Obama's Nobel Peace Prize-My (Unscripted) Reaction:

It's true! By donating two photos to the innovative Boobiethon project, I've supported breast cancer research. It's simple, it's controversial, and it's effective. I love pushing the envelope for a good cause. :) You can join this cause by contributing photos (like I did), donating money, or both.

I almost needed a straitjacket today. It was one of my husband's eight hour days that morph into a ten, eleven, twelve hour deal--"But, hunny, my right pinky finger is actually that axis-thingy the world spins on! I can't leave yet."--and my rambunctious toddler decided to spend all ten, eleven, twelve hours of said day alternating between tantrums and great wails of despair. I love teething.

"Something happened. Something has gone into the World Trade Center. Oh my god!" the newswoman sobbed, her rational monotone cracking into the foreign squeak of a terrified little girl.

I blank after that, a gray fuzz of pain and fury cloaking my brave new world.

This is a hard life.

Regardless of the specifics, no matter how beautifully it begins, it is. Every military wife reaches this conclusion, this moment, when she realizes just exactly she's gotten herself into. It starts insidiously -- a nagging feeling in your gut, a seemingly inane fight, or that one bad weekend. Then the little things implode. You start hearing a desolate, self-doubting voice in your head mouthing Dr. Phil's or Oprah's gag-worthy "signs of a cheating man," as your in-brain Lucifer points out your problems (and the stagnating stench of a rubbery dinner in the microwave) while you sit alone, waiting, again.

When I was five, a giant mongrel of a dog bit me in the ass and revolutionized my idealistic views on the treatment and petting of cuddly-looking animals: shoot first, ask questions later. (I'm no Steve Irwin.) In all seriousness, though, I freely admit that I'm a huge sissy when it comes to dealing with dangerous animals. I'm terrified that something will get all munch-happy on my poor behind again, or, worse, try to sample to my son.

While the mainstream media ratchets up the pressure on anyone who dares to suggest that President Obama should put rumors to rest by releasing some form of his records to the judges in the various cases against him (depicting said dissidents-"Birthers"- as deranged lunatics), Orly Taitz's claims of a genuine (?) birth certificate from Kenya are largely being ignored. And, although Major Stefan Cook won his original case against the administration, there has been a virtual media blackout about the progress of this or any current cases involving this controversy.

More on why 'Truthers,' 'Birthers,' are both wrong-->>

What's your vote on the latest Kenyan Crisis of the Obama Presidency? Would you follow Major Stefan Fredrick Cook's example and give Barack Hussien Obama the finger?

Maybe you would, but unless you're risking your life and livelihood by doing so, you cannot possibly understand the sacrifice it takes for an Army Major to disobey an order, lawful or otherwise. The Army runs on status quo. It's not democracy-you have to follow orders regardless of their sensibility (even if you are a Major)- unless you intend on living the rest of your life with a black mark on your record that makes a convicted druglord look cuddly next to you. If some bigwig decides that your weekend is no longer your requisite off-duty break and should be spent painting the floor of an office building, you will be spending said weekend painting said floor, so on and so forth, ad nauseum.

and a drive-by tweeter. I would apologize to my lovely tweeps and blog readers about my wayward propensities, and promise to never stray again, but we all know that I'm dirty, low-down, no-good, procrastinator.

It will probably happen again.

Once, long, long ago, there was a silly little soldier who liked to argue about politics, her hair, and whatever else lit the fire under her own personal hot air balloon. She annoyed the piss out of her co-workers, her family, her friends, and even the occasional boyfriend (when she wasn't busy finding a new one). One day, she was bumming around on Google, and stumbled across this novel idea known as the Blog.
