What Do You Think?

I know – it’s not any of my business, and whatever grown people decide to do is their decision as long as they take responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.  That doesn’t stop people from being curious, or from discussing something that makes the headlines, so……  What do you think about the California couple [...]

I NEED a Vacation!

How dumb is this?  We usually have to “dress” for work – skirts or suits for women, suits and ties for the men.  Once in a great while, we “get” to wear jeans in exchange for a small contribution to a charity (denim days). 
Today was a denim day.  I had notice of the upcoming freedom [...]

Football People

You know how there is a definite difference between “cat” people and “dog” people? I am firmly convinced that there is also a definite difference between “baseball” people and “football” people. [There may be a difference between “basketball” and “hockey” people, too, but I’m just focusing on the first two for now.] Please note that [...]

UPDATE: Horse Manure

My youngest brother sent this to me this morning on the subject of global warming and the projections being made about the “dire consequences” of not going green.  Read it for yourself and take it for whatever you think it is worth. 
My own personal opinion on global warming is that it is, as my post [...]

THIS is what I’m talking about!

I LOVED this quote from Bobby Eberle’s column this morning:
“Whether it’s Obama, your typical liberal Democrat, or the so-called ‘moderate’ Republican, they are all saying the same thing, ‘The country is in big trouble, and we need massive government involvement to get us out. Oh, right… we don’t have the money for the plan, so [...]

Here We Go

Not that I’m surprised, but it looks like the new President’s promise of a more “bipartisan” government will be the first casualty of his administration. 
Apparently, when Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) objected to the president’s proposal to increase benefits for low-income workers who don’t owe federal income taxes, His Royal Petulance (HRP) responded, “I won. I will trump [...]

Any Advice?

Not that I intend to make a habit of political stuff – it’s kind of in my DNA, but I try for balance – but the next several (OK, 98 ) days will bear watching. 
More than one columnist is saying that we should watch our pocketbooks:  
“Ronald Reagan cut taxes to raise the deficit to stop liberals [...]

Take Heart

Yesterday being not such a great day, I started looking for some encouragement.  I found this in today’s Streams in the Desert (online version):
God is Not Unobservant
“I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling place” (Isa. 18:4, RV).
Assyria was marching against Ethiopia, the people of which are described as tall and smooth. [...]

Oh, No.

I know it’s a bad sign when I have to cite to Pat Buchanan, but I think the dude got it right.  At least partly. 
The thing is, I disagree with him that the problem is a “party” problem.  I think the real problem with his premise about the demise of the Republican party is not that [...]

I’m Not The Only One Who Thinks So

Not that I believe that my previous post on character prompted it, but …
This article was in a national newsletter today.  
I must be on the cutting edge of political thought.
