On My Soapbox

Time for a soapbox entry. It's been a while since I posted one. Lately there are certain ads that I find that not only don't entertain me but also insult my intelligence. They also turn me off to their products. The first one is Little Ceasars Pizza. The family sits on the couch and the father... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo manipulation

What else won't the media do to skew the news? Female world leaders were edited (removed) from the photo by Israeli newspaper. If they are willing to do this how can the article or anything else they print be take seriously? See the before and after picture on this link:... Sign in to see full entry.

Palestine and Israel

Finally the truth is slowly leaking out about how skewed the news is about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israelis deaths are overreported and Palestinians deaths underreported. Tom Hurndall died trying to prevent Israeli snipers from gunning down Palestinian children. Read more at the following... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter Looms

Winter looms Ready to spread its icy tendrils Dangling from roof and limb Across streets and walkways Sending cars in spins Humans struggling to remain on foot Only to tumble Sign in to see full entry.

Car bombing

Tonight as I watched the movie Casino memories came back of another time. An incident I had long forgotten until a particular scene at the end with Robert DeNiro. It was October 23, 1972. It started out as a quiet day. Business was slow and it was late in the afternoon. It was just me and the cook.... Sign in to see full entry.

update

Wow! Where did the year go? I can hardly believe we are now closing another year. This year has brought me two additional grandchildren who were born two months apart. The other day they were doing what babies do best when they don't quite have complete control of their motor skills - swatting each... Sign in to see full entry.

Update

Yesterday my mom had a doctor's appointment. She had been feeling a little off since the night before. I woke her up to go to the doctor's and she wasn't sure she could do it. I told her it's either the doctor's or ER. She got up to get ready. I made her a scrambled egg with a tortilla. She decided... Sign in to see full entry.
