So there really isn't even any point in updating on the holidays and everything since my last post.
Christmas= good
New Year's= good
That's about all there is to say about that.
Let's move up to present time.
Roger, my mom and I just got back from the CPAC conference in D.C. last week. It was covered on the news, but I have to say that the most atrocious coverage was on MSNBC. I don't expect them to give it a glowing report, but what they were doing was not only poor journalism, but offensive to those who attended.
Yep, they were basically making fun of the people who attended. Keith Olberman made it a point to include it in his Countdown, all the while noting how silly and insignificant it is (gotta love irony). If it is so absurd, and so silly, and so futile for the conservative movement to meet and discuss their failures and new directions, then why the hell is it worthy of a spot on his show?
I can't even say they took clips of the speeches out of context. To say that would be saying that they actually knew the context and selectively chose which parts to show. This was not the case. They weren't even actually there at the conference to cover it. They used video from c-span and news agencies who actually were present. They would show a clip of a speech and then give their commentary about it....when the entire theme/topic of the speech was exactly opposite what they were discussing.
I was absolutely livid watching that garbage from Keith and the likes of him on MSNBC who are so "open minded" unless you disagree with them, and then you're a moron.
That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. The speakers really inspired me to get more involved as I'm seeing our country fall apart into some pseudo-European nation.
This week, I am on vacation and relaxing at home. I'm sick (again), so I'm not getting much done besides watching Food Network and QVC.
As a result of my repeated illnesses, I will be having a tonsillectomy this June. Really....not....looking....forward....to that.
What I am looking forward to, however, is our trip to Europe! We're going to Brussels and France in June, just after my graduation.
Being that I am a bit tired, I will continue this another time.
