Here's a preview from the show's Host Lillian Brummet:

Tom and I first met when he interviewed me on a radio show he once hosted a few years back and since then he’s put his ( Read more... )

Our Kitty "Patches" has been with us for 8 years. Healthy and Happy she has been but now she faces a serious health threat. She's just recently developed some very serious seizures and now she needs your prayers for a full recovery...

At this point, we're awaiting blood tests but the prognosis doesn't look too good.  When this video was shot (today ( Read more... )

SENATE REJECTS PUBLIC OPTION-

Looks like there will be no government run health care. So glad the insurance companies will continue to run and control our health. Did I just say that!?

It looks like all of the fears of socialized medicine were unfounded.  What will they find wrong with a health care reform proposal now?  Give em a few seconds. I'm ( Read more... )

I've been observing lately; how strange the news has been in the last several weeks or months.  Michael Jackson  made the news when he died, apparently from the homicidal hands of his own doctor.  You've got the Phillip Gorrido and Jaycee Dugard story  where a girl, now a woman, returns home after spending 18 years in a backyard enclosure, not even ( Read more... )

And even though my memoir isn't flying off the book shelves as of yet- P.O.M.P. certainly is taking some FAST baby steps. ( Read more... )

I just listened to Lou Dobbs (From that vast left wing liberal network CNN) chastise President Obama for scolding Wall Street but "not offering a plan" to regulate the stuffing of pockets that is still going on in the financial markets one year after the melt down- when the government stepped in with their massive bail-outs.  It seems that Lou ( Read more... )

For the last several years our mobile home community has been involved in organizing against deteriorating conditions within our park. Whether it be poor rules enforcement, unresponsive management concerning maintenance issues, or high and unreasonable rent increases, a few of us have worked damn hard to turn things around and create the change ( Read more... )

I thought it was a fairly decent speech but the best punch was delivered in the late rounds of his pitch for health care reform.  When he used Teddy Kennedy's words from a letter the President received "upon his death"- that's when I felt most proud to be in this debate for reform.  These words brought it home for me:
