Y'all Need to Lay Off Sarah Palin!
I"m really fed up with these people who are saying that just because Sarah Palin has young children at home, she should not accept the nomination to be Vice President of the United States? Would they say the same if her husband had been named as McCain's running mate and Sarah was just gonna be the...

None of the Above, Please
I want a new choice put on the Presidential ballots. I know this was made into a movie ages ago -- think it starred Eddie Murphy -- but I am really serious. I think "None of the Above" should be on the ballot for EVERY presidential and senatorial race. The rules would be that you'd have the various...

Poor Sports in the World Arena
So what about this Swedish wrestler? ( Story ) I thought the Olympics was all about good sportsmanship. Guess I was mistaken. Apparently we Americans haven't cornered the market on bad manners after all. He got the medal, interrupted the award for the next medalist to shake hands, and then walked...

Bibliophiles Anonymous? Hardly!
I have to tell you about this site, because I LOOOOOOOOOOVE it. If you are a bibliophile, you need to use this site. If you have scads of books in your house and not even a clue of what they all are, you need this site. If you have duplicates of books because you forgot that you already have that...

What Is WRONG With Parents?
Another infant has died because she was left in a car. In 100-degree weather. Most tragic is that many of these people "forgot" that their child was in the car. When the temp outside is 100, the temp inside of a car can exceed 150 degrees in less than 15 minutes. Most kids who die after being left...

WHY DOES CRAZY STUFF HAPPEN TO ME?
I was eating dinner with the kids at a certain local chain restaurant tonight. As the waiter was clearing the dishes, a knife fell off of a plate, and bounced off of my water glass onto the floor. He apologized. I said it was okay. And we both assumed that was the end of it. It wasn't. As the kids...

Nothing Like Good Timing
I have impeccable timing. Really, I do. Take my weight and health issues, for instance. For over a decade, I have been between 80 and 100 pounds overweight. I was doing really well in 1999--2000, losing weight and feeling great, when some naysayers who didn't approve of my diet plan convinced me...

Seven-Year-Old Traffic Cop
You just gotta love this story. I'd love to hug this kid, and deposit money in his college fund for every speeder he's caught. ('cept I'm broke.) You have to wonder why the real cops aren't taking advantage of this. Heck, let the kid give them traffic citations---he'd probably get a huge kick out of...

Do You Twitter?
I find this site oddly compelling. I joined just on a whim, but it's addictive. Find me here. I like how each post has to be 140 words or fewer. That makes it kind of like a prose haiku. You have to learn to pack a lot of meaning into a very few words. I also like the "follow" feature. Mostly, I am...

Proud to Be an American
Okay, I don't care what any of the politicians or their spouses have to say. Nor dishonest singers who fail to keep their agreements. Nor anyone else for that matter. I live in a Great Country. And as Ken Hamblin (the Black Avenger) used to say, "If you don't like it, pick a better country." Not...
