For those of you who have been keeping up on the situation with dickday's computer, he finally called just a few minutes ago. He will accept the computer with more gratitude than he is able to express. As it stands...
I am writing from Michelle Bachmann's "Real America," and if this is "REAL America" count me out!Normally I live in suberbia, but we have a 2nd home in the mountains, and that is where I am at the moment. We...
I suppose I'm not the only one to notice that DD (or Arthur, as I lovingly refer to him) hasn't been here for a couple of days...Would it be inappropriate to say that a day without dick is like a...
Over in ProfB's post a day or so ago, a discussion was started about the merits/problems with labels such as conservative, progressive, etc. and the two party system.The discussion got me to thinking about how we got to where we...
Ran across an article in Rollingstone that gives an interesting perspective on AIGs role in this mess. It is a little lengthy, but funny and disturbing and should be a "must read" for all taxpayers. I apologize in advance for the...
Let's face it...this country is in a mess. No, not "a" mess, a bunch of messes. In fact, it IS a mess. There are so many things that are screwed up it would keep you up at night every night...
At risk of being a "too frequent" poster, ran across this and couldn't help but bring it to your attention, just in case you've missed it.Apparently there is some question about whether or not Rick Santelli's rant was as random...
There have been a few posts lately about the potential for some some huge changes in our country with the election of President Obama and the horrific downturn in the economy. Most people are scared, and I think there is...
Economics is not my strong suit, but it is my husband's, and some of his knowledge has rubbed off on me. So during this financial crisis I have understood enough of what was going on to have a semi intelligent...
Well, to watch the financial shows today, you'd think that president Obama had just declared war on the upper class, by suggesting that the wealthiest 2% of Americans were going to be asked to pay a little more in taxes!...
I resisted confronting that reality. As many of you know, I'm on an extended vacation. I never even considered going without my laptop. I need to stay in touch, I told myself. Week one, no problem. Just me and my...
This is not the America I love. The acrimony, the partisanship, the "I'd rather we destroy the country than see this President be successful" attitude. The America I love is not filled with people who lie cheat and steal to...
I have for some time now been trying to get my arms around how big a trillion dollars is, without much success.John Allen Palous, a noted Temple University Math Professor has simplified it. If you had spent one million dollars...
I am watching Hardball and the question is being asked whether or not Obama's standards are too high, and that's why he is having problems getting his people through the confirmation process...Are you kidding me????His standards are not too high,...
I know...on line dating services....sorta plays into the contention by one unnamed person that the new demographics here are older, female and, from the Midwest, so the content is getting to be a little irrelevant, but since many of...
Why is it that so many people with more money than God have a seeming inability to pay their fair share of taxes? It's almost as if when your bank balance reaches a certain level, the integrity portion of your...
This has been an absolutely awesome day.I feel sorry for the people who couldn't share in the joy and the pride that we supporters have been able to. The Inauguration was inspiring. Imagine...Barack Hussein Obama is our new President. He...
I'd been contemplating a blog about Hawaii, when I came upon an article in the Washington Post that says it better than I could.I have read criticism about the time our PE is spending in Hawaii, rather than getting down...
Preface: This post was started as a comment made on another blog. At Orlando's suggestion (with a cosign from Miguel and TheraP) I am making it into it's own post. For those of you are unaware of my journey...
Since we're in the mode of thinking BIG, and spending more magic money than will be repaid in a couple of generations, how's this for an idea?What if, instead of concentrating so much on creating new jobs, we decrease the...
