Rosie blogs about Jennifer Hudson tragedy; no word on Prop. 8...

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,rosie28.jpgJust finished checking Rosie O'Donnell's Rosie.com blog and find it kind of mind-boggling that she is writing about "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and old Reese Witherspoon movies and not a word about Proposition 8. I am curious about why Rosie, always so outspoken, has been so out of the picture.

But one important thing that her blog post does include is this: "The family tragedy of Jennifer Hudson -- no words will do -- a grief 2 hard 2 comprehend," Rosie writes.

She then goes on to write about gun violence ending with a bunch of statistics that you will have to go to her site to see. Here is an excerpt:

"Guns and domestic violence are a lethal combination -- injuring and killing women every day in the United States," she continues. "A gun is the weapon most commonly used in domestic homicides. In fact, more than three times as many women are murdered by guns used by their husbands or intimate acquaintances than are killed by strangers' guns, knives or other weapons combined. Contrary to many public perceptions, many women who are murdered are killed not by strangers but by men they know."

Now what about the fight for equal rights in California Rosie? Any thoughts? Maybe we'll hear from her after the election because, as she writes, "i am trying to stay away from the news as we near the finish line ... the noise distracts me i believe."

Oh, brother.

Rosie is keeping quite because she has a new show coming up on NBC. Rosie speaks out when it works in her favor and no other time. At one time this woman could have been a great spokesperson for the gay and lesbian community. Thank goodness we now have Ellen.
