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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
We’ve been watching a lot of the Olympics in our house since it started. I’ve been surprised how much our family has been sucked into the games! I’ve been watching sports I never thought I’d watch (table tennis, archery, fencing, dressage, etc). I’ve kept a close eye on the Chinese teams in particular (after the US teams, of course). They have the most gold...
I really, really find something I read today amusing. 😀 Barack Obama’s new book, “Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama‘s Plan to Renew America’s Promise”, is coming out Sept. 9th. This is a policy book! Hah! I find this amusing because now we have a book to pull out when a Dem flip-flops on a topic–we can go back and see what his...
There’s much speculation about China around these Olympics. China is notoriously closed-minded to the outside world in many ways. They have magnificent technology, as we all know…think back to the opening ceremonies on the 8th with that huge LED screen on the ground. And they’re open to tourism…I definitely would LOVE to go to China. But the government is strong against change. Tienanmen Square...
