Sunday Funnies

So, here it is. Another Sunday has rolled around and I'm slated to blog my second ever "Sunday Funny". Like I said last week, I work Sunday mornings so I have the opportunity, or misfortune, of airring the news shows that morning. (It depends on which mood you catch me in.) And of course, during the week I'm always working during the evening news and get to catch "World News". At the end of the week I feel like I've met my quota of news and feel adequately in touch with the world.

Anyway, getting to the point... The whole game of politics amuses me most of the time. I feel for the people who find themselves in the public eye because I certainly would stick my foot in my mouth more often than not, if I were to find myself in their shoes. However, I feel like having your words quoted, recorded, disected, and replayed second by second is something that comes with the territory. If you are unable to put truthful words together in intelligent sentences and have the ability to back them up with hard facts, then I don't think politics is for you... or at least it shouldn't be. Being a military wife, I take the government and all our leaders pretty seriously. Not that they, themselves, always deserve to be treated that way, due to some of their outrageous words and actions, but their elected position does. Lately the back and forth between politicians has done nothing more than make me laugh at them. The banter back and forth is just ridiculous, yet they keep doing it! What a waste of time. Our men and women are at war in foreign countries, literally giving their lives so that these politicians will have the freedom to continue what they are doing. Doesn't that seem unfair? I wish the smoke and screen of our government would get torn down, sooner rather than later, so that we can have complete transparency into what our government is doing and what their intentions are, as well as what the people desire of the future.

The clip this week is from ABC's "This Week" and is an interview with Joe Biden. He adamently swore that troops would have a significant decrease in numbers in Afghanistan by the time the July '11 date rolled around. Well, watch as he tries to un-do the words that he said and manipulate them into something else entirely. All it does is make me laugh because we all knew better anyway... it's not like anyone actually believed him. The link is found below.

Also, this story made me laugh this weeks as well. While I have my own religious beliefs, I am well aware that some people may not agree with mine, and am glad they have the ability to express that. However taking a blow dryer to your forehead to "de-baptise" yourself is just a little on the hilarious side in my mind. Enjoy the link below.

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday and has a fabulous start to the week. Feel free to leave me any kind of feedback, correct my mistakes, assert your own opinions, or share any type of "funny". :)
