Answering Nauti Nautikos, who claims to have the only answers, the best.

Dear Nauti, The term FREAKAZOID is not mine, but generationally mine. You must be very young or younger than I. It came from Rick James’ song, Super Freak, an added ‘take it up a notch’ vocabulary thing, and it always brings Sarah Palin to my mind now as I bunch her with the CFs as you now call...

We Can Solve It AD, please request its airing, thanks.

Dear benzinha, What an unbelievable response! In just 24 hours, more than 100,000 folks sent messages to ABC in support of airing our Repower America ad (see below for more information).

Sarah Palin's, if we're going there, terrorist connections, Obama a cupcake

Alaska, it seems to me, if American television were going to have any reality show, Alaska would be the best candidate for containing the most interesting characters and plots and counter plots of any area worth putting videographers upon. My brother, when he sent this salon post link to me called... Sign in to see full entry.

Shame on McCain and Palin for calling Obama a terrorist.

I am beyond disgusted. Is everyone that anyone of us doesn't like to be labelled a terrorist from now on? I spit on these people's shoes, throw my arm up like an Italian at them and thumb my nose at their cruel stupidity and baldfaced fear at losing the election to the better man. Shame on them....

I wrote to verify my previous blog post. Here is the answer...

Little did I think when I forwarded this account to four or five friends on 16 September that I would be identified as the author or receive so many questions. Some of you have clearly received the email without the preface attached, and with me listed as author. Most simply ask whether this really... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I wondered if anyone was reporting from the frontlines of American Society, embedded with the poverty stricken and reporting on what happens each day when you live in the greatest country on earth and earn enough to survive and not much else.
