Someone at NPR finally noticed the connection between the 18,000 jobs/0.1% rise in unemployment and all of the government budget slashing that has been going on. For a real heads-up, take a look at NASA. Pretend that the government is shutting down the space program as part of the trillions of dollars of budget cuts […]
I thought the idea of burning the surface oil was a bad idea. Besides polluting the water they are polluting the air too. However, now I know it is a bad idea. I mean, burning sea turtles alive, it just doesn’t stop. Someone should add the owners of the BP retail gasoline franchises, nationwide, […]
I awoke this morning to a link and a reminder of Mr. George Hutchins’ website from someone I chat with online. I was told that he was a great patriotic American. I really don’t like the site. It’s been made fun of a lot on the internet already. I made jokes about its last century […]

As a college student, I suppose I should have fifteen of my own blog sites, but I don’t. Trust me, I’m not against blog sites like Facebook, Myspace, and so on. However, too many of the typical blogs are little more than soap operas – drama queens talking about each other and who they’re currently […]
I just get so, so tired of re-fighting the same old battles again and again and again with the same old, bigoted, selfish bastards. They wear me out. They are relentless. There are two guys fighting same sex marriage. They say two people who love each other, who happen to be the same sex, tarnish […]
