Why is Donald Trump being such a jerk? Rosie did make some stupid comments about him on The View...but, why didn't he rise above it all and act like a grown up? This name calling is, quite frankly, embarrassing. Wise up you two, people are watching you! ...And, Donald, what's with the tent set up on the new Apprentice Show? Strange.

Why did the University of Alabama feel that they had to appropriate $4 million dollars to pay Nick Saban to be the new head coach? What are the professors at that University making salary wise? I'm sure that it would be almost laughable to find out. Embarrassing.

I am thinking that all of this "global warming" information that we have been warned about for years is, in actuality, occurring. I haven't had a chance to watch Al Gore's movie documentary yet, but I definitely have it on my to-do list. I want to educate myself about all of the possibilities that are affecting the environment. Winter seems to have been almost non-existent on the Eastern U.S. and the predictions are that 2007 will be the warmest year ever...Disturbing.

The two feel good stories this year about 1) the gentleman that threw himself over the kid on the subway tracks and 2) the two men who were in the right place at the right time and saved the life of a falling toddler were pretty amazing and heroic. Nice way to start 2007 if you ask me. Another blogger asked how each of us would react when faced with a situation like those above. I would like to think that I would be able to step up and do the right thing...but, I had to answer honestly that I felt that I would probably freeze up with fright. But, then, who knows? Uncertain.

Escalating the troop numbers in Iraq? I better not even go there. Craziness.

Stem cell researchers may have found a way to produce these valuable cells from the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby. This would help with the controversial use of the embryonic stem cells and hopefully put that issue to rest. I am praying that further study on this will have successful results. We have something available that could possibly save countless lives lost to disease sometime in the future. Miraculous.

Well, these were things that were all swimming around in my head when I awoke this morning. I am now off to take my walk and hopefully clear some of these out and make room for a whole new day of thoughts...Ah, breathing.

Have a nice one. : )

Regarding Trump, I bet that he knows that if he "rose above it all" his name wouldn't have been in the news as much. Many people think that the only bad publicity is no publicity. Why else would Spears & Lohan have allowed photos to be snatched of them?

Since I'm not going to volunteer to stop driving cars, I don't think I'm entitled to an opinion on Global Warming.

I'm waiting for Science to figure out how to create replacement sexual organs from stem cells... Heck, how about additional sexual organs?
