This morning, as I surfed the net, getting caught up on the goings on in the U.S of A, I came across an article asking 10 Random Questions about the current top news stories.  The article was thought-provoking so I decided to re-print five of the questions and see what your responses/opinions are to the questions.  Here goes:

1.  Can someone explain to me why women (especially Black women) think that supporting Palin will in any way further the cause of women?

Commentary:  “This woman is Ultra-Conservative (including being anti-Roe v. Wade) and if she had her druthers, would roll back the accomplishments of women in this nation over the past century. She can see Russia from her front yard and I can see the devil when she speaks.”

2.  Why is the media constantly comparing Hurricane Ike to Katrina to downplay the death and destruction?

3.  Are we supposed to be dancing in the streets now that gas prices have begun to come down?

4.  Why does anyone care about that fool OJ Simpson?

Commentary:  “This loony senior citizen was foolish enough to think he could posse up and gangster somebody—hell he deserves to go to jail. I’m just tired of seeing his ignorant ass anyway. He still doesn’t understand that he’s on trial for chasing white girls. The court of public opinion has found him guilty and would love to see him jail.”

5.  Why the hell are we propping up Welfare Queens?

Commentary:  “Ha! I’m sure you thought I meant women on Welfare, when I was actually talking about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While both institutions were initially launched by the US Government, both eventually became privatized. Now that they are failing, the government is bailing them out. Of course, we can all come up with reasons why they absolutely must be salvaged, but the reality is that goofy people talk poorly about average citizens who need help, yet have no problem with abuse of government funding directed towards military spending or corporate bailouts.  The housing industry, regulators and the media saw the subprime lending scam bring on the housing disaster, but no one did anything to stop it.”

So, tell me, what are your thoughts/responses?  I am especially curious to hear what you have to say about Question 1 as it relates to Governor Palin.
