Has "The Office" Jumped the Shark?

Is it just me, or has this show gotten seriously not funny? I just watched last week's episode and it was just so bad, I am strongly considering removing the series from my DVR record list. The only thing mildly funny about last week's show was mouth catching cheeseballs. However, this episode was easily the worst show they have ever done. And they have been getting steadily worse all season. Is it me or is it them? It's them, right?

I was a huge fan of this show, but the story line of Michael quitting and running his own company is horrible. They seemed to have totally given up on making the story anywhere near believable. I am hoping next season, Jim will wake up and it will all have been a bad dream. They need to do something. It is not good.

Should the Bush Administration Be Prosecuted for Torture Policy?

With the declassification of Central Intelligence Agency memos on the torture policies of the previous administration, there is more and more call for the prosecution of those responsible for the placement of that policy. Should we not look back and forget that the U.S. Government implemented a policy that broke international law? Hell no!

President Obama should signal to the world that what was done under the Bush criminal administration was wrong and that is not what this country is about. The damage that was done to this country's reputation by the photos from Abu Ghraib prison was tremendous. And that, apparently, was just the tip of the iceberg. Knowing what was done in the name of keeping me safe made me ashamed to being an American. The people that said it was OK should know they were wrong. They should, at a minimum, be made to stand before a judge and explain themselves. I love my country and I don't want anyone thinking what these criminals did was acceptable.

This will show the world that the United States owns up to its mistakes. It will also show the world plainly, this is no longer how we operate. Thankfully, the thugs are out. We can only move on knowing the full truth and that there are consequences to breaking the law.

A Storm Is Gathering! Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

There was a storm gathering over the Potomac this morning. . . And I
was scared. There are hateful, bigoted or just plain ignorant people
that believe their imaginary friend, God, doesn't like the horrible
sin of loving someone of the same sex. They think it is OK to not
give these people the same rights as they have because it will change
the definition of a word. Dictionaries will gave to be changed, and
that is cumbersome.

There's a storm gathering and many people may get wet. The wind will
blow. The sky darkens. Baby Jesus cries. His followers don't get
that love thing he was all about. What if Jesus were a gay? He'd be
pissed. He'd want equal rights with all the sinners.

Maybe these deeply religious people should go to a storm shelter . . .
A deep hole in the ground and wait for the storm to pass. It looks
like a lenthy storm -- maybe several years. We'll let you know when
the storm passes. Take lots I'd supplies and you'll be fine. We'll
let you know when the blow is over.
