Rearranging My Sock Drawer

Really it’s a sock shelf, but a few clean pair were added this morning. Just the basics… grey, blue, black and white. It’s also time to rearrange my “blog ideas” file which has inflated with little notes to self that just haven’t grown into full blog posts.

Accountability is severely lacking in our society and is dragging us down. It’s frustrating when no one really seems to be held accountable for the truly serious societal infractions… Lewis “Scooter” Libby receives a “Get out of Jail Free” card from “Dubya,” in spite of Libby’s conviction on 4 felony charges related to the White House cover-up of their disclosure of the then-classified identity of covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame. Oh, and she was outed because her husband contradicted the White House assertion that Iraq had the yet to be found “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” To help quell any public dissent on this lack of accountability, Paris Hilton was sent to jail. Holding people accountable for their behavior is partially intended help prevent similar deeds by others in the future. If government officials are immune from accountability, the system will gradually lose credibility and unravel. Clearly the Chinese don’t want that to happen there.

This article states a man’s favorite female celebrity can reveal the kind of woman he wants. I’ve completed my own exhaustive fantas… uh, study and have determined the composition of my ideal woman through a very scientific method:

• Sophia Loren 27.43%
• Salma Hayek 12.13%
• Jennifer Esposito 15.25%
• Julianne Moore 27.60%
• Margaret Thatcher 17.59%

I’m not surprised at the lack of blond representation in the equation… I’ve dated only one over the years. Actually we were engaged, but brunettes have dominated the list. I know why, but I’ll save that for another time…

This is an amazing picture of the new Copetas boys. Kyle and I visited with them last weekend and it was completely chill. Jeff and Steph are really lucky they have it so easy with twins…

Here’s something to get you thinking…

And another reason why the arts are important.

Finally, and coming back around to accountability, apparently a third of bloggers risk dismissal from their companies for things they’ve written. After a lame post like this, I’d better be careful…
