Lots Going On...

There are those news days when there is a lot happening, but not much to say about any one thing.  So let's take a quick scan of the headlines, shall we?

Violence and unrest in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and other cities, as opposition leaders overthrow the government, leaving "dozens dead".

Although Tea Partiers have been particularly vocal since Congress provided all of their children with health care, at least it hasn't come to blows.  It's good to know that protests in this country are still legal, and still peaceful, apart from the bricks that went through some windows and the threats of violence against members of congress who voted for the bill.  I defend the Tea Partier's right to speak their mind, but they need to dial it back and keep it to dialogue and intelligent discourse, and not take Kyrgyzstan as an example of how to do things.
