I haven't updated at all since Saturday, so let's see what's been happening in the Cohen household. Well, Devin is now eating 2 meals a day and has dropped one of his bottle feedings, he's getting very big and very curious about things around him. He's starting to grab everything that is close enough to him, altho he doesn't put everything in his mouth. Alyssa is doing well with school, her reading skills are constantly improving and her handwriting is getting better as well. I wondered if she would have a hard time with writing since she's left handed and writes things opposite of what the teacher would, sometimes she'll try a few times to make a 'd' or a 'b' and just can't figure out why it's coming out the wrong way, she'll get it tho.

I haven't really updated since the last primary in Pennsylvania, and now it seems that Obama is no longer the front runner, there is a good chance that Clinton will be the Democratic nominee. She is leading in support from the Superdelegates which will most likely be the deciding factor in the race. And I gotta say I don't know what kind of friendship there is or was between Obama and his Pastor but this guy is gonna cost Obama the election. I don't know why they are making such a big deal out of this guy, so he's a friend of Obama's and has controversial views, what does that mean? It doesn't reflect Obama's views as far as I'm concerned.  Like Dubya doesn't have some friends who are a bit iffy? He's iffy himself, I can't believe a smart man like Powell ever got wrapped up with him. But anyway, I don't think we can elect someone based on who their friends are...I guess in a way your friends are a reflection of you, but you don't have to agree with everything your friends say, or share their views. If my best friend told me he thinks Dubya is greatest president ever and is doing nothing but good things and that anyone who doesn't think so is unpatriotic I wouldn't stop talking to him, I would just know enough to not bring up politics. Obama says he doesn't even know who this guy is anymore, this isn't the same man that he's known for so many years, and he could be right, the Rev. could be using this opportunity to get him name out there, to be the next Al Sharpton type. All I know is that I wouldn't let something like this change my vote, I'm still happy that I voted for Barack Obama.

Not much else going on around here tho, so I'll update again when something does happen or if something comes around in the news that requires my two cents

We have a new family member in the house, no not another kid....another dog. Now, we don't mean to get these animals but they just appear and how no one wanted this big lug is strange. He is about 2 years old and is a 83lb. black lab, he's a little big about 4 inches taller than what a Lab should be, I measured him and he's 28" at his shoulders! As you'll see from his enormous head we think he's got some Mastiff in him, but he is a true gentle giant, and being raised with big dogs it's good to finally have one in the house. He loves to lay on anyone who will sit with him and he especially likes to lick Devin's feet. So here is Casper the giant Black Lab

(CNN)— With the economic outlook looking dim and the continued war in Iraq, President Bush’s job approval rating hit an all time low Friday, according to a just released poll. The latest Gallup poll shows the president’s approval dropped to 28 percent, the lowest of his eight years in office. The survey, which questioned 1,021 adults between April 6 and 9, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percent, found the decrease came largely because of Democratic and Independent dissatisfaction with his administration. Only 6 percent of Democrats questioned and 24 percent of Independents had a favorable opinion of President Bush, with about two-thirds support coming from Republicans. The new estimate marks one of the lowest approval ratings any president has seen since World War II, with the exception of Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Harry Truman, who all had a mid 20 percent approval rating in their final years in office. The all time lowest presidential approval rating was 22 percent in 1952 during Harry Truman’s final year in office, who like President George W. Bush dealt with problems related to the economy and an unfavorable war. Bush’s approval ratings have hovered around the low 30 percent range since July of 2007. It reached a high of 90 percent in 2001, just days after the September 11 attacks.

So Mr.Obama couldn't pull it out tonight in Pennsylvania, but there are still a few primaries and caucuses to go. I've been asked this question before and now I'm going to answer it. If Clinton wins the primary will I still vote Democrat in the elections? Now, unlike some people who only see D or R, I can and have voted outside of party lines, I voted for and continue to support Gov. Jodi Rell, and altho I don't live in California I do think Arnold is doing a good job. That said I must tell you in this case I cannot cross party lines, a Republican has spent 8 years destroying this country and at this time I cannot support another member of the GOP. If one came around that I could get behind I would, I might have taken Rudy over Hilary but that would depend on his view of Iraq. I still hold faith that Mr.Obama will be the nominee and our next president but if need be I would vote for Hilary.

I love Bill Maher, he tells it like it is and doesn't care what anyone has to say about it. All those people who think the Pope is the next thing to God himself, just know that you are supporting a Nazi pedophile.
Now, he says he's sorry for the whole priest/sex scandal, yeah right your just sorry all of your hypocrite pedophile priests got caught. And the best part is it cannot be denied, it's the one thing that Catholics can't defend, did the Vatican really pardon the Nazi's and give them a free pass and shelter them from the law? Maybe, that is what they say. This is a true thorn in the side of Catholics tho and I love it, you go to church and bow to your sinners and pretend they are close to God, ha, religion and spirit should be an individual thing anytime you get organized religion you are always bordering on a cult, there is no need to be forced into some building to be bored to death by some pedophile to get close to God, anyway I'm getting off base here....here's the video clip of what Mr.Maher had to say about the Pope coming to America
