What's The World Coming To?

Caitlyn Jenner:  Woman of the year?  Seriously?  How is she even eligible for such an award?  And of all the groups to hand out this award, it is from Glamour Magazine.  What's happening?  Do companies really believe they are on the cutting edge of society when they do this sort of thing? First, Jenner is recognized by ESPN for a courage award as an athlete even though Caitlyn has never competed in an athletic event.  Now Jenner is "woman of the Year" even though it has been less than a year since her transformation.  And just exactly how does changing one's gender make a person worthy of any award when we now have three women who graduated from Army Ranger school for the first time?  There are two woman running for president and countless others doing great work in the fields of medicine, science, and even athletics.

Halloween Costumes:  How is it okay to award Jenner "Woman of the Year" but not okay to dress up as her for Halloween?  It is just a matter of time Halloween costumes are regulated by a liberal run and politically correct driven government.  Americans have the right to be as rude, crass, and vulgar with their costume selections as they have to be that way the other 364 days of the year.  Seriously, just look at how people dress when they go to church.
No New Taxes, My Ass:  In the 1992 presidential election, President Bush was hammered because he broke his pledge in 1988 when he said, "Read my lips, no new taxes."  The lesson, only make such promises during your second term because you have no worries of running for re election.  Case in point, President Obama.  How many times did he promise America there would not be any American boots on the ground in Syria?  Well, he lied.  Worse, he figured by making it official with a Friday announcement before Halloween weekend, the media and republicans would let it slide.  Well, they shouldn't let him off the hook.  Just remember, U.S. involvement in Vietnam began when Kennedy sent a few "advisers" before we ended up in an ugly war.  Mark my words, there may only be a few dozen soldiers going over now, but it won't be long before we are sending troops over by divisions.

The View Less:  Does anyone watch the View or is it one of those shows where people who watch it are just too embarrassed to admit it after the fact?  Four women on one set, none of whom are qualified to talk about any current events, is guaranteed to be a train wreck and yet ABC continues with it.  So now I read where there is a petition to get former Cosby kid Raven Symone booted from the show because of her controversial comments.  If no one admits they watch the show, how does anyone know if she made any comments?  It's like the tree in the forest?  What would happen if the entire show were pulled from the air?  Would anyone notice?

Mother of the Year:  If Glamour Magazine has a "Mother of the Year" award, I am betting it goes to Rosie "STFU" O'Donnell for the quiet and dignified manner in which she has dealt with her adoptive daughter this year.  First she runs away from home and Rosie announces to the world the girl is mentally ill.  As soon as she is returned, she leaves again for good because she turned 18. Rather than keeping quiet, Rosie continued making her feelings public.  Now she goes to Twitter to respond to an interview in which her daughter Chelsea claims not to love Rosie.  An adopted girl who is raised by a lesbian couple, one of whom, Rosie, has suffered from mental illness and hosted The View, wants to go live with her birth mother and Rosie thinks Chelsea is the crazy one.  I think Rosie needs to find someone new to settle down with and adopt another child with.  I wonder if she has Caitlyn Jenner's phone number.
