Au revoir

I’m done for now. Had enough. Not interested in the world, in it’s steady march to destruction. I think I’ll quilt, or maybe play video games or visit the grandchildren. There has to be more to life than the constant barrage of hate and discontent that spews from the politically aware on both sides of [...]

Republicans Will Cripple America????????????

Republicans, the one’s shut out of the decision making process for the last 6 years (up until January of this year 2011) are going to CRIPPLE America.  Really? That’s where this president wants to go now. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (8.9 percent), [...]

Trouble in Perrydise

(I’d like to note that there are no ad hominem attacks here.  I might not care for the Governor but those kinds of sentiments just negate one’s argument not buttress it, and the Daily Kos this is not) Governor Perry  can’t turn things around on his record. 80% of the jobs created in Texas went [...]

The internet as cultural Apocalypse ?

I am the first one to admit our culture is coarsening. But that the internet is the main, first source seems to have come quite late to the party. Our culture has become coarsened because there is no adherence to societal mores, there are no “manners” any more, no rules of good behavior. Until the [...]

How Soon We Forget……

According to Bloomberg online, Hilary Clinton is now the most popular politician in the US.  Two thirds of the country have a favorable view of her, while one third thinks that we would have been better off with her as president.  While I’m pretty sure a lobotomized amoeba would be a better president, I’m not [...]

Welcome to my nightmare

As I watch the Republican debates, I realize that we are on the brink of a crazy person running our nation. I sit in front of the television and shudder at the thought of one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country.-  James Carville Apparently Mr. Carville is panicked.  [...]

Surprise, surprise, surprise………

From  an Ann Althouse post but found in the comments.  I don’t have access to the report but if this is true (and the prevailing procedure for universities) we might as well grab our collective keisters and kiss them goodbye. CEO: Admissions at UW-Madison Undergraduate and Law school By SAT and class rank: • African [...]

Sept. 11, 2011

As am sure everyone on the planet knows, today is the anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Towers 1& 2 and the Pentagon as well United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed in Pennsylvania.  The television, radio and internet are drowning in memorials, remembrances and documentaries.  All of these have their [...]

The elephant in the living room………..

This morning the “speech that will change the world” has been chewed almost to death.  I personally didn’t watch it.  I can’t watch the presidents speeches and stay sane.  I like my TV and the urge to throw a box of Lincoln Logs through it is sometimes almost overwhelming.  So I watched reruns of the [...]

Hey Maxine………..

Guess what?  Maxine Waters thinks that because there are “roughly three million” blacks out of work the president in his speech should focus on what he’s going to do for “them”. This is typical behavior for the majority of the members of the “Black Caucus” ( wonder what would happen if there was an “evangelical [...]
