While attemping to watch the evening news, I was subjected to ELEVEN political ads. One was shown twice in one commercial break, with an ad for her opponent in between. These people are running for Congress in a different district than the one that I live in. They are arguing over whether Darcy Burner’s computer science [...]

Our bail out dollars are hard at work, saving the economy! I am so glad that my tax dollars are helping the insurance industry executives relax away their cares with luxury spa treatments. AIG executives took a $440,000 retreat in a luxury spa. The House Government Oversight Committee showed copies of invoices showing that [...]

Gas prices are painful. They have limited me but not as much as Sean Diddy Combs. Gas prices cut into my food budget and other expenses. No summer road trips this year. I consider myself lucky though that I am not pawning grandma’s ring to get gas money. My sacrifices, and those of my community pale in [...]

Black dogs, particularly big black dogs (BBDs) are the least adoptable at animal shelters, sparking concern with the Humane Society & Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Reasons include visibility, mythology, stigmas attached to some breeds and folklore. Since they stay in the shelters the longest, these black dogs are much more likely [...]

Surprise, surprise, once again Bush has decided to disregard decency and common sense in favor of his all consuming war on terror. Once again, I am blogging about man’s inhumanity to man. Terrorists kill people that is a fact and cause great destruction. It sure would be nice to do something to stop this atrocity [...]

Yesterday the March event at Pyramid Ale did not disappoint on the great prices. WABL members got two of their speciality brews for FREE! The two specials was [...]

I am not fond of “McMansions”. I do worry about the resources that it takes to build, maintain and heat these houses that have a ridiculous large amount of space. That being said, destroying them is even a bigger waste and impact on the environment. Unfortunately, that was the tact that the Earth Liberation Front [...]

The subtitle to this post should be the power of Angie’s List. A flooring subcontractor was late to scheduled appointments, didn’t complete the job in one day as promised and then tore the linoleum. I didn’t notice the tear until he had left and had to call him back. He did not return when scheduled [...]

Although I dread to give the Westboro Baptists more publicity, this quote “However, if the members of Westboro Baptist get to speak their minds, every individual who feels that this is an affront to most basic standards of human ethics should be able to as well” gave me permission to speak MY mind. This radical [...]

but the real winner is the voters that participated in the political process
Once again, the people have spoken. They ignored the political pundits, ignored all of the polls that told them who they would vote for, and went their own merry way. This rant isn’t about who won or who didn’t; it is about the [...]
