The Real Housewives of... OMG!

In the last couple of weeks, quite by accident, I caught two or threee episodes of different "housewives" reality television shows. This is where I say (pretend I'm being nasal), "OMG!"

Do these women not know how superficial and greedy they appear to be. I don't know where their abodes are located, but they are not in the real world.

Amazingly, they must have an audience, because new housewives shows keep coming. Could it be that some Americans believe this stuff? Or is America laughing and pointing fingers?

Give me five minutes alone with some of these women, and I'll be happy to tell them what I think of their little worlds. They are bitchy, and they whine. They actually believe in their own false sincerity. I probably still have some cousins in the hills of Tennessee (think Deliverance), and I'm sure they'd welcome these so-called ladies as summer guests.

If my Grandma was alive, it would be perfect. Though she descended from French aristocracy, she embraced being a southen woman with all her heart. She wouldn't even have to be in the hills to teach them about being a real person. She'd keep them in line, too. My grandmother carried a gun in her bra. As a girl, she split her foot with an axe while chopping wood. She tied it up with a rag, and kept on chopping. She also was an amazing horsewoman, and did her share of sharp-shooting. Yet, should she choose, she could out-snob these so-called reality celebrities any day.

I actually lived in Manhattan for four years in my youth. I socialized with the movers and shakers, the rich and famous, and the regular folk as well. How is it that I don't remember living in the New York of Sex In The City, or The Real Housewives of New York?

*Ladies, if you're listening... Nobody with true style, sophistication, and panache would be caught dead watching your shows. I'm pretty sure they'd ostricize you guys, too!

*I use the term ladies very loosely.

My Wishes

I wish Congress couldn't get a pay raise as long as Social Security recipients couldn't get a cost of living increase (COLA).

I wish Congress couldn't get a pay raise until the deficit was zero dollars.

I wish Congress couldn't get a pay raise until our economy was completely perfect.

Today, when the government might shutdown, I wish instead that the rank and file government jobs would not be shut down. And that Congress would work without pay until the budget was properly balanced. This would also help in other ways. Congressional pay could help the government put back some of the money they've stolen from Social Security over the years. The Congress would have incentive to balance the budget. I'm seeing loads of possibilites here!

I wish that Congress did not receive their salaries for life. They need incentive to keep "we the people" happy and healthy.

I wish "Obamacare" was swiftly repealed. It just isn't right to try to fix healthcare by taking money from one group (medicare seniors and medicare disabled) to make it "better" for another group. That's why the healthcare problem hasn't been "fixed" before! Once again... Taking money from Congress would be okay with me!

I wish the media wasn't biased. If only there were a way to FORCE them to be truthful, honest, and UN-biased. I'll have to give this some thought!

I wish I could slap Nancy Pelosi without getting in trouble. (Pipe dream)

I wished all politicians told the truth 100% of the time. Note: I'm not talking about disclosing things we don't need to know. People who think we need to be informed of every litte thing need to grow a brain. If our government "kept us informed", they would also be informing our enemies! We live in the digital age, people!

That's enough of my venting... for now. Stay tuned.
