New York has all kinds of headline-stealing critters: bed bugs, the Bronx Zoo Cobra, the JFK turtles. Not to be outdone, this week a peacock escaped from the Central Park Zoo and perched on the window ledge of a tony apartment building on Fifth Avenue. When he got tired of gawking at the locals, he went back home. See story here. Way to hold it down, free bird! LOL
I’m pretty much out of words to express my frustration about this whole debt ceiling mess in Washington. So I thought I’d pick a song that, at least in the chorus, sums up my feelings as a way to shout to the universe.

I’m an attorney and in the job I’ve been in for the past several years, I’ve seen all types of cases where people solve their problems with guns and knives. So not too much causes me pause. But today in the news there was a story about an off-duty McDonald’s manager who punched a woman in the face for bringing a service dog into the restaurant along with her two autistic children. I guess the manager lost her mind over the mistaken belief that the animal could not come into the restaurant. [Some people believe only dogs for the visually impaired are allowed into a public place, but in truth the law allows service animals for people with a wide range of disabilities.] Even if the off-duty manager believed she was right, how was punching someone in the face the answer to the problem? There were all sorts of ways to clear up the issue without violence. Now the manager has lost her job and is wanted by the police for assault and battery. Really, people? What in the hell are you thinking out there? You need to use your brains and not your fists. Chill the hell out.

Former Atlanta Public School (APS) superintendent Dr. Beverly Hall’s denials about anything about the rampant cheating at APS schools and Rupert Murdoch’s spectacular denial about the phone hacking going on at his global company have me really thinking about who’s in charge of these powerful organizations and who’s accountable for the intricate malfeasance which is wreaking havoc on innocent people’s lives.
Even if these two “really” didn’t “know” what was going on in their organizations, how could they have occupied top leadership positions? Their denials do nothing to absolve them of wrongdoing, but simply make them look superbly incompetent and sad, sad, sad. I mean, if you’re sitting on a shit pile, how can you not smell the stink?
No government investigation or hearing, threats of retribution, or pie in the face can do enough to make these scoundrels pay for the havoc they leave in their wake. And shame on us for being too apathetic to see that no one was minding the store until things got out of control.

This week Michele Bachmann launched her campaign for the GOP 2012 presidential candidate. In addition to wrongly claiming that John Wayne was from her home town of Waterloo, Iowa, it was revealed that she has said and may actually believe that the founding fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery. WHAT? I’m pretty sure the founding fathers were busy trying get out of England’s clutches and defining each of their slaves as three-fifths of a person. Worse than the fact that her facts are all wrong, is the fact that she holds on to her revisionist version of history even when its clear she is wrong. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a dummy, and perhaps a straight up liar, in the White House no matter what their political party is.

Today, I had to smile, widely, when I heard Newt Gingrich’s entire senior campaign staff resigned en masse. This included his spokesperson who has been with the man for twelve years. Newt says he’s still running for president, but one has to wonder who’s going to navigate. Personally, I think it would be wrong to have a president who shares a name with a reptile.
