Change the channel please

My partner and I wake up every morning to music or the radio, the music is on my side, the radio is on her side. The past couple of days her radio has been tuned to C-Span radio. It's not a good thing first thing in the morning. Lately the discussion has been centered around the Supreme Court nominee. We both get so irritated by debate about whether it's a good idea to have someone on the court who wears their religious beliefs on their sleeves. Our president does and I'm afraid Ms. Meirs is the same way. This is America and we live here because we're free to be who we are and live as we choose. I'm just wondering if anyone in the White House or Congress has read the words that are enshrined around the walls of the Capitol, words from our founding fathers. If you ever have the chance, it's interesting reading. I'm changing the channel now so our blood pressure doesn't go up any more.

In our weekly sales meeting yesterday, the discussion focused on the changing market and how we should deal with it. What does a changing market mean for you if you're buying or selling a home? What is a changing market? Basically what it means is there will be more houses available so if you're selling you don't want to price your home too aggressively (overprice) and if you're buying, you have more to choose from (a greater supply). Whether buying or selling, this is still a good time and a good market, however. And the market isn't changing that much.

Saw a really good movie over the weekend, In Her Shoes. Funny and sad but likeable characters. Movies suck these days so it's nice when one comes along that you can enjoy. It starts this weekend so go see it.
Enjoy your day.

    While I agree that it is unseemly for a politician to "wear their religion on their sleeve," they should not have to hide their religious beliefs. It is quite common for individuals to wear a cross or crucifix on a chain, or other identifiers of religious persuation. Because someone is elected to public office should not mean they have to become closeted Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists, whatever - as gay people who have fought to come out of the closet, we should support everyone's right to express who they are.

    I'm curious that you're claiming Ms. Miers wears her religion on her sleeve, when you point out it is OTHERS who are talking, not her. Lets be fair.
