Well here we go... My daughter has been hauling her stuff here to my house since yesterday. My son's, Ray and Billy are thinking about taking a road trip to Kansas to see their brother Jon-Ray (MY SOLDIER BOY)... And this is just the first storm of the current Hurricane season... damn. I propose that we switch summers off with hurricane season... we could be the Storm Birds... like the Snow Birds that flock to Florida during the winter months. My biggest worry is the fact that I ... [Read more]

I'm still digesting the content in the following two articles. The comments/discussions are just as interesting - some just as alarming. Given the fact that America is at WAR, our current hostile political situations here and abroad, not to mention America's growing problem with oil, or rather the lack of it... and let's not forget about the the continual rise in the prices of a barrel of oil and a gallon of gas... I'm shocked that Slate and Forbe's would engage in the f... [Read more]

Have you ever wanted to write a letter of Resignation, but found that you needed help? Well HELP has arrived finally... oh yes it has. I'm surprized that HELP with writing letters of resignation hadn't arrived sooner. Could it be that the market for assisting someone write a letter of resignation is much bigger than was previously thought? Apparently so... The market for assisting people write letters of resignation has grown so rapidly, and become so challenging that now a site i... [Read more]

When I started smoking nobody ever talked about the even the least of the problem with smoking - "It stinks." There were no health warnings printed on cigarette packaging. Cigarette smoking was considered the cool thing to do. By the time all the health crusaders started all the hullabaloo over cigarette smoking, I was totally addicted - TOTALLY. It's not that I don't want to quit smoking, it's that I want my quiting smoking to be easy... very easy, at least as easy as... [Read more]

I remember Vietnam War Veterans comming home and then getting sick, and sicker still. How many died not even knowing what made them sick... and now in Iraq our American soldiers, our American sons and daughters, are dealing with the same hard-nosed stupidity from the sprawling bureaucracy of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The soldiers who fought in Vietnam came home sick because of Agent Orange. Wouldn't you think that the American Government and people who work in the VA HOSPITALS... [Read more]

Hopefully you've read about the house that colasped in New York. Well that house ended up being more valuable than the people who lived in it, and I'm not talking about dollar values here either... in New York it goes without saying property values are ridiculous!

The following story is one of the saddest I've ever read! The following report demonstrates how broken the criminal justice system is. Broken because the people are so entrenched in the safety and security of their paychecks - they no longer do their job. The system doesn't need fixing - the system needs people, employees, who take personal responsibility to do the job their hired and paid to do. Too much apathy... Too much shuffling responsibility...

Bush wants line item veto. Bush issues signing statements whenever he signs a bill into law. Bush's signing statements generally mean the rule of law does not apply to him and his Executive Powers. Bush wanted to be a war time President, in my not so humble opinion. Being a war time president affords a president more power - Bush's entire reign as President has been about POWER AND CONTROL. Oh how I wish The New York Times would publish all of Bush's signing statements, but ... [Read more]

A READERS COMMENT: So, if all my work spouses have been women, does that make me an office lesbian? Or, if I have both male and female office spouses - concurrently - is it an orgy or polygamy? I do think it's unfortunate that many assume men and women can't be platonic friends. They certainly can be. We real spouses know that, and aren't threatened by it. If we have reason to feel threatened, we have far deeper problems in our marriages than worrying about our spouses... [Read more]

In a democracy, presidents are elected - but with all the unprecidented legal challenges surrounding Bush when he became president, or was appointed (based on what you believe happened in Florida) have proven the long-standing standard method of electing a President has changed -drastically. AND NOT FOR THE BETTER, either. The Problem with Preside... [Read more]
