TEFLON PRESIDENT UNDER FIRE
Officially one-third of the House of Representative committees are investigating the White House (Politico). The IRS is leaning on Tea Party groups. A spokesman for the IRS is on record as lying about it. The Justice Department has admitted that they requested phone records for Justice Department...

THE DUDE ABIDES
Recently, I've been challenging myself to reach some kind of conclusion regarding my agnosticism, brought about by advancing years, personal observations, disappointments, excuse-making. So, I've begun thinking about it again, and I can report that my thinking is not altogether rational. But, after...

AMERICAN BLOGGERS' EMOTIONAL IQ
I owe everyone an apology for my absence. My focus has improved since I stopped taking Ambien. So, I'm back (again). Thinking about where we are as a nation is uncomfortable. It's so easy -- and wrong -- to judge people for their weaknesses, snicker about the high and mighty each time they take a...

It Always Was Us
Standing and walking, running in the rain Together we made up the totality that was us The cold and hot, the thrill and exhaustion We made it ours. Now, give me some time, I'm feeling just fine I'm living in silence, in the hum of the tune The center of heaven, the nebulus silver lining Resounding...

BLOGGER PASSES OUT AT WORK AND IS AMBULANCED TO HOSPITAL
I thought I had a pretty good story to tell, until I sat down. You see, I have insomnia. Being treated for it, royally. But the medicine doesn't always work when it should. I'm careful, for instance, not to go out after taking it. That was a Kennedy a few months back who ran an 18-wheeler off the...

IT DOES APPEAR THAT THIS BLOGGER HAS A SENSIBLE ANSWER
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/23/i-was-adam-lanza-part-3.html I have found a modicum of peace with this answer, written by a former downtrodden nerd. He speaks so plainly and seriously about the obvious comonalities in each boy. The early extreme intellect that was ignored or...

A LADY BLOGGER ALWAYS ON HER GAME SO PASSIVE/AGGRESSIVE SHE CAN'T FUNCTION
I am not a trained medical expert; neither a doctor nor a clinician, not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist. A trained professional? Yes. An educator. And as they say, when we have disasters in the classroom, the families, in the staff or administration, well, anyone will tell you, I pretty much call...

MONEY KEPT A FAMILY SECRET UNTIL THE WEAPONS WENT MISSING
After reserving my suspicions all weekend, I have read in the media about the family of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter, and now I have an opinion. His father has a well-paid job and doesn't seem to have finances as any kind of problem. So, scratch lack of money as a reason for the disaster. The...

"She said, 'Mommie, what does that mean?'"
I was diving home from the mall today, listening to the award-winning news coverage of CNN on the radio (Sirius), when Anderson Cooper asked the mother / aunt how she explained to her daughter that she would never see her cousin again. "What did you say to her?' "I just told her that her little...

THESE BLOGGERS ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY VERY SYSTEM THAT GIVES THEM A VOICE
Fortress Amman. There came a time in the British Empire, during the Second World War, when the Brits were forced to fall back country by country, continent by continent. Fortress Singapore was Churchill's line in the sand. Today we learn of a thwarted major AQ attack in Jordan, one of America's...
