Single What? Female...

Pope week is over...

And today, we can focus on something else...like Opening Day at Fenway!!

Yes today is opening day at Fenway and it is RING DAY. For the first time in 86 years, the long suffering Red Sox will recieve World Championship rings and a banner will be lofted and placed on the right field wall. I am in all my gear and beaming :)

But of course, there is actually other news in the world other than the Red Sox, such as:

John Bolton-and his milk moustache-is facing confirmation hearings today, getting grilled about his record and comments about the group he is about to become US Ambassador to. *"So, Mr. Bolton, what exactly did you mean when you said that you felt the UN was useless?"*

And while it appears the majority of people think John Bolton is the last guy who should have this job, there, of course have to be a few freaks who are for him. The conservative group Move America Forward (is it just me or does it sound like they are trying to rip off MoveOn.org's name?) apparently is putting out an ad promoting John Bolton's nomination. This group may not be the kind of people you want backing ya up though as they're website says:
"Join us as we help move America forward by kicking the UN out of the US"...

But John Kerry apparently has an ad of his own ready to go as he says: "I will vigorously oppose the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations." you might want to make sure he and others do that by sending them a little note.

I think the only guy less popular for a job right is the President. Apparently, the President has the lowest approval rating on record for a 2nd term guy. His approval rating is, at present, 45%. Even Nixon was at 57%...

And speaking of unpopular things...I think I mentioned in a previous entry that Great Britain tried privatizing Social Security 15 years ago and it didn't work there...in fact, people are being told now to go back to the state plan...*"Um, George...?"*

And even MORE unpopular things...you know, Rick Santorum generally makes me just want to walk up to him and say "Do you know what you are allowing to fall out of your mouth?" but you gotta give it up to him for announcing on the Sunday news shows that Tom DeLay essentially has to fess up or get out. Christopher Shays, though put it a bit more strongly calling DeLay "an embarrassment to me and the Republican Party"...*if ever there was a time for Dick Cheney to tell somebody to "F*** off!" Dick, Tom's an a**hole, you know you wanna say it, come on I know you do...*

And speaking of people saying things you don't expect them to say...John Kerry was at League of Women Voters event in Boston yesterday and apparently mentioned that indeed voters were disenfranchised and duped during the last election...my first thought was "NOW! NOW! he'll talk about it!" Now hopefully he'll DO something about it for 2008.

Okay, it's almost time to turn to mlb.com and the radio to see if SOMEONE in New York will be broadcasting the ring ceremony. YEE HA!

And while you get out your kleenex KEEP E-MAILING!! I know that's not what I've been doing of late, but I'm BACK! So I will continue to e-mail, call, write, fax myf riends and family, the press and my Congressfolk and, as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
