Jenny Sanford is the wife of the Governor of South Carolina. Her husband, Governor Mark . Sanford has been the subject of immense media scrutiny after he dropped off the face of the earth to rush to Buenos Aires to see his mistress.

I hereby send out a Virtual High Five to Mrs. Sanford. She is to be admired for doing the right honorable thing. She still, out of respect, kept quiet. This shows courage and true grit. The fact that the man apparently asked for permission to see his mistress shows the total disdain he has for everything that he supposedly espoused to. Mrs. Sanford basically told the world that she did not care what happened to him. She still had the courage to still keep the door open. She, in my view, is a true "tiger lady". I was almost driven to tears when I read the story of Mrs. Sanford showing off her son's latest achievement in school.


What is it about such men that makes them forget to do the right thing? I continue to wonder about someone who probably owes his success to his wife, is the mother of his children and has been a true "soulmate" to have betrayed her in such a manner. She was too gracious to him to have just asked him to leave. I can't even imagine crossing such a redline, ever.

Mr. Sanford has a lot of soul searching to do. America is a land of second chances. Richard Nixon was forgiven, Dick Morris came back and Marv Albert too. If Mr. Sanford had the guts, he would resign, rebuild his life and go on for the sake of his boys. Someone once said to me that once you are a parent, it is not about you anymore. It is all about them. Mr. Sanford forgot that in his search for a "soulmate". Of all the hysteria in the press, I view it to be the greatest tragedy of all.

Roxanna Saberi's Plight

April 8th 2009 22:16
I had written about Roxanna Saberi's Plight. She's a Freelance Journalist working in Iran and was detained by Iranian Authorities on some initial bogus charges. Now, they have accused her of spying.

I can't understand the paranoia the Iranian regime has over a journalist. Although Secretary Clinton's deep concern is welcome, the practical leverage the United States has is very minimal at this stage. Whatever evidence Iranian Judicial Authorities have is more than likely fabricated anyway. The smart thing for the Iranian Government is to encourage dialogue and discussions. Repression and the discouragement of dissent will do nothing but reinfroce a negative stereotype that would continue to play into the hands of the so-called rightwing in the West who are gunning for a fight with Iran anyway. I hope that the realists prevail.

Oscar Night: My Choice For Best Picture

February 22nd 2009 21:49
Tonight is Oscar's Night. My choice is Slumdog Millionaire. It shows a beautiful story of rags to riches. Who cares that it does not happen to be a "Hollywood" movie. This is entertainment at its' best. I think Hollywood can truly learn a thing or two from Bollywood. This is why I am a Bollywood Fan:

Let's play a game of Blame the Victim. I'll start: a woman goes out, has a few drinks, is feeling drunk, and suddenly a man comes along and rapes her. Who gets the blame? If you said the rapist you would be wrong.

Time and time again the so called "pro-life" movement has shown it's true colors by being pro anything but life. At least not life as most people know it, in a thinking, feeling, living human being. It seems that once again the "pro-life" people have stepped up to say they are absolutely against life.

HIV
To celebrate National HIV Testing Day a group from Planned Parenthood made arrangements to pass out fliers at a local Wal-Mart. Despite what the extreme anti-choice like to claim, the fliers were in no way attempting to give porn and birth control to kindergarteners. What that would even have to do with HIV testing and prevention is beyond me anyways
