I am not making this up….
Apparently, the choice to use Facebook or MySpace is a class determination. Yep. Believe it or not, Facebook has a slightly higher “cachet” than MySpace.
According to Danah Boyd, who posted her commentary at an International Communications Association conference this past week, while there are plenty of teenagers who choose to [...]

What If…..?
Posted in Uncategorized on May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I had a “what if” last night that I thought I would share with you. Let me know what you think.
Given that most Americans believe that abortion on demand is wrong, and that it should only be an option if the life of the mother is at stake (or in some cases, in the event of [...]

My letters to my state senators on the nomination of Sotomayor to the Supremes:
“Dear Senator ______:
I am writing to ask you to oppose the nomination of Ms. Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court, knowing full well that what I have to say on the subject will never make any difference in your actions, because it [...]

This was just too funny to not take a picture of it!
I’m sure that whoever typed this intended it for the “inconvenienced” – but I’m unconvinced!
Excellent Article by Mona Charen: Book Review – “Unprotected”
Posted in Uncategorized on May 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just getting back into the swing of things for the shortened holiday week, but I caught up on my reading, and I’ve found a new book I want to read. You can read a review here, but I have to say, for me, this book is vindication.
Here is a quote from the review, which (by [...]
Just A Bit Of Politics Before The Weekend
Posted in Uncategorized on May 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Just a little bit – I’m working on another post that kind of got away from me, and believe me, I’m really trying to control that impulse!
But I couldn’t resist sharing this assessment of differences between Obama’s and Cheney’s comments on national security policy. You can read Jack Kelly’s entire article here, but these two [...]
Pre-Memorial Day Question: Police
Posted in Uncategorized on May 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Here’s a good pre-Memorial Day question: does the heightened presence of police make you feel safer or more spooked?
Reason I ask is that today, on my way to work, I noticed a police car with its lights flashing just sitting on the median. As I got closer, I noticed the sign: Safety Belt Enforcement Zone. [...]
What I Did This Past Weekend

This pretty much says it all. As part of a leadership development class I took last year, I went on a retreat this last weekend (that I actually was supposed to do last year, only I couldn’t go). It was awesome. I missed the first day because of work, but the high ropes [...]
A Little Seltzer Down Your Pants

In case you are too young (or TV deprived) to recognize it, that was the last bit of a line Ted Knight used to say on Mary Tyler Moore as Chuckles the Clown: A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants…..
Anyway, this is my own little digression into frivolity in TV-land. [...]
Just Because

Wonderful quote from Ann Coulter today in her article on Carrie Prejean:
“Christians aren’t people who believe they are without sin; they’re people who know they’re sinners and are awestruck by God’s grace in sending his only Son to take the punishment they deserve.”
Coulter also made the point – which needs to be made again and [...]
