Sasha's commentary for June 13, 2013: Ridiculousness

If our world is going to hell in a handbasket, well, I'm a wee bit worried.

I admit that not only do I have a crush on a shall-remain nameless beauty queen from out West, I have a crush on a seventeen year old. I'm in a future blog going to discuss the ethics and legality on that one, but Ryan Phillippe and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have it made. 

Now here's where I get to (slightly) bash Miss Upton. Nope, wouldn't date her. She's got nice eyes, but her uncle is a REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN. Politics, not a turn-off. A Republican politician for an uncle? Kind of, especially since there's no room for me in the Grand Old Party. I jokingly say that I'm the Far Left of the GOP. 

I'll be lucky if I have even one child. But being an only child isn't always a bad thing, in fact not much different than having siblings. I hope to one day read Sandler's book and see more of her take on raising an only child. I have a feeling that in developed nations, having only children will become the norm. Raising a child costs over $250,000 over the course of a child's life, so having only one child isn't a bad move.

More deregulation. Over regulation doesn't work, but neither does no regulation. I love how despite the fact that the fact we're getting out of a near depression, Congress is apt to deregulate some more. If I was in Congress, I'd propose to abolish the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and replace it with a stronger organization. It's caused more trouble than it's worth. Let's deregulate more derivatives trading, we'll see how that works out. On some days I feel I should run for Congress just to tick off the rest to body.

A high schooler with autism is America's Carly Fleischmann. Once again, autistic youth are doing unbelievable things.

Salon magazine really likes to bring up Andrew Cuomo, and they have a beef, and an alarming one. The campaign finance reform bill in the state legislature might be a farce. And why is Cuomo palling around with the Koch Brothers. Sure, they might be generous, but at the same time, the brothers are somewhat monsters.
