THE AMERICAN DREAM - FOILED???

At our last visit with the Middlings, we found them diligently working to re-claim the American Dream and most confident that it would be accomplished with a lot of hard work. They had been encouraged and believed in imminent success. But instead, some were sinking deeper into docility. Others were,... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE...BESIDES TEA PARTIES

One way to tenderize meat: Use equal parts prepared tea (loose, tea bags or instant) and beef stock or broth as the liquid in POT ROAST. It's not good to get a sunburn, but if you do and it is too big to justify the use of cool wet tea bags: try putting a jar of instant tea in a tepid bath to sooth... Sign in to see full entry.

DEAR LORD, SO FAR TODAY

Liven house plants - water them weekly with weak brewed tea. Soothe tired eyes - soak tea bags in cool water, press out excess... Sign in to see full entry.

HORROR STORIES IN HEALTH CARE

We've heard the horror stories from some of the countries that already have nationalized health care, you know the ones about people waiting for procedures, unable to get meds, even being refused treatment and some dire results. I wonder if those are isolated incidents, the norm or maybe somewhere... Sign in to see full entry.

THERE WILL BE SWEET SMELLING CANDLES, KITTENS, AND TEA PARTIES

This beautiful Spring day across the land holds promises of new beginnings for the Middlings. There had been little points of light, rumors of conflicts within the crystal palaces. The allegation that the Middlings had wanted to be subjective, controlled and cared for was being dispelled, at least... Sign in to see full entry.

I CAN HEAR THE GROANING NOW

Yes, it's that time again - The required weekly test: Is Nancy Pelosi: a. a deliberate distraction b. a Democratic sacrifice or c. self-destructing? If the worst happens, will she be able to retire and still live the lifestyle she has become accustomed to? Will Joe Biden ever be heard from again?... Sign in to see full entry.

But what crossed my mind first was that President Obama's speech was mostly about...President Obama. Oh, it was eloquent and well done and to acknowledge that his speaking there was controversial...

TEN YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT

The possibility of today's subject being relevant to current events is not easily detectible, by some at least. Bear with me. History reveals recurrent trends, clothed in various 'new' systems for the people, led, of course, by the government. In the end, the unsuspecting masses become merely... Sign in to see full entry.
