I did finally get to watch Food, Inc. and if you haven't watched it, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Have you been following the Tea Party convention this weekend? I haven't seen much of it but the little I have seen on CNN podcasts does not impress me. Like other political conventions I see no solid ideas and lots of finger-pointing and name calling. Nothing revolutionary there. Give me something I can stand behind, a tangible plan. A blanket "tax cut and fiscal responsibility" statement isn't measurable. Let me see some actual numbers and data. How will schools be funded and our country be defended if you shut down the Education and Defense departments? How will the roads get paved with no DoT?

And, just out of curiosity oh Tea Partiers - where were those cute little $90 tea bag necklaces made?

I think I fall into the camp of Americans that are frustrated and really don't know where to turn or what to do. There are so many worthy causes I'd like to champion that I stand still and do nothing. I don't know WHAT to do.

Now for my own fiscal responsibility - I think I'm going to do my taxes today.

Til next time!

Hugs,
