Catching up (sort of)..

I am way past due on a Nursing school update, I know.

But in the meantime, tonight I decided to do my catching up with Oprah - from Earth Day two weeks ago.

Without expecting to, I fell more in love with Julia Roberts AND Sandra Bullock watching this episode (who knew they were so fucking GREEN?!)

Yet the moment that really got me was Oprah introducing Oscar and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Former VP Al Gore. I literaly teared up - thinking for one brief, shining moment, what our country and planet would look like today if he had been (rightfully) in power these last 8 years.

Then he talked about his new campaign, which includes a commercial with Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson. On a couch. Together. Laughing. And agreeing.

God, it still hurts thinking about all we have lost...

:(

But Al Gore was boring and robotic in the televised debates ... and he looked like a policy weenie. So clearly he couldn't win ...

Ok I'm crying too.

BTW, remember when Tipper Gore was a model mother - for the "Religious Leaning To the Right if not Totally Sick With Rightness Right"? Which is alright with me too. You know I'm just thinking James Dobson and Tim LaHaye's wife would have a hard time claiming the moral high ground against First Lady Tipper. That's all.

Y'know, re: Al Gore...

Is it just me or does it seem like the best parts of him have surfaced now that he doesn't have to pander to people for votes?

I can't get past his comments on why he supports gay marriage, like, it prevents bad things like promiscuity!!!

Besides, I think we've gone way past the tipping point. Call me a nihilist . . .
