You gotta know by now (after 8-9 yrs since the 2015-2016 presidential campaign trail), that I’m a liberal; I’m a democrat; I support gay rights, and same sex marriage; I support a women’s right to choose; I support women who have to make an agonizing decision, and that decision is theirs alone to make; I do not ‘get’ people who feel the need to stick their nose into someone else’s pregnancy. I … [Read more...]
“New” book on Watergate – compilation of Wash. Post stories
December 14, 2018 By
I noticed a “new” book about Watergate while looking at books within Amazon’s Kindle area. It’s called “The original Watergate stories”, by “The Washington Post”. Published in 2012. Looks to be a compilation of all the Washington Post Watergate newspaper stories, written by Bob Woodward, and Carl Bernstein. The Kindle edition is only $3. So far, I’ve only read the foreward, which, although … [Read more...]
Airplane pilots joke

From two years ago.... Eddie Glaude Jr., chairman of Princeton’s African-American Studies Department, said the following on MSNBC: "I was in the airport coming from LSU—I gave a talk down in Baton Rouge, and . . . some guy stops. He’s talking to me about politics. And he says, you know, if there’s a crook who is going to go into the cockpit, who knows how to fly the plane, and then there’s an … [Read more...]
Prayer in schools?
October 5, 2017 By
I’m on the bus, meaning it’s hard to write one of my infamous long winded posts. But here is a premise and question: “Prayer in schools” Do you remember “prayer/ praying in schools”? I’m 58, grew up as a young kid in the 1960s, and graduated in ‘77, and I just do not remember ever praying in a class room, nor as school assemblies, nor at school events/games. I went to public school, to put … [Read more...]
Gun Control – Call Now!
October 4, 2017 By
First time in my life that I’ve ever called my senators (or representatives). But, I so much wanted my voice heard reflecting my opinion regarding the ban on assault weapons, as well as guns in general. I called both of them, and left msgs, asking them to either introduce a bill or support a bill regarding this issue. The number to call is 1-202-224-3122. That’s all you need, it will ask if … [Read more...]
Las Vegas – Gun Control
October 2, 2017 By
It’s been a horrific day. I’m going to turn off FB for awhile, for the rest of the night, I hope, and, maybe, for a bit longer. But one final thought: There are several “industries” that create products that kill our own kind on purpose. Some products are regulated by government such as cigarettes or explosives. Some products have been banned/made illegal, such as addictive drugs such as Meth, … [Read more...]
Las Vegas 2 of 2
October 2, 2017 By
I am overwhelmed with sadness. You would think one could build up a tolerance for this kind of thing (Las Vegas). No, I’m not able to – not me. In fact, more and more, I find myself getting sadder and sadder each time it happens. But, while I am overwhelmed with sadness, my anger is also increasing. More, and more, I’m getting to be so angry at the lack of willingness to make laws regarding … [Read more...]
