In entertainment and miscellaneous news, we have a new Miss America. And the winner is... Miss Virginia, Caressa Cameron! Yes, folks, I actually watched the pageant last night. Ms. Cameron, whom I was rooting for all the way, beat out 52 other contestants to become Miss America 2010. The whole viewing experience was quite interesting, to say the least. For starters, viewers and other contestants picked semifinalists. Also, a few of the judges, uh, made me question whether the pageant, which is now broadcast on The Learning Channel (TLC) as opposed to the networks, has really progressed. Regardless of what changes have been made to the pageant over the years, I still think it has a bit of a conservative bias. For example, Rush Limbaugh was one of the judges. WTF?! Another judge was Miss America 1989, Gretchen Carlson, who now hosts (gasp!) Fox and Friends. Can I be perfectly honest? I really can't stand that woman. That Daily Show blurb was pretty dead-on. I can never forgive Carlson for the way she treated Ted Kennedy on her show. Sympathetic to terrorists my liberal ass!
Okay, that brings me to yet another political discussion. I'm still reeling over the Repubs' reaction to President Obama's (love that man!) State of the Union address. I'm sorry, but Republicans are really pissing me off right now. Our president is doing the best he can, so we have to work with him. I simply can't reiterate that enough, people. He said he doesn't quit, and he won't. Actually, I've developed a rather unusual perspective on all this: the fact that President Obama is so controversial just proves that he's a great man. Also in politics, I'm thoroughly disgusted with John Edwards. I used to think he was one of the good guys. I actually strongly considered supporting Edwards for president before Obama started to gain momentum way, way back in the summer of '07. Oh, well, you just have to take the good with the bad. Anyway, trust me on this, y'all, history will prove the previously espoused "greatness theory" right.
Finally, in Ashleyverse news, I'm still single but actively looking. I know I shouldn't obsess over a silly little thing like singleness and just try to relax and enjoy this milestone birthday (I am feeling really emotional, sensitive, vulnerable, and wanting to be loved today, though). It'll happen for me when it's supposed to. I just need to keep doing what I'm doing, and the rest will take care of itself. Until then, I have to be strong-- a steel magnolia. Like our president, I don't quit, and I (almost!) always get what I want. So, there! (In case y'all haven't noticed, I'm feeling a bit, um, feisty at the ripe old age of 30.)
