So What Else Is New?

It certainly hasn't been a dramatic week in the news, considering what we've experienced thus far this year with weather-related disasters, Menz of Power chasing some kind of tail - whether it be their own in a frenzy to get out of lawsuits or to save a marriage.

The GOP seems to be paring down its contender landscape with the collective Tea Party sigh of "Please, don't let it be Romney!" wafting throughout the countryside. Herman Cain, the Man of the Hour, won't last for a few more weeks after both the anti-Cain's in the GOP and the Democrat's tear apart his radical 9-9-9 plan, and Rick Perry - well, it's just a sorry sight to see that man jump up to a podium with all the pride of Texas busting through his well-toned chest only to find himself once more unable to finish a sentence with any clarity.

So, the relatively calm news week works in unison with the relatively calm and sane steadiness of Mitt Romney as the only possible GOP candidate to stand next to Mr. Obama next year and duel it out in their civilized manner. Two gentlemen in a duel means no bloodshed, and what will inevitably end up to be the toss of the white glove rather than a musket shot to the head. No one will lay bleeding on the grounds when Mitt and Barack face off. The most heat we may see is when both are out on the campaign trails next summer in shirtsleeves looking all glossy and slightly dampened by the humidity.

Not much to rag on in celebrity-land this week, either. Just the usual baby-obsessed news of the currently preggers or recent deliveries, and the never-ending focus on Jennifer Aniston and her womb's condition. Poor woman has found herself on the receiving end of more pregnancy speculation over the years than a serial-surrogate.

Oh, of course, there is some news slipping out of the House today. Yet another bill has passed that messy Chamber of Whore-er's that will take away a woman's right to have an abortion. The on-going battle of who controls a woman's body - the government or herself? And, as always, a side-eye goes to the hypocrites in the GOP who want less government but will do anything they can to get into our bedrooms and, if a woman, our very own wombs.

IN FACT, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH ALL OF THESE MEN IN CONGRESS FOCUSING SO MUCH ON THE WOMBS OF WOMEN OTHER THAN THEIR WIVES?

Oh, forget I wrote that.
