I believe that the falling levels of education and reading and learning are
America's scariest new vital statistics. They scare me and make me worry about the future well being of the nation. When I hear that Obama is a Muslim and Hillary is a bitch and McCain is the only America loving patriot on the ballot, I cringe in shame. The intelligent generation is dying and the...

I, like many Americans, have the song Chocolate Rain stuck in my head.
There is this fellow pseudonymed Tay Zonday, who looks to be 13 years old, but is a grad student, who has a very basso profundo voice, and who wrote and produced a video on Youtube. The juxtaposition of that baby face and deep voice has brought him many viewers and sharers and then a rapper covered...

A recall on Honduran cantaloupes, salmonella...
And, Japan won't buy our mozarella with dioxins. Wonder why? We will. You try to eat healthy, healthily and find that it can only be done by growing the darned foods yourself. I may try farming next year, urban farming.

Minimum hourly wage, averaged in Mexico is $.61 an hour.
Last year at this time, it was $2.04 or so. Now, do you understand the migration? When I was young, America had a huge middle class. Eveyone in America seemed to be middle class. The rich kept a fairly low profile, not flaunting their economic superiority as they do now, and the poor could get by on...

China has learned the first principal of governing, Act Like Geo. Bush.
Do what you will, when you will, as you will and damned the torpedoes and full speed ahead in Tibet. Rather than get tangled up in listening to opposition or complaints, just do what you feel must be done and let everyone whine endlessly into the night later.....and ignore that, too. God Bless China...

A comment on Corbin Dallas' blog...about black and white people.
People will beat up Obama no matter what he says about race. We are a nation of touchy touchy touchy and very touchy people on that subject. We make these Bridge Between the Races Children choose one shoreline. My son was allowed to have the friends that he chose naturally from his neighborhood and...

What is everyone talking about???!??
As I drive to and from Mom's house and the grocery store, less now than before gas went up, I see absolutely everyone in America on a cell phone, talking. They are walking and shopping for groceries and talking, walking in the park and talking, holding hands with a girlfriend and talking, waiting at...

Bill Moyers sure had fun attacking McCain this a.m.
He says that he has linked up with the devil's schedule planner, a reverend whose name I have luckily forgotten. I listened to that reverend fellow once and had to laugh out loud. All of the candidates attack each other and now, I figure that by the conventions, we shall throw them all out and pick...

Police dump quadraplegic out of his wheelchair. I am so proud of us.
What the h#!@#%!%!%$ #???!?!?!? I think that the Congress not condemning torture has sort of flashed the red flag in front of the bulls and they are running wild through society now. Shame on us. I hope that all countries read that news item and that all Americans realize that this is our image in...
