Grey, Ray and Gays

Grey's Anatomy

Episode Two of the new season. Meredith still can't make her mind up between McDreamy and Finn. Poor girl. Life is so tough. Here would be a great plot twist. Taking a cue from Frankenstein, Meredith (who is a surgeon, after all),
takes the best parts of each man and creates one super hot, super sensitive guy. Man, I so should be writing for TV. What else is going on.... Addison is back with Mark, who if you ask me, is ten times hotter than McDreamy. Izzie is making twelve millions muffins as she grieves for Denny. Honey, there aren't enough muffins in the world to make up for the loss of the absolutely hottest guy on the show. Sigh. Why do all the good ones develop blood clots and die after transplant surgery?

Jeopardy

After Wednesday's show, I was dying to find out who would go up against Eric. My personal prediction, after rehearsing with all the other contestants, was that Ray would be the one to beat Eric. And I was right! A shame that wasn't a question on MY show. But Eric went down fighting. Again, some rather freaky categories, but all three contestants did well! Way to go, guys!

AND FINALLY...

Gays

Or more specifically, how far away political commercials are from talking about the issues and promoting the candidate paying for the ads. First, the only ads I saw during the primary focused on gay marriage and pro-life. In a state with a high unemployment rate and an educational crisis, all we're worried about are gay people getting married? Hey, the right should welcome gay marriage with open arms. Gay people don't need abortions. Two birds, one stone.

And now that we're actually into the heat of the campaign commercials... if you're paying $10,000 dollars for a tv spot to get yourself elected, don't you think you might want to oh, say, talk about YOURSELF? When I send out a resume, I don't fill the page with the inadequacies of the other people applying for the job. I make myself look good... noting my accomplishments and experience. What a novel idea it would be if politicians used the same method to get themselves elected! With all the laws that the FCC has to oversee political advertising, they should add one that forces a candidate to spend at least two-thirds of their spot speaking about their record/experience/plans for the future.

If you want to find out where the candidates actually stand on the issues and not just what they think of their opponents, Google your state/region. There are websites out there to help you make the choices that are right for you.



THE SUPREME WISDOM OF THE QUEENOSHEBA

In a scary world that gets scarier everyday, if you can find someone to love and who loves you, regardless of their sex, race or religion, you're ahead of the game. Gay marriage is not the death knoll of family values. It is a reaffirmation of what being a family is all about.
