**Super Bowl
I’m not a sports fan so I never watch the Super Bowl…I do however get online the next day and watch the ads.
This year I’m not impressed…at all.
Was disappointed with all of them except, of course, the Budweiser draft horse/bull ad.
Give me a draft horse any day.
**How About That Snow…Or Lack Of It?
I keep looking at snow pictures of the East Coast and thinking….damn that’s a lot of snow…and I believe you guys have another storm coming in next week!
Olympic games start this weekend….the last I heard they didn’t have much snow up there. Wonder how that is going to work.
**Valentine’s Day
To me Valentine’s Day just isn’t that big of deal…maybe thats wierd coming from a woman who loves chocolate, jewelry and flowers.
Heard a local radio poll the other day…
Valentine’s Day is the one holiday men hate most.
Keep forgetting to ask hubs what his view is!
**Haiti Missionaries
I thought yesturday I read that Haiti was going to release those missionaries that tried to illegally remove 22? ‘orphaned’ children. So far I have not seen any updates.
I totaly ‘get’ what the missionaries were trying to do.
Anyone with a heart should want to help those poor children who are in and have been in desparate situations. If I was younger and we had more room I would seriously consider trying to adopt one or two.
However, those particular missionaries were warned ahead of time that if they did not have the proper paperwork trouble would ensue. Apparently they thought they were above the law because they proceeded and were caught.
I honestly don’t think there was criminal intent here to traffic children and the missionaries should be released. However, I do think the Haiti government should ban them from ever returning again. They very well could have jeapardized future legal adoptions.
**911
A few days ago new pictures of 911 were released.
Even though it’s been several years since this horrific attack it seems like yesturday.
**Voting
What is the purpose of holding an election so us minions can vote democratically?
Apparently there is no purpose when the state government can suspend initiatives that the public passed. Think about that the next time you vote.
**Security
Or lack thereof.
I am absolutely pissed and totaly embarrassed for our state. We made national news the other day you know.
Can someone explain just what in the hell a security company is supposed to provide? Are they not supposed to provide…um….security?
Well apparently not.
King County taxpayers are footing the bill for more than ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR for the services of Tukwila-based Olympic Security Services to keep us safe.
Tell that to the 15 year old girl that was savagely beaten by three men on January 28th. While she was down on the ground and being visciously kicked repeatedly the security guards did nothing.
Nothing.
Except to watch.
They caught the men (all under 18 I believe) who have since pleaded not guilty (um hey fellas…they have you on tape!).
Olympic Security’s contract runs out this year and I hope to god King County has the balls to contract with another security company that can actually provide security instead of wasting millions of dollars for nothing.
You can see the video (its painful) and read about it more HERE.
They have showed this video on tv many times during news broadcasts and I get pissed all over again.
