All politics aside, the behavior of some Representatives last night during the healthcare reform bill vote was appalling. Texas Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer acknowledged Monday that he was the lawmaker who shouted "baby killer" during a floor speech by Rep. Bart Stupak. What was this man thinking? Oh, yeah, he wasn't thinking. He was emotional and reactive. That's exactly the type person I want in Congress representing me during these important, groundbreaking and historical law-making sessions. Not really!
Don't forget that Congressman Wilson shouted “You lie!” during Obama’s September address to a joint session of Congress on healthcare. Another prime example of emotional outbursts that embarrass the country.
Is this junior high school or the United States House of Representatives? These are only a couple examples of the less-than-stellar behavior exhibited on the floor of Congress. Whether or not a person agrees with the motion being discussed, I would expect our leaders to act with dignity and to command respect -- respect for themselves and for the country. As it turns out, those who have sunk to acting like school children in public debates are the same people who es-pound their devote love for America.
If you love this country, act like you mean it and show some respect for the office you hold. Its really quite simple, simple.

Spring!
I've been quiet for way too long!
It's work that's to blame. Much too much work to do and not enough time to do what I want... like write here.
Much as taken place in these quiet months. Tragically, my pet hedgehog, Ivy, has developed WHS -- Wobby Hedgehog Syndrome. Funny name for a deadly version of MS. I am giving her hospice care and must be doing okay because she's still here.
The winter holidays came and went, but not as usual. My husband and I undertook painting the inside of our house in preparation and just made it before relatives arrived on Christmas Eve. Whew. But, everything looked really good, so it was well worth the trouble of building-disassembling-building-disassembling repeatedly the two story scaffolding.
Spring break is about to end for my college freshman and junior, who both spent it in Florida.
My childhood hero and Pastor passed away and was buried today. He had a massive turnout and a beautiful day for his send-off.
And, it's the first day of Spring!
I'm inspired again and going to make time for my passion - Kissimple.
