Free speech
At its worst? This cartoon, from the New York Post is wrong on so many levels, one can only assume they printed it as a testament to free speech. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29263781/?GT1=43001 The first impression is that it does portray the racist theme of African Americans as “monkeys.” Or maybe...

An old song for our new times
Tired of telemarketers and infomercials? Then this song is for you! Written by Steve Goodman back in the ‘80s it is still relevant today, although you might not remember all these products unless you are of a certain (ahem) age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnqtGjHJjs8 Sorry, I'm not sure how to...

Overdrive Overkill
Have you heard the news? Its all bad. Every station has an analyst telling us why the bailout will work. Or why it wont’ work. Maybe that it will work marginally but the cost will…well don’t even think about it. The markets are down, down, down and sinking faster than a banker off of a skyscraper....

Hit and run horror story
Dragged for a mile after being hit a 42 year old Spokane woman, Susette Werner and her senseless death are on the minds of everyone in the community.

No more pesky letters to the editors where you have to have a point, be able to express a thought coherently and without resorting to name-calling or expletives. Now everyone...

I chose to update my humor blog but at this moment, nothing is really funny to me. Last Wednesday I had an...

Thinking about the future
What are we in for? I’ll tell you, the future is what we are in for. Of course, no one call tell exactly what the future holds, but history does tend to repeat itself, mostly because humans don’t study it and are doomed to repeat history. So, if one gives serious thought to what things might happen,...

Top execs pay cut
That’s the word - if you want money from the bailout fund, your top executive will be limited to only $500,000 per year. This is not a broadsword approach, only companies asking for bail-out money will come under this ruling. Some say this is the precipice of a “slippery slope” that they fear the...

My opinion of winter
Ok, its stopped being cute, I want it to be over, NOW! Seriously, we haven’t had new snow in almost three weeks. I just took this photo of our entryway and as you can see the accumulated snow and the snow that slid off the roof is elbow high at my front door. I had to shovel this path out three...
