So, I’m watching CNN today as I am eating my banana and morning coffee. CNN is always on around here, because we have to have a source of video and audio to test with at any moment.<\/p>\n
I think we watch CNN because we can’t seem like we’re having fun. CNN is boring, and when it’s not boring it’s horrifying. I half-seriously suggested we chip in our own money and get Animal Planet, because at least that is cheerful. Or maybe Home and Garden TV! We could decoupage the desks.<\/p>\n
the suggestion was not recieved well.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this morning, I was watching the recap of the sex scandal and then some blonde woman got up and was doing a press conference. I made a snarky comment “I guess Miss New Hampshire has to do something afterwards…”<\/p>\n
I looked again and decided she was too skinny. “No, she’s the runner up.”<\/p>\n
My co-worker said, “I thought they all became trophy wives.”<\/p>\n
“NO! They all get together and form a coalition to start world peace.”<\/p>\n
He gave me a look.<\/p>\n
But the woman on the screen had started to interest me. She was not taking any garbage from the reporters.<\/p>\n
I had to google her: Fran Townsend<\/a>.<\/p>\n It turns out she rocks. She is in charge of the council on homeland security. And she deserves it! She had to work her way through school, and became a lawyer and then an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn and the got into Intelligence work for the Coast Gaurd. I added things up and figured out that she’s only 46!<\/p>\n How impressive. Then I went to wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Wait no…That’s her maiden name. Her dad was Greek.”<\/p>\n So you know what else? She Orthodox like me! I love this lady.<\/p>\n So I looked up at the screen again and watched her in action. I couldn’t really hear what she was saying, but I could see she was in control of the room.<\/p>\n And then I saw it. She had not one, not two, but THREE earrings dangling from her ear! Oh yes, she did live through the 80s.<\/p>\n I’m a fan now. I hope she goes far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I’m watching CNN today as I am eating my banana and morning coffee.
