and if you ask him he would say...
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right. But I bring my better angels to every fight. You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand. Hate me if you want to, love me if you can. That's all I got tonight folks!
Oh...and Sally Field would have been censored on ANY network for taking the Lord's name in vain!
MarGEE OUT!

Amen Sister! There is so much "spinning" in the news today that it is hard to know what is really going on. Isn't it interesting that with all of the checks and balances in our government that the individuals who make the decisions with Bush can bow out and leave him with the majority of the blame? Believe me, I'm not a huge Bush fan but I question the individuals who make these really hard decisions and then bow out and quit. One individual does not run our country. I wonder what the world would be like if the United States tucked its tail in and only funded our internal needs. We'd be much better off...for a very very short time. Grace and Compassion should guide our decisions. Angee out!
Said very gracefully and compassionately.
I think you all know how I feel about this war. I think you all know how I feel about George Bush. All of that aside.....God Bless our Troops. Bring them home safe. Bring them home soon.
This wasn't even about GW, the war and/or the troops. It was more about Toby, the Dixie Chicks and the Flying NUN!
PEACE OUT!
You CRACK me up. I know how much you love those darn Dixie Chicks. I have to admit I was a little worried about the Flying Nun the other evening. She just couldn't get her thoughts together......seriosuly. Ha, Ha...I'm cracking myself up....seriosuly.
Seriosuly...Give the Nun credit, maybe she was just trying to make fun of our wordsmith President.
