Florida Primary

I know it's late, but I kept putting off blogging in case Anderson decided to blog. I took some time today to go back and read some of the older blog posts, but since they revamped the blog, I couldn't find them. Oh well. I guess if I really, really like one I'll have to save it to my filing cabinet. Has anyone else had trouble navigating the new blog? I was having a heck of a time today, but that's okay. As long as we get a blog every day or so from Anderson I'll be happy.

The Florida primary coverage was okay. I'm not particularly a political junkie so I don't get as excited over these races as some others. One thing I've noticed about politics when scanning the 360 blog, is that you can't please everyone. Some don't like the coverage of Hillary; they feel the contributors (Gloria Borger, Bill Bennett, Amy Holmes etc) are being overly critical of her in favor of Obama. It seems to me Anderson goes out of his way to be fair, but sometimes his guests don't follow the same rules.

I'm surprised more women aren't fighting for Hillary. There are so many instances where women's rights are trod upon. The first situation that comes to mind is health insurance coverage for birth control pills. I don't understand why they can cover Viagra but not the pill. In other words, you can pay to help the man have sex, but not help the woman prevent the pregnancy. No one seems to mention or care that the birth control pill is used for more than just preventing pregnancy and as such, should be covered like any other prescription. I think it would also cut down on the number of abortions. No one likes the idea of aborting and it seems a far better solution to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. I don't think any woman would rather end her pregnancy instead of preventing it. Prevention is less invasive,not as risky, not as expensive, and you are not destroying anything. It is simply preventing a process. You don't need time off from work, you don't have to travel, and you avoid the emotional trauma of an abortion. Maybe a woman president would give more consideration to these types of issues. Funny, no one ever talks about the specifics of this issue. They just argue - pro-choice vs pro-life. Don't even get me started on the labels! Talk about spin!

Now I'll stop my yammering and post some eye candy. To be honest, I never intended to yammer in the first place.

Have a great night
