If political rhetoric could kill, it could be 9/11 all over again..

I thought my head might blow off listening to the pundits talk about President Obama's job speech Thursday night. Thank god the tennis match between Roger Federer and Jo-Willy Tsonga resumed after a rain delay.

There is something very wrong about how people speak about our president, whether they agree with him or not.

(Not to mention those senators and congressmen who did not show up in order to watch a football game or otherwise skip out - railing against efforts to create jobs, while failing to do their own!)

I don't xpect everyone to agree with me either. On the otherhand, civil discourse would be nice.

My recent entry "On not giving money to political parties, especially after Women's no-Equality Day!" (see below) was definitely meant to stir up conversation re political contributions to political parties that do nothing specific to elect MORE women to Congress. Instead part of an email received from a (obviously no longer) friend included this: "Unfortunately, there's no BRE to mail back to you, taped to a brick. So this message will have to suffice...

Taped to a brick? Did she really mean it? Does really care about the issues or Equal Representation?

Same can be said of those railing against our president before he even had a chance to leave the Capitol building. Do they really mean it? Do they really care about the issues or American people?

Or are we in many ways on the same road that Mohamed Atta and his co-conspirators came down 10 years ago today? Seriously.
