Judge Sotomayor

The long awaited nomination to the supreme court by Obama is finally here. Judge Sotomayor. The republicans could not wait to start bashing this one. Rush (BTW is he the republican spokesman?) calls her a reverse racist-whatever that means.

Her critics say she's not the most qualified even in the Hispanic judicial circles. I don't care-is she qualified enough to serve in the supreme court? Yes. Have the 150 plus opinions that she has written support her as a moderate as opposed to a radical? Read Left wing (for the republicans) Yes. Should her credentials be vetted-or course. This is a nomination if confirmed will last beyond Obama's presidency. Vet her yes but do not critisise her for being a woman, a Hispanic or one who supports the rights of the minority. Does being empathic automatically disqualify her? C'mon guys she's human not a robot.

May i remind republicans that her nomination to the district supreme court in NY was by George H.W.Bush so spare us the rhetoric and go ahead and do what we all know you will do-Confirm her for failing to do so will cost you the Latino not to mention the women vote which you so desperately need.

Barca...do me proud!

Bad hair day

Allow me to use the cliche 'bad hair day' cause that is what am going thru'. Don't get me wrong i have the time and money to do my hair but i just don't know what to do. Sometimes it's not as easy as walking into the salon and getting it done. It's not knowing whatto do once you are in there. So to save everyone's time and hoping that you come up with a solution, you go around with hideous hair.

babies...

Recently a good friend had a baby and my maternal instincts kicked in (i did not believe they existed @least not for me) It got me thinking, why all of a sudden? After all she's one among many of my friends to have a baby.

Is there an appropriate age to have a child? They say the risks are higher with delayed motherhood but what if the opportune time to have the lil brats is when am 45 WTF happens then? Do i deny myself the chance at motherhood or do i stride graciously into it understanding full well the risks involved and hoping that all goes well?
