Where Have You Been?

Seriously, what is going on? I have been waiting.

In the news: FOX News Anchor Tony Snow takes over as WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY.

Bush names Tony Snow press secretary
"President George W. Bush named Fox News Radio host Tony Snow as White House press secretary on Wednesday in his latest move to shake up his staff and breathe new life into his presidency."
Yes you did not read this wrong, the White House has hired a cable news channel anchor as the next press secretary. Next week look for Rush Limbaugh to be named the new Labor Secretary, and Bill O'Reily the new Secretary of Defense.

And then there is this:

Mexico to decriminalize pot, cocaine and heroin
"Possessing marijuana, cocaine and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if the drugs are carried in small amounts for personal use, under legislation passed by Congress."
Anyone in the mood for a trip to Mexico? It's only 3 1/2 hours from here. I'm in, who else?

And finally tonight, there is this story that really needs to come to the top of the news heap.

Public pressure mounts on US to act on Darfur
"Public pressure is growing on the Bush administration to work harder to stop atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region, even as options narrow over how to tackle what the United States labels genocide."
If we label this as genocide than any human being has to act accordingly to prevent this senseless death and suffering from continuing. I hope we can persuade China and Russia to vote to allow the UN to intervene in Darfur to help the massively overburdened 7,000 African Union troops.
