Random Saturday Musings

So many things to discuss, so little time before I have to go get some groceries...

1) Putin Writes an Op-Ed

Really, Vladimir?  Really?

If you haven't read it, by all means, go here

I haven't seen this much obnoxious self-aggrandization and pontification since the Charlie Sheen Winning! rants of a few years ago.

I can't tell you whether or not I fully know if the international community should use force against Syria.  I know the U.S., like other powerful countries, is often accused of being too quick to go to the force option (though frankly I think someone needed to do something about Syria a while ago) but I refuse to see America chided by a man whose human rights record is so deplorable and who sells arms to countries who have no business having those weapons.

I will take my cues on what to do from international experts and academics, not this man:


And if I have offended any Putin lovers, my sincere apologies! ;-)

2) Colorado Flooding

Is it just me, or is this happening more and more?  My heart is with the folks out in Colorado, who are dealing with this horrendous natural disaster. This is water of biblical proportions..



3) The Miley Abides...

Twerking seems so innocent now....

The metaphor Miley has employed, riding naked on a wrecking ball for her latest video, is as subtle as a heart attack....

Oh Miley - I never much liked your show or your music, but please, sweetie, dial it back a little...



4) Virginia is coming!  Virginia is coming!

News that Virginia Woolf will be a cameo character in this season of Downton Abbey tickled me pink!

You can read all about it here.


 Virginia Woolf (George C. Beresford/Hulton Archive); Christina Carty in in 'Belonging to Laura'


Who's next - Vita Sackville-West doing the gardening?  Oh - I can't wait!

That's it for me - have an awesome day and stay safe out there!
