I was wondering if I should write Mr. Gore a letter about HIS global warming ideas.  I guess I just want to tell him how I'm freezing  here in Florida.   I've been drinking hot tea and warm cocoa for days now.  I'm wearing flannels, socks and heavy coats down here.   As I'm writing this, it's 34 degrees and it's been this cold for days now.  I ran four miles last night in 44 degree weather and my bare legs felt like ice cubes.  We haven't seen 60...

There's a very well kept secret going around.  I haven't heard anything in the media.  I've been talking to people who might know about such things but am finding out they know nothing.  The funny thing is there is lots of documentation on this and it's been going on for years.  What am I talking about?  International accounting system.  Another name for this would be a One World Financial System.  It's in the works for our country to jump on board in 201...

I've just returned from Ohio where I was, for the most part, pretty news deprived.  I saw news bits here and there but taking care of two toddlers pretty much stole most of my time.  Anyhow one piece of news I couldn't miss was the Tiger Woods cheating scandal.  My first thought was how tragic because he seemed like such a great role model not only for everyone in and around the sports world but especially the black population because it's well known there are not alot of ...

Reverse discrimination. Why is one way bad to discriminate and the other good?  For example... My son was speaking to one of his bosses at the newspaper this week.  The boss was told by the higher ups in the company that the next hire HAS TO BE either an African American or a woman.  He has a sports writing position open but can only hire either a black person or a female.  He asked my son "do you know how hard it is to find a woman journalist that wants to ...

Much has been in the news lately about the Balloon Boy and the antics of his father playing a hoax on the world all for his own glory.  Hoaxes have been around as long as man has.  Lately in the news also has been what could be a very old hoax recently debunked.   You be the judge.  What do you think?  I grew up hearing about the supposed miracle surrounding the Shroud of Turin.  I had no idea at the time, as a child, that it had Roman Catholic ori...

People don't like to lose.  I get that.  I'm not that great at it either.  But com'on there comes a time you just have to move on and accept that the people have voted.   I hate the fact that there are five states right now that have legalized homosexual marriage without the people's vote.  I think that's much worse than what just went on in Maine last week.  At least there, the voices of the people  were heard and their hard work recognized.&nb...

My home state of Maine is once again going to the polls tomorrow to vote on yet another homosexual issue.  This time it's on whether or not homosexual marriage should be legalized.  So far every state that puts this to a vote brings another loss to the homosexual movement.  Not one state to date has had an affirmation by popular vote for homosexual marriage.     I know we hear and get caught up in some very emotional reasons as to why we ...

There seems to be alot of controversy about this H1N1 vaccine.  I'm hearing alot of contradictary statements about this.  Some say it's going to become mandatory while others say there's no way they can make it so.  On one hand they say they'll have plenty of vaccines and then they say on the other that they are  quickly running out.  I've also heard that the swine flue is actually dying out and then I heard whole schools are being infected by it. ...

Did you hear about the latest on the news today?  It's about a Mom who watches the neighbors' kids at the bus stop for the other moms.  She got a letter from the State advising her to stop because it was akin to working in an unlicensed daycare and since she was not licensed by the state she was ordered to stop watching the neighborhood kids.  If it rains she was told to leave them outside and have their parents give their kids an umbrella.  Ridiculous! &nbs...

Months ago I was told that on September 25th our country was going to celebrate the first National Muslim Day of Prayer.  I thought surely this must be a hoax and just a negative reaction to those opposing the President's Muslim heritage.  Well it seems as though it may be true after all.   I was just informed that my daughter-in-law's mom, who is a teacher has that day off from school as a national holiday.  A Muslim National Holiday here in our country?&nbs...

This is totally obscene in more ways than one.   This just totally infuriates me.   Hello???   Anyone listening?  This is an example of our tax dollars...certainly NOT working for us.  Check out this link and see...exactly who is getting stimulated with our hard earned tax dollars?  Disgusting!    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/31/congress-blasts-obscene-programs-funded-nea-stimulus-grants/

I've been hearing alot about hate crimes and I just don't get it.  What defines a crime as hateful?  Isn't all crime a crime of hatred?  I mean there isn't any love involved when one commits a crime against another.  I just got back from vacation and per usual had to sift thru a ton of emails.  I came across one that struck me as just totally horrific and wondered, as a news junkie, why I never heard about this.  Is it because the victims were just average&n...

So what do you think about the Cambridge fiasco? Was this way overblown or what?  How about Obama's reaction?  Did you think his comments last night were divisive?   Should he have commented at all?  Some say he made a huge blunder in his getting involved, especially since he didn't have all the facts.  By now everyone's heard the story about Professor Gates who was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting an officer who was called t...

Hope everyone out there has a happy, safe and relaxing July 4th as we celebrate our Nation's 233rd birthday together.  Happy Birthday America!    "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." — Closing line of the Declaration of Independence
