Do I really want to go home?

I had the opportunity to watch the news this weekend where CNN was all in tizzy over the Obama girls' new dog, Bo. Yes that ugly FIRST dog. It really looks like a football with fur on legs - something all too easy to kick. Of course, the other question that all of us were waiting to be answered, with baited breath, was which church would the Obama's elect to attend. This is more important than foreign policy, the economy that's in the dumps, our poor health care system, bloated farm subsidies or any other policy. After these superficial stories I really had to ask my self the question, "do I really want to go home to America?" Perhaps I'd rather read the Star (Jamaica's local tabloid) where one of the recent stories was of a mongoose terrorizing a community.
