Begins the Second American Civil War

Today we begin the effort to change America. Now that a plurality has voted for change, the reasonable question might be asked, how much change, and in whose back yard? Traditionally, people are slow to change. The MSM is calling for only a beginning of change, a gentle nudge in the right direction!... Sign in to see full entry.

I Don't Feel Guilty Any More!

Let me say to the Christian Coalition, I just do not feel guilty for abandoning the GOP. Not after they refused to compromise on immigration and health care. The severe dogma allowed to us by Rush, well, it didn't allow for new realities. And the beat goes on...from Michelle Malkin: "I respect the... Sign in to see full entry.

the 1930's Spawned Development

I enjoyed listening to the fine speeches on Sunday, but one that stands out wasn't a speech at all. CNN sponsors Fareed Zakaria, whose name spells Fred Krazaaaie in jumble, on a world class program called GPS. I have seen quality interviews with international leaders, right down to President Hu of... Sign in to see full entry.

Obama and The 'New Birth of Freedom'

President-elect Barack Obama becomes President Obama on Tuesday. He has decided to deliver his inaugural speech on the subject "A New Birth of Freedom", taken from Lincoln's speech known as the "Gettysburg Address". Wondering about the meaning of Obama's invocation of Lincoln at this point in... Sign in to see full entry.

Banana Republic? The USA?

In reports of smooth sailing through her Senate confirmation hearings, one hears that there exists bipartison support for Hillary Clinton. That's a good thing, right? But then there's that nagging question about ethics and the persistent, pesky question of how a failure in integrity might impact the... Sign in to see full entry.

President Hu's on First

The new president of China is said to be plain, lackluster, a committee man, not a dynamic leader like Mao. But give the man his due for admitting the "new realities" his nation faces. Not the dogma, he says, but the smart idea will rule this nation. In so doing he unleashed a furor of capitalism... Sign in to see full entry.

On-My-Way-to-Church Book Tease!

The new John LeCarre novel, A VERY WANTED MAN, takes place in Hamburg, Germany. It is a traditional LeCarre psychological spy thriller, almost by the numbers. It has a flair of humor throughout, as did TAILOR OF PANAMA, exposing governmental atrocities starting in the intelligence community. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold and Hot, From Me and You

Half-inch of snow overnight will continue blowing about, at 26 degrees above zero. The walks are cleaned off thanks to a bit of foresight. We salted and de-iced last week. Yet, tonight we expect the temps to drop thirty + degrees. Larry Flint is suing for a bailout, 5B, really. From the Freudian... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the Empty Nest Syndrome

Tonight the girls pile the clothes, printers, laptops, mini-fridge and books into the pickup and move back into the dorms. Tonight we had a celebratory dinner together, discussing funny stories from work. Their schedules they have arranged themselves, personalized to fit whim and whimsy; each on...
