sarooster's opinion on things

This old take-off from one of the closing scenes in “The Music Man” is a question we might ask of our large media now. The local newspaper made sure to put polling news on the front page each day. MSNBC had a headline each day about it. All the other big ones did also. Now, you have to dig for what... Sign in to see full entry.

I thought Chris Matthews was going to urinate on himself announcing bill clinton the other day. It was the former president’s first appearance after quadruple bypass surgery seven weeks before. All the liberals around were just fawning over bill. How could he have come back so fast after such as... Sign in to see full entry.

I guess it must be official now. On the Electoral College map Colorado has been penciled in for Bush. John Kerry cancelled his visits there this week so he must think the same thing. That is the first mention I saw of it. Are there any other states following suit? The balance must be tipping in... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been writing on Blogit for two months now. I don’t think I really understood the deal when I first started. So I think it were a couple of weeks before I got into the swing of things. I am so glad I found this site and I plan on being here for a long, long time. There are so many great people... Sign in to see full entry.

Ok, here is the scene. I drive up to the fast food restaurant and make my way to the window to order. I give my order and move up behind other cars to await my order. The two cars in front of me each pull up to the window to wait their turn to pick up their order. This is where the lines stops! We... Sign in to see full entry.

We have just two weeks left in the presidential election. The campaigns are hot and heavy now. Lost in the mix are the battles for the House and Senate. I have not really paid much attention to what is going on there. The control of the Congress may be more important than who controls the... Sign in to see full entry.

The soldiers in the unit in Iraq that refused to take part in a mission are looking worse and worse to me. I think it is the right and duty of every soldier to bring out problems with a mission they are assigned. This may save lives and help the commanders see things clearer. After all, the soldiers...

About a dozen and a half “soldiers” refused a mission to carry supplies to their comrades yesterday in Iraq. During a time of war this is a very serious offense. It seems the “soldiers” took a vote and decided not to carry out a direct order and perform their sworn duties. Several called home and... Sign in to see full entry.

Before I bust up into my regular journal entry I thought I would write a few lines about something that seems to have come up in my life lately. As I get a little older I am constantly using the phrase, “maybe I should have done….”. This phase seems to recur in a lot of things I have been doing. I... Sign in to see full entry.
