Are You A Real American?

Boy, was I surprised that I am not.  You know, since I live in Chicago and all and not a small town.  Don’t know what I am talking about?  I didn’t hear the statement that Sarah Palin made at a rally (you know since the libel media is sooooo biased against her), but Jon Stewart sure did.  Check out his thoughts:

Now, the Chicago Tribune did an article several weeks ago (and I’ll link it as soon as I find it) showing that small towns have just as many problems (if not more) than big cities. I personally am sick and tired of hearing how “small town America” is so much better. Let me show you Chicago. Granted, we have our problems too, but we sure don’t act better than anyone else. Wait, can the Olympics even be held here if we aren’t part of “real” America? Like Jon Stewart said, if you are from a big city and die over in Iraq, you aren’t a “real” American.

So if I am no longer a “real” American, do I still have to pay my taxes, since in the Republicans eyes I don’t count? Basically, what I am lead to believe with the way all these Republicans are talking is that unless you are a Republican, I guess you aren’t a “real” American.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

Loving my Sun Times

I blogged recently on Lisa Reviews about how much I can’t stand the Chicago Tribune.  Yes, my favorite paper since I moved down here has made me cancel my subscription.  I know, hard to believe.  I have been through many, many, many changes to the look of the paper.  However, this last one I cannot stand.  It drives me nuts to the point that I swear its giving me acne. I can’t find the sections that I like.  I swear there is less content.  Some of pages look like a blog page which would be fine if I was looking at a blog.  However, I read the newspaper for more content not less.  My husband has always wanted me to subscribe to the Chicago Sun Times, so I finally did.  Today, our first paper came, and I loved it!  Their articles had real content and weren’t just all pictures.  I could easily find what I was looking for.  I only have two complaints.  I am not sure how I am going to share the paper with Bill.  We tend to read it at the same time.  The other problem I see is that I get less coupons.  However, the Chicago Sun Times is a third of the cost of the Tribune, so at least I am saving money there.  If I remember, I’ll just ask my mom to keep her coupons, and I’ll go through them when we go up to Green Bay.
