Today
7 July, 1981:
President Reagan announced he was nominating Arizona Judge Sandra Day O'Connor to become the first female justice on the United States Supreme Court.
Roughly 25 years later, the best female nominee our President can think of is Harriet Miers. Not only does he humiliate that poor woman, but insults women country-wide.
I am going to have to stop reading American news soon because it makes me too sad. Tomorrow, I begin the massive Irish history book that Aine brought for me. Then I can be all up in the Irish news and politics.
Until then, the birthday countdown begins. 23. I always thought I'd be doing... stuff by then.

Let's hear it for Birthdays, American style: cakes, candles, balloons, relatives and loads of presents. And more importantly-hugs and kisses from your mum.
Love You.
You are doing stuff....
One of the best things about being abroad for long periods of time is not being inundated with American news!
I'm surprised it took you this long to "tune out":)
Enjoy it! If you need me, I'll be off getting my "daily dose" of FOXNEWS' BILL O'REILLY!
I can't believe that I'm not on your list of frequently read blogs....this is a blow that will not heal easily
