Week 23

We are at 23 weeks. Only 17 short weeks to go, then we'll have a baby! At this point it is still not entirely real. I think Carrie would say different, but with the exception of feeling a couple kicks and tip-toeing through an emotional minefield, not much has changed for me.

Rants:

I was advised to bring back more anger to the blog. So many targets so little motivation to type. I've got strong (and correct) opinions on so many things. Maybe I'll scatter shoot them:

1. A fan was kicked out of Yankee stadium for not being respectful during God Bless America.
2. Miss USA has been criticized for vocalizing her opinion on gay marriage.
3. Texas can secede.

#1 The rule at Yankee Stadium is that you stand respectfully and don't mill about during God Bless America. If you don't like the rules, don't pay to go to the game. I'm ignoring the flag waving American defense, and I'm ignoring the freedom of speech angle too. What is wrong with following the rules, or paying the consequences? If you break rules, expect punishment. There are millions of things that you are not allowed to do in Yankee Stadium. You can't smoke. If you smoke, you might get kicked out. You can't wear a giant Indian headdress, or you might get kicked out. You have to be respectful during God Bless America or you get kicked out! Quit acting like an idiot. Besides, the Yankees suck.

#2 How can someone's opinion be wrong? It's an opinion! She was asked what she thought of gay marriage and she gets criticized. That's just dumb! I am pretty sure the gay rights folks are big on open mindedness. To call someone names for answering a question honestly is about as close minded as you can get! Those silly gays need to be more accepting of other viewpoints!

#3 Kinda fun to think about, but this is dumb. I'm proud to be an American.
