We didn't get a whole lot of snow but there was enough so the schools were closed and there were car accidents all over the place. People in SUVs think they can drive as fast as they would on a dry road. I guess they figure because they have big cars with front wheel or all wheel drive they won't get into accidents. Yeah, right.
And there were tons of WMD in Iraq, too. :P
At this time last year, I remember I had all kinds of internal storms over the situation in Iraq. I remember that President Bush kept talking about all these hideous WMD Saddam was hiding and we had to go in there, depose him, and confiscate those weapons!
I didn't think we ought to be invading Iraq without knowing for sure they had these WMD ... at least not without the approval of the United Nations. Okay, so I realize that the UN doesn't act quickly on anything. Still, it would have been better for us in the long run to have support.
Because ... what's happened since we went in and "won" the war is that terrorists have been picking off our soldiers ever since. We've asked for help from other countries and most of them have been taking the it's-your-war position and they won't send their people to get killed.
The nerve.
Once the war was "over" everyone began looking for these WMD ... and no one found any.
There were all kinds of reasons we didn't find any, including:
The weapons are there, they're just hidden underground somewhere
The weapons were smuggled into Syria
There aren't any
What's that? NO WMD? Now, I wasn't so sure there were any to begin with. Or, I could see that they might have been hidden. But now there are experts coming forward and saying, well, looks like we made a boo-boo.
Who is your favorite comedian and why?
It?s hard for me to pick just one. The first one I thought of is Red Skelton. He had a true clown?s face in that his features were very ?rubbery?. He had a way of expressing being sad, confused or happy without it looking forced. He could do that, makeup or no. He could use his body, too, and you?d think he really was a seagull! Most people are awkward about using their bodies ? but not actors, clowns and those with deaf parents. It?s more natural, using your facial expression, arms and legs and all the space around you. He was terrific at using gesture and mime and lip reading. I loved watching him on Saturday nights years and years ago when I was little.
