Home Again, Home Again...What Was That Refrain?
Just returned home tonight...wish it could be next week. Too many family and friends to see, too little time to do it all! Especially when hubby is not as attuned to traveling the road as is his erstwhile spouse. We left at a very convenient time...shortly after early voting began in Texas. We voted on Tuesday the 19th, and left on Friday the 22nd. We missed most of the political calls...well, almost.
We always let friends and family know when we are going to be out of town, so we seldom have many voice mails when we arrive back at the homestead. Yet when we arrived home this evening and I saw we had eleven voice mails, I asked hubby if he would care to guess how many were political? We both said, "Half, at least!". In reality, it was two thirds! Only four calls were personal, and two of those were tax related from financial advisers!
While we were away, we saw the screen crawler read "Columbia Invades Ecuador", which we found interesting due to our Colombian "son". I came home and did some researching the story. I also had an e-mail in my mailbox from a friend who is also Colombian. She had just received this news.
TOP COLUMBIAN FARC COMMANDER SAID TO BE KILLED
Her response to that story?
"OMG!!!!
You are right!!!
I have the chills!!!!
I can't even express how HAPPY I am!!!!!!
This is URIBE's way to deal with terrorists!!!"
Don't you love it when friends get good news!?! Of course, that is not the way much of the world see this story, especially the drive by media!
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened to join the rebels in a war to overthrow hard-line Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, a key ally of the United States, deploying tanks, fighter jets and thousands of troops along the Colombian border."
WaPo calls the radical socialist Chavez "Venezuelan President...", but refers to Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe as "hard-line". Of course the liberal socialists at the Washington Post revere our enemy socialist Chavez, but hate our ally Uribe! Why anyone believes anything these people write is just beyond me!

Why doesn't your trackback work? Here is the URL: rosemarysthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/03/blogger-news-fairness-doctrine.html. I left out the http in the hopes that this will go through. I found several more links to articles about the situation in Columbia.
It's good that you made it made it back safely. Have a great day.
