Stop The Freakin' Madness
My 9 year old son Wesley doesn’t like watching the local news; as he thinks it’s “nothing but negative and scary.” The local news is supposed to be a snapshot of our local area, our surroundings, our world… As I was watching the news, thinking, praying and listening; I was reminded that my son has a point and it was motivation to post this ranting run-on sentence; I apologize in advance:
I am sick and tired of all of the negativity, as I was watching a totally false negative campaign ad against a personal friend of mine, who in my opinion happens to be one of Oklahoma’s top politicians, I just shook my head, then I listened to the story about the young girl who was kidnapped and found with help of the amber alert, then the story of the prison warden’s wife who ran off with an escaped inmate for more than 10 years, he said this she said that, voter fraud and then one of my twitter buddies said the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s family being murdered is all over the news in Chicago, the people are buying up guns because the fear of their gun rights being negatively affected, people are hanging a look-a-like dummy of V.P. Candidate Sarah Palin suspended with a noose around her neck and calling it Halloween art, the bail-out, and this truck driver allegedly saw a little girl bound and gagged riding down the street, and these guys were caught planning the assassination of Presidential Candidate Barack Obama and a thief runs over a Lowe’s security guard, OU’s defense is not any good, the Governor allegedly gave over the limit in campaign contributions, he said this-she said that, this ignorant person dropped the “n-word” in addition to saying everyone should “own one” and to top it all off, Joe the Plumber aint even a freakin’ plumber…
Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me… Stop The Freakin’ Madness!
I see why an innocent 9 year old or 40 year old for that matter can thin the news is “negative and scary.” This Madness is not just happening because we are a week away from Nov. 4th although it ’s heightened. {Ugh}
A small silver lining: The stock market is up nearly 900 pts., gas is as cheap as it has been in a long time ($1.95) and the Oklahoma City Thunder kick off their inaugural season tonight.
The Real Silver Lining: God is Good… All The Time! Praying…
