So much to say/do...so little time...

Have you ever felt this way?? There are so many things you want to accomplish, but something always gets in the way, whether it be a planned or unplanned event that comes up, there's always something! Wow, these past few weeks have been pretty stressful because I'm finally in the midst of my flight training, with about 5 months to go. Everyone always asks how much fun it is, and it really is fun, but there is always a negative side to "training." You know what I'm talking about. Anytime you start a new job--training. Training is never all that fun. Training is the hard part. Training is that point where you feel like a big idiot because you have no clue what you are doing, and the instructor makes you feel like you should know so much more by now. I know many people who have quit at that point, not feeling adequate enough to finish, but it is at that point where the men and the boys are separated, so to speak. Sometimes you have to suck it up and do that which you don't want to do, so that eventually you can begin having fun doing it. And that's where I currently stand...right in the midst of training (by "midst" I actually mean beginning).

Yes, it is fun...the most fun I've ever had! But you have to understand that instructors sometimes know how to ruin a good thing, by pointing out every minor discrepancy in your performance, ESPECIALLY when you think you've almost got it. Thus is life--there is always going to be somebody who knows more than you, or who knows how to do it better than you, so just take their advice and be thankful that they are "offering" it!!

I say all this to point out that I've been rather busy lately, and in turn, haven't kept up with my blog and/or politics as much as I have been. Plus, my talk radio station somehow got taken over or something (probably by the liberals) and got turned into a country station...can you believe that??? Nothing makes me more upset, than my favorite radio station being turned into COUNTRY!! haha...no offense to all you honky-tonk badonkadonks out there, it's just not for me! =)

A new news/talk station did appear out of the blue, thankfully, but with different commentators, or some of the same ones at different times than I'm used to. It's like getting off of a plane from china and having jet lag, not knowing what time it is or just being all turned around. So strange. But I have seen a few things that make me happy, and a few not so happy...

Time for a round of Good news/Bad news...

Good news:
I was a little upset that I couldn't watch the VP debate Thursday night (It was on past my bedtime), but was happily surprised when I finally did get to see it on Friday. Sarah Palin was AWESOME!! And with no teleprompter! She had some really good points, ones that Biden couldn't answer. And while we're on the topic of Biden, can someone please explain why you would go on national TV in this manner and LIE to the American People?? I'm not talking about just a few lies, either...he lied 14 TIMES (in what, like an hour??)...that tells me a lot about what the "Obama Administration" has in store for us...scary. But Sarah Palin tore it up, and boy, was I impressed! Now let's take a look at what actually led to me being plesantly "surprised." I had seen the 2 "interviews" (if you can call them that) that were played on TV from Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. I was dissappointed with her performance in both, but I didn't just leave it at that, I had to ask myself "why"...how can such a successful woman like her become Gov. of a state and not be able to conduct an interview? Here's what I found out. This is the result of some serious, SERIOUS editing. I hate the fact that the "interviews" in their entirety weren't aired. Instead, ABC got to pick and choose what clips they wanted us Americans to see. Why didn't the McCain camp. insist that they post the entire session, is my question.

If you noticed from the Obama/O'Reilly interview, the ENTIRE INTERVIEW was aired, that's right, the whole thing. Funny how that works...fox news actually was "fair and balanced" by showing America what ACTUALLY WAS SAID in the interview, instead of just picking out the worst parts of the interview. Of course, in reality, the entire interview was terrible for Obama, so I guess, in that regard, Fox News DIDN'T HAVE TO edit anything! haha!!

How about some Bad news:
House Rep. Barney Frank came on Bill O'Reilly to "defend" his honor about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but all he successfully accomplished was looking like an idiot (of course Bill did, too, but I think I might react the same way to somebody who wouldn't take responsibility for their actions). Listen to the exchange...



See what I mean?? Here's the bad news...Frank tried to act like he told people NOT to invest in his little govt' project, when in reality he basically said that they weren't the "best" investment, but there was no way they were going under, and that the future for these banks was "solid"...oh really, sir, and exactly how "solid" are they now? And yes, they did go under, so just admit that you're a big idiot and you made a huge mistake...by "huge" I mean a $700 Billion mistake...and you thought spending $20 Billion a month in Iraq was outrageous! Why is he still allowed to have a job? The left is ruining this country to a point where eventually we'll turn into a socialist, liberal mess, and Barney Frank is living proof of this. Hey, thanks for spending our money wisely, Mr. Frank, your tax-payers appreciate you...we didn't really need it, anyway.

Don't get me wrong, here, it's not that it isn't fun, because it is!! Tons of fun!! But all I was trying to say is that sometimes the teachers turn something that could be really fun into a frustrating experience! Still fun, but sometimes we're just not able to soak it all in, ya know?!?!
