(1) Prez hopeful Romney is finally going to address the ISSUE at hand!

Trying to save his presidential campaign from an Iowa swoon, Republican Mitt Romney on Thursday will take on the issue of his Mormon faith by stressing America’s tradition of religious tolerance.

Romney is to make remarks at the presidential library of former President George H.W. Bush in College Station, Texas, not far up the road from Houston, where Democratic candidate John Kennedy in 1960 used a speech to ease concerns about his Catholic faith and went on to win the presidency.

I love how everyone is so quick to compare him to Kennedy on the religion issue and obviously his PR team is doing some great work by having him give this speech in Texas, at a presidential library to boot. But here is what I don’t understand, the complete disregard (on the side of the media) to weigh in on differences between Catholicism and Mormonism. The first one being that Catholicism is a VERY, VERY old religion and well Mormonism hasn’t even hit its second centennial (is there a better way to write that?)

I’ll be looking into that news story tomorrow!

(2) What is going on with beauty pageants?

Miss LA gets told she ain’t Miss California THEN has to call the actual winner and tell her. 

And then the whole pepper spray incident… 

Maybe this is the universe’s way of telling us that there is more to life than winning beauty contests. I am so a feminist!
