Virgie Bell's View: Everything they learned was in ... wait; did they go to Kindergarten?

I did listen to the debate of the Republican candidates last night and it came as a surprise to me that we have one that is running that sounds as crazy as Dennis Kucinich. His name is Ron Paul and he blames the US Military bombing in Iraq as the cause for 9/11.Where we come up with these retreads is beyond me. I was really surprised that there are so many running on the Republican ticket, many of whom were completely unknown to me. Ron Paul is from Texas. I suppose that would be one reason that I had not heard of him. I don't know where District 14 is, but they are welcome to Mr. Paul. I hope he returns safely home to stay very soon. We certainly don't need him running on the Republican ticket. He sounds more like one who would fit within the Democratic Party. I was also surprised to find that one out of every three Democrats believe President Bush had something to do with the planes crashing into the World Trade Center. Sure, and Rosie O’Donnell is a slim, trim, intelligent, and very informed person with a much unbiased opinion. Blah...

I have won ten dollars from Gary and ten from Jerry when I bet them that the slob we all know as Steve Ramos would not show up for his court arraignment. Gary had breakfast with us this morning, but no money was forthcoming from either of them. I will now start charging them interest on their gambling debt.

I am planning on watching American Idol tonight. I have not watched it at all this season. I really don't care to watch someone who thinks they are talented find out that they are delusional. You could not miss seeing the gal who was all over the net in nude poses, or the guy with all the funny hairstyles. This, dear reader, is fame.... That illusive and much sought after star quality. Beats me, but evidently we will go on forever rewarding those who don't mind looking very foolish to most of us. Pretty soon you can look to these same two for informed opinions on politics and greenhouse gas. But it really is alright because they are just about as informed as the ones that carry the Oscars home. Al Gore and Michael Moore come to mind. At least Al Gore looks as if he had a bath; Michael Moore doesn't look as if grooming was ever a part of his education. Sheryl Crow needs to talk to him and try to get him into the one sheet deal. You have got to start somewhere. Forget washing the hands for a while. Just the basics with Moore. Potty training is the first lesson. The second lesson you teach by washing his mouth out with soap. It will take a lot of soap.

I will apologize that we have Ron Paul running as a Republican candidate for President. It kind of takes the starch out of me, if you know what I mean. Oh yes. I did see Elizabeth Edwards in my latest Time Magazine. She came to a very fancy banquet for the very important and influential. She came with a speech all prepared also. Said the only reason that she showed up at all was to represent people like her who have decided to fight on. Her husband was at the table, intent on listening to the latest round for his campaign to get all of the sympathy votes he can squeeze out of her illness. I can't stand him and I just loved him when he ran as John Kerry's running mate. I am a sucker for a family man such as he appeared to be. I sure don't see any children within their lives. It is beginning to look as if the family thing was always a prop and the fame thing was always the real goal. He made his fortune in suing health care givers and hospitals. Yes, a really and truly ambulance chaser. I was always taught that was a dirty word and now we have one running for President of the United States of America. Tell you what, I'll vote for Ron Paul first. SUPPORT THE TROOPS!
