Today’s the Day!

Fellow Americans, today is the day to decide on the future of our country!! It’s an amazing  privilege to be able to vote and I encourage each of you to get ready and make your final decision.  If you’re still undecided, you better hurry! I think both candidates have something good to offer, and either way it goes, it’s really not going to be...

Rumors About Obama?

I couldn’t come up with anything creative to say today, so I stole a post my husband wrote on one of his blogs. What if they were true? Would it really make a difference, or is Obama too much of a savior in people’s eyes to see the truth? I’m thinking that Obama could produce his birth certificate from Kenya and he would still...

A Girl Just Can’t Win!

Have you heard the complaining about Sarah Palin’s expenses on clothes, makeup and hair? $150K on her and her family. “The clothing purchases have raised questions about the propriety of using party money for such expenses. The Republican National Committee said the clothes belong to the committee, while John McCain’s campaign said the clothing would go to a “charitable purpose” after the campaign. It...

Economic Scare(y).

The rumor is Washington Mutual went under because of a run on the bank yesterday. Word on the ‘net is that there have been a few other runs around the country. Sound familiar? The government is trying not to say the word “depression”…instead they’re saying “recession.” Recession as in bald guy or just receding hair line? We learned about the Great Depression in the...

“Critically” Important Election Year??

We got a letter in the mail from one of the political parties asking for support. The opening line was, “To say this is a critically important election year would surely be an understatement.” When was the last election that wasn’t important? And this one is really “critical?” Hmmm…I can think of 4 right off the top of my head that were probably more...

Palin vs. the “Can’t Do All” Dems

So now in the political realm there’s a big stink about Sarah Palin running because she has kids. Since when did the Democrats think women should stay at home all the time??  They’ve held a strong point of women being able to work and raise a family. It’s typically Repubs that have the conservative view of women staying home with kids. One example they’re...

McCain’s New RunningMate

Holy smokes! I predicted Leiberman, but I’m glad I’m wrong. She’s Sarah Palin, 44 years old, the governor of Alaska, a mom of 5…the oldest in the military and the youngest a baby with Down’s. I could go on, but I’m sure you’ll hear about her if you haven’t already. This is huge. I’m thrilled. I love many of the things she stands for...

I am “They.”

A new acquaintance of ours recently told us he has a friend who’s favorite saying is “I am “they.” Brilliant!…I thought. “They” are telling us how to raise our kids. “They” are tearing down the rain forests. “They” are causing pollution. “They” are causing our children to grow up faster, with clothes, music, peer pressure. “They” need to clean up the language on tv....

Natural Gas in East Coast

This could really be big to the local communities if drillers find enough natural gas. It is one of the three largest potential onshore resources of natural gas in the United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Marcellus shale, named after the town in New York where it was found, is mostly in western New York and Pennsylvania and much of West Virginia....
