Read This Before School This Morning

With all the back and forth nonsense about President Obama’s speech to kids, this morning, read it now. Then decide. Now, I ask you: Why wouldn’t you want your kids to hear this? I’ve read the speech, and I just can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want their child(ren) to hear it. Well, yes I can. [...]

Fighting Back

All I can say is: It’s about freaking time. I give you my new hero, Senator Barney Frank of the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxgLXDupHaI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1] Even though I was born and raised in Ohio and have lived in Florida for over 30 years, I always wondered why I felt like I was coming home [...]

They’ve Got Stones, Man

I’m not a huge fan of Greenpeace – they’re frequently reckless, dangerous, and frankly, violent. And I stand by what I’ve said before, that I brook no extremists of any stripe, even when I agree with the cause. So you won’t find any links to their website here. This time, well… They managed to get [...]

History! – Part 3

“As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, [...]

History! – Part 2

Photo courtesy PDPhoto.org Its… Finally… Almost… Over…. Where will you be when President Obama takes the oath of office? Me? I’ll be at work, dammit. They say they’ll have TVs available, but no cable. Sucks. But, as the faux Time Magazine cover I posted last week states triumphantly, our national nightmare is nearly over. Well, [...]

Giving Thanks – Part I

I know I haven’t written in a couple of weeks. It isn’t like there’s a shortage of material out there, both political and personal. It’s just that, well, Thanksgiving is coming up this Thursday, and while the world still seems bound and determined to go to hell in a handbasket before Barack Obama’s inauguration in, [...]

Rahmbo

On Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year), several weeks ago, MJ and I went to my brother’s house for the traditional holiday dinner. I discovered several nasty things about my family that evening. Not about my brother, mind you, but his wife, her sister, and her husband. Namely, that my sister-in-law’s sister’s husband is a [...]

History!

Photo courtesy PDPhoto.org You did it, America! You made History! And in a good way! We went over to the Shoes’ last night for a little viewing party with Miz Shoes, the RLA, Star, the Surrogate Daughter #3 (hers, not mine), Yogi and BooBoo (don’t ask – they chose their own names). We ate. We [...]

Go Blue!

I know, it looks a little weird. So if you didn’t get an e-mail from me, here’s what’s going on: My friend Kris had, what I thought was an inspired idea, and I promised I would spread the word. I hope you will, too. Let’s all go BLUE for the next week, between now and [...]
