Because it is making me crazy

I have been reading a lot of blogs that use this phrase when they want to highlight something: "Wa Lah!"  For the love of Pete!  It is "voila" (with a little accent mark over the a if your computer will do that for you.)  It is a French word.  It means "to see". 

I realize that it is a small matter, especially in light of the craziness going on in our country with homegrown terrorists and inflamed tea baggers.  I know that most readers just move past the phrase and keep on reading. 

It totally drives me around the bend.  Maybe I just need a nap.

Remember when...

Remember when "family values" was the theme being touted by the Republican party?  Apparently not so much anymore:  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/30/MN3M1CMTME.DTL&type=politics

Reality show?

Sarah Palin wants to star her family in a reality show.  I can't write anything about it.  My head is spinning.  I think I need to lay down.
