Saturdays

I love Saturdays. I do not have to go anywhere or do anything. I can sit around and read or play video games or watch old movies. I actually have 5 days off and I really have no plans. After being busy all the time it is a bit disconcerting to have no schedule or responsibilities.

I noticed this week that the Congress, in its infinite wit and wisdom, felt that the issue of flag burning was the most important use of their time. What year is this? Is this such a serious problem that they have to try to pass a constitutional amendment about it? It is just a flag...it is not the actual piece of material that counts but the sentiments that it represents. If it had passed, would I have to stop wearing my Old Glory panties??? Do the Republicans not realize that we can see through this smokescreen of crap that they have been using? Along with a ban on gay marriage, this is just another in a long line of diversionary tactics they have used to deflect the attention of the American people from the crap they really are and are not doing....like ending a war started under false pretenses and holding a president accountable for his actions.
