Tuesday Musings a.k.a. Gotta lot of catching up to do.

It's been too long since I posted... so here goes
- BP has finally capped the well and the first part of the disaster in the Gulf is over...for now. Let's hope for a quick resolution.
- Lindsay Lohan is going to jail for at least three weeks. Good. If a "civilian" had violated their probation like she did, they'd be going away for longer. Let's hope that Lindsay finds her self in solitary and comes back to what could have been a great career. She has immense talent and she's been wasting it. I don't care what Tila Tequila does to herself, but Lindsay has the potential to be an Oscar winner if she gets her head on straight. She was dealt a nasty hand with her worthless parental units. Jail gives you time to think. Let us see if she uses it.
- The NAACP has come out and accused the Tea Party Movement of having some racist elements... and they're right. There are some elements within the Tea Party that are racist and the moderate members of the Tea Party have done very little to repudiate them.

Nope, no racism there... To all Tea Partiers, I respect the energy that you have shown and your desire to fix the country for the better. But the longer you allow the fringe elements to take part in your movement, the more harm is done. This is the disadvantage of not having clear leadership. There should be a sign patrol at the rallies to say to the people bringing these signs, "Gee, maybe comparing Health Care Reform to Dachau isn't the best idea." At this point, Tea Party members who say nothing are just as bad as the moderate Muslims who say nothing when their extremist element comes out. Put your foot down willya?
-In other news, George Armstrong Cust... err, Alvin Greene gave his first official campaign speech yesterday... it was the first step in him getting rolled like Cinnabons in November by Jim DeMint.
-Elana Kagan won the approval of the Senate Judiciary Committee... with one Republican breaking ranks and voting yes. Darn that Senator Lindsey Graham for wanting a qualified nominee to get an up or down vote in the Senate. Darn him all to heck.
- That's enough fake outrage for a while.
