I Am So Flippin Frustrated, Confused, Annoyed and MAD!

Did you know -- it is illegal for "illegals" living in Mexico to demonstrate or protest? There is no such thing as freedom of expression there -- for illegals, at least, including a peaceful demonstration. If an "illegal" -- say someone from Central America -- is caught living in Mexico, he or she... Sign in to see full entry.

Regarding one of my favorite bloggers, some thoughts . . . .

Kingmi made a statement in one of his blogs about the 12 million illegal immigrants in this country and stated something to the effect that “they’re Americans, too.” I have been pondering this comment of his and trying to figure out why it is that I was troubled by his words. In another post, I read... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was MY Lucky Day!!!

Two gas stations within a block of each other. One selling gas for $2.79/gallon, the other a wee bit behind in the greedy profit grabbing, and selling for $2.53/gallon. So which one do YOU think ol' Jane filled up at? Three guesses, the first two don't count. That is so ridiculous! If my... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's See What ELSE We Can IMPORT From China!

My sister and her girls were shopping at Sam's Club yesterday when they saw a large display of fish for sale. In big, bold words at the edge of the display was written "Imported from China!" And the price, of course, was more reasonable than anything that could be caught locally. Haven't I read... Sign in to see full entry.

Multiple Complaints Regarding THIS, But Are They Justified???

So people, both Dems and Republicans (including, a few times, myself) have nattered and sniped and complained regarding the seeming never ending spending that is occurring in Washington. The debt is increasing -- both the national debt and the trade deficite. Gripe, gripe, gripe. And yeah, some of... Sign in to see full entry.

Bits and Pieces of Interest --

Did you know? 1 kg of firewood produces 1 kWh (kilowatt hour) of energy 1 kg of coal produces 3 kWh 1 kg of oil produces 4 kWh and... 1 kg of uranium produces 50,000 kWh of energy!!! (Source: Energy Metals Corp) No wonder China, India, Russia and others are building more reactors! (Oh, yeah, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Did Jesus Turn The Water Into Beer???

Did you read about the woman in Oslo, Norway, who turned on her kitchen faucet and was amazed to discover beer flowing from the faucet in place of water? Haldis Gundersen went to pour herself a glass of water this weekend when, lo and behold, out flowed free beer. Two stories down from her apartment... Sign in to see full entry.

Are We Sure These Weren't Hate Crimes????

I find it interesting to note that the three college students arrested in Alabama in conjunction with burning down nine churches were charged with nothing more than arson and something else... oh crud, my tired brain is not remembering the second charge. Anyway, it sounds like they were out hunting... Sign in to see full entry.

Are WE Becoming A Bunch of Savages?

What's with these increasing acts of violence against the homeless? The latest took place in Boston, where two men kicked a homeless man in the abdomen and then doused him with a flammable liquid and set him on fire. Someone else saw the flames and called 911. The man was treated at Massachusetts... Sign in to see full entry.

Remember Ariel Sharon?

Last week the National Religious Broadcasters took a vote to see who of the 38 candidates would win one of 33 seats on the NRB board of directors. Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, wasn’t one of the 33 voted on to the board. Hmmmm. I wonder why. Could it be that he has... Sign in to see full entry.
