It's Done
The election is over and we have a new President-Elect. I respect the Office of the President and support it. Mr. Obama still has to earn my respect and I hope he does. In parting, I paraphrase from another LJ ( Read more... ) -
Go Vote
I don't care who you vote for -- well, actually I do, but I'm not turning this blog into a political blog. There are others out there much more eloquent and knowledgeable than I -- just go vote. As another blogger put it:
Vote your conscience. Vote for what's best for this country. Vote.

Remember or Forget
Saw this earlier today and it made me think about tomorrow's election. Also made me think about what happened 29 years ago and the possibility of a repeat performance.

Frustration, Thy Name is Outsourcing
Before the rant begins, let me say that I love U*Verse. It is cheaper, more reliable and, Monday through Friday, has much better customer service than Dish Network ever had. Frankly, even on weekends the service is better -- as in, you can actually talk with someone without waiting on hold forever ( Read more... ) -
ARGH!
I really ought to know better than to listen to the news before I've had my morning coffee. But, here I am, still working on my first mug, the local Fox news on and my blood pressure just spiked through the roof. Not because of politics. Not because of the current economic situation. Not even because I paid 3.12/gall for gas over the weekend ( Read more... ) -
Proof that MSM has gone over the cliff in all reporting, not just politics
I'll admit, I'm a member of that small group of people wanting the media to report the facts; not make them up and certainly not slant them so much that they bear little resemblance to the truth. Until now, I thought the worst of the reporting centered around politics. However, I found this story and it blew my mind. I'm sure the reporter ( Read more... ) -
Who Would You Rather Have...
as President? A man who wants to work to work to get a financial agreement to help this country in this time of "crisis" or a man who would rather talk the "crisis"? A man of action or a man of words?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26872907?GT1=43001# -
REMEMBER
Seven years. Sometimes it seems like it's been a lot longer. At other times, it seems like yesterday. But it was seven years ago this morning that life in this country changed as abruptly and unexpectedly as it had only once before in recent memory. 9/11, my generation's Pearl Harbor, happened seven years ago and the world was changed forever ( Read more... ) -
How Can One Week Make Such a Change?
Friday, I made the three hour trek to TAMU to see the boy for the first time since he'd moved into the dorm. The past week had been one of training and memorization and general learning that all Fish (incoming freshmen members of the Aggie Corps of Cadets) are the lowest form of low. After doing that, the Fish passed in review Friday afternoon ( Read more... ) -
Al Gore Speaks Again...Who Cares?
Once more the man who wanted to be president has issued forth his proclamation that we should move away from fossil fuels in all aspects of our lives. Now, while I agree that we need to explore alternative energy sources, I find it just a bit ironic that a man who flies around the world on his private jet, whose electric bills for his private home ( Read more... )
