So, I've got a blog . . . Now what?

Everyone seems to be jumping on the blog bandwagon so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Haven't really got a clue what I'm going to talk about, but that's never really stopped me from saying something, so . . .

Oh, for the love of god! This woman (Senator Leticia Van de Putte: District 26) aught to be taken out and shot. Of all the useless, wasted, dumbass things that could be proposed into law, this one has got to take the cake . . . excuse me, this one takes the breast.

That is just sooooo unbelievable! That cannot be the biggest worry that the State of Texas has at the moment, can it?

Well, of course it is. Don't you know that all the women of child bearing years in Texas have given up breast feeding their children because they saw adverts for formula in their doctors' offices? It's a rampant conspiracy to keep women from staying barefoot and pregnant and it needs to be stamped out!

(It is so unfortunate I cannot write as sarcastically as I can speak. If you could only hear the way that sounded in my head as I wrote it . . .)
