ENOUGH ABOUT THE DOG

Let me start off by saying that I, personally, am an animal lover. I have dogs and cats, a bird, turtles, and an aquarium, and, with the exception of the fish, I have a relationship with all of them. I talk to them like people and even respond to their sounds & body language conversationally. [...]

IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER

For the past few weeks, I’ve been noticeably absent from this site. Simply put, I hit a wall. Writer’s Block, perhaps. I won’t deny it, and I won’t apologize for it, but I will explain it. When I started posting, I did so because I had something to say, and with each post, I’ve addressed [...]

THE TOP ELEVEN OF 2011

Last year, we did a “Top Ten of 2010” List highlighting the highs & lows of the Year in Review. Since 2011 is now signing off, let’s go through The Top Eleven! #11 – WEINERGATE: If I’d have limited this to a “Top Ten” list, Anthony’s Weiner would not have made the list, but since [...]

In case you’ve forgotten, Thanksgiving is the deadline for this group of House Representatives and Senators to reach an agreement to [...]

HERMAN CAIN – THE NEXT REAGAN?

The more I’ve been listening to the things that Herman Cain has been saying, the more that I like him. I still have my reservations, of course, but he generally seems to get it. Personal Responsibility, Small Government, Limited Taxes, Greater Liberties, Honest Beliefs: he’s got it all. As we get closer and closer to [...]

THE OBAMA JOBS CAMPAIGN

“You should pass this bill right away.” Seven little words. If there’s anything to be taken from the President’s speech on September 8, 2011, it is this little phrase, and the very clear pressure that it represents. Throughout the President’s speech, the urgency of passing the “American Jobs Act” as quickly as possible has been [...]

PICKING YOUR CANDIDATES – PART 2

“Republicans have to nominate someone better than the person they want to defeat…If they get so adamant that they will only support a candidate that believes everything on their checklist, they will re-elect Obama.” Mike Huckabee was thus quoted in a recent New York Times article regarding the increasingly serious contest between Presidential Hopefuls for [...]
