A Tumbleweed

Seed Newsvine


Turning and turning
The tumbleweed goes
Always rolling

Without feet nor toes
The way is any way
It no longer grows

Restless, can’t lay
With each wind gust
It dos not stay

Useless as rust
And without seed
Without vice or lust

It is a tumbleweed
Without a creed
no blood, can’t bleed.

Is Sarah Palin a bad example?

Seed Newsvine


It appears that Sarah Palin is a paradox. Sarah speaks about all the good things about the family and other good things, like every politician does. But appears that Palin puts emphasis on family values. That is great to keep families together.

However, families, especially conservative families like Sarah proposes, function by two parents. Right on, she is on target. This is amazing from a mother of five with a special needs child to care for. Supporting the family and being there, goes hand and hand.

As experts and experienced people say, the best teaching method is example; and this is the area where Sarah Palin may be falling short. The family means doing things together—a mother and a father. How can Palin the mom, spend time with her family, when a great portion of her time is on the road giving speeches, or preparing talks, and surfing the news?

Sarah Palin is not being the exemplary mom that she appear to be. Seems that her husband can cover for her; or does Sarah Palin hire people to help out with parental tasks? Even if the last is true, mom is not there. Sarah Palin does not fulfill the role of a loving mom, to fulfill the very role that she advocates.

Than, if Sarah Palin is not living by what she preaches, how can we rely on Sarah Palin as politician? Could it be that Palin, is visioning a two layer system where one set of rules apply to rich and affluent, while another set of rules apply to the proletariat? That is the way things are now, we do not need people doing what is being done; it has not worked and will not work. We need politicians with an honest focus, and with a new perspective. We need our equals to be politicians.

UPDATE 1-Governments ready to fly citizens out of Egypt
-----------------------------------

My comment


The first exodus was 3,300 years ago by the Israelites, now it’s the rest of the world running for their lives.

What do the governments know that the public does not see? Chaos is already in Egyption streets—the police is “retreating.”

STRAIGHT LINE

Seed Newsvine


Eve and Adam—out
Of the Garden of Paradise,
Adam by choice, Eve by clout,
She wanted to be wise.

Thacious, Oedipus, and others,
Heroes by choice and make.
Some also were mothers,
Homer, Aristotle and the fake.

The woman in the tent with a peg,
Cleopatra, Ahaz and Jezebel,
Esther, Mordekhai—for trial to beg,
Abraham had to dig another well.

Jacob, Rachel, Leah and Laban,
Potiphar’s wife—Joseph in jail.
Pharaoh and Israel’s haven.
Moses’ mother chose—didn’t fail.

Greeks made heroes, and wives for the home to keep.
Males named predators, to act.
Truth didn’t matter, therefore the writers had to leap.
Males and females labeled as fact.

Literature maintaining the myth
For the expecting audience:
The man as a mean smith
The woman as full of innocence.

My comment

It is amazing, when men murder their children, they are put in jail waiting trail; but when women murder their children, they are put in the hospital.

When was the last or first time a father was put in the hospital for killing for killing hi children? Is this bias? Please tell me.

Is The Telegraph helping or endangering lives in Egypt?

Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising
The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years, The Daily Telegraph has learned.

Is The Telegraph helping or endangering lives in Egypt?

The Telegraph’s decision to credit America with democracy movements is great, but the timing may be uappropriate, in Egypt’s situation. After all, the democratic movement is not yet in power. According to the news, the very leader who was the supposed connection to the US embassy a few years ago, is under Egyption arrest.

Under the present conditions, the release of such information may put democracy leaders’ lives in jeopardy. At least torture is almost guaranteed.

Therefore, where is the editors’ wisdom about such publication at this time? It appears as anti-American. Or worse yet, it may cause difficulties for US intervention or help with communicating with Mubarak.

Is this Fox News bias?

Army officer's wife charged in children's slayings

My comment:

If it was the father, the headlines would probably say “Father kills children”. However, Officer’s wife, implies that it was not a mother. Is this a form of bias to protect the title “Mother?” Let me know if I am wrong. Feminism is very sneeky and clever in wording by their own definition of words.
