Because You All Wanted To Know...

...just what are the most pressing issues facing our country today, in my opinion?

Breaking it Down

1. The chick with the bazillions of kids. Everyone is in an uproar because she had octuplets when she already had six kids and was on assistance and now all the taxpayers have to pay for all these little punks.

To Which I Say: I think you're missing the point. Who really cares if taxpayer money is going to help raise these kids? They're here already--what do you want them to do, end up homeless or starving? A child is always a GOOD thing, although the means it was created by and the situation it happens to be born into may not be ideal or even acceptable. If it has to be taken care of, then it has to, by whatever means necessary.

But whatever, I am going to be seriously unpopular here and seem all prudish, but I think the real tragedy here is that she decided to bring them all into the world without the support of a father. There is no way one lady can take care of 14 children on her own, which makes me feel bad for the kids. That, and I don't like the idea of in vitro fertilization in the first place. Opens up a whole 'nother can of worms which leads to scenarios such as this. And worse.

2. Is it really fair that Chuck Wicks gets to be partnered with Julianne Hough on the next season of DWTS?

To Which I Say: No, it is not fair! They are going to have an unfair advantage over the rest of the contestants, and seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Sheesh.

3. Was Pam really telling the truth to Michael about the letter he stole from Holly's computer?

To Which I Say: I'm not sure. I hope she was, because I want to see more of Holly and Michael! That A.J. dude looks SO not her type anyway.

4. The economic stimulus package: Good thing? Bad thing?

To Which I Say: I really don't freaking care. I guess Democrats are going to think it's a good thing and Republicans are going to think it's a bad thing. Being an Independent Socialist Libertarian, myself, I have a tiny inkling that maybe this isn't the best idea at this juncture in our country's history, but on the other hand? If it means I don't have to pay back that huge-o first-time-homebuyer credit we got that was supposed to act as a 15-year loan...I'm all for it!


And now to the most pressing issue facing our nation today...



5. Are all the members of the Oceanic Six going to make it back to the island on time? Is Mrs. Hawking Daniel's mother? Are Sawyer and Juliet having a thing? Is Miles Dr. Candle's son? Is Aaron really Jacob? Is Richard really from Ancient Egypt?

To Which I Say: Yes to all!



Hm, all that and I don't even have television.

So what are your ideas on these important issues?

    I, too, hope that Pam was telling the truth! I was waiting for a cut-in to close-up so she could tell us so. I love Michael and Holly together!

  2. I really didn't get why they would bring Holly into the show at the end of last season only to ship her off to somewhere else right away. What's up with that?
    I the premise was that they were trying to avoid another Micheal/Jan fiasco but it just seems weird.
    I bet she'll be back in the picture. :)

  3. yeah, I thought Julianne wasn't going to be dancing this season. She may have an unfair advantage, but just imagine if they end up breaking up during the show - awkward!!!

    As for the octuplets, they need all the help we can give them. Not that that makes what the mother and her fertility doctor did better or right, but they are here and hopefully they will be okay and grow up to be adults who make better decisions than their mother. I don't understand why she did this after already having 6, and especially without a father. Sad.

  4. 1. kids = good, creating people under a microscope = not good

    2. kinda tired of the wunder-kid sibling duo of Julianne + her bro, what's his name.

    3. Michael + Holly = good

    4. not sure

    5. I think we're in for a Sawyer/Kate/Jack/Juliet quadrangle...quadrilateral. Richard is Ramses II.

  5. Who's Dr. Candle? Is he the Asian guy on the training videos?

  6. Yeah, that's him. Apparently his "other" name is Pierre Chang.
