Just about every week I see a headline where someone is calling someone else a racist. It’s boring, tedious, and tiresome. Those that bandy around the “R” word are just intellectually challenged. First, they probably don’t even know the meaning of the word “racist” and, second, it’s much easier to stop a conversation in its…
Everyone’s probably heard of Solyndra but how many of you have heard of the Fisker Corporation? Two years ago, Henrik Fisker got $529,000,000 (yes, that’s $529 million) in government loan guarantees to start up his electric car company. All the money hasn’t circled the bowl yet, but I’m predicting it will. Let’s start off with…
At the DNC, Julian Castro, Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, said Mitt Romney “doesn’t get it.” According to some, Mr. Romney doesn’t relate to the “little people” because he didn’t grow up like average folks.

I spent 46:16 minutes on the phone trying to access my own records from MCI – in the end, I still don’t have access to them. Several years ago, I made the huge mistake of switching our MCI account to paperless billing. We get an…
A line from one of my husband’s favorite movies, the original Clash of the Titans, is “release the Kraken.” With that directive from Zeus, all Hell is supposed to break loose. Well, I feel the same way when I hear those on the left telling Mitt Romney, “release the tax returns.” I guess, according to…
Recently, Bill O’Reilly commented on the gaffe by Vice President Biden who told an audience in Virginia that the Republicans want to put “y’all back in chains” and the ad which showed a Paul Ryan look-alike throwing a grandma off a cliff. In both cases, Bill concluded that no one, regardless of their extreme ideology, could believe Republicans want…
Julian Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks, has been holed up since June in a small office in an apartment which is the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. He sought asylum from the Ecuadorean government when England expressed its willingness to extradite this weasel to Sweden to answer questions about an alleged rape and sexual molestation. Of course, once he’s finished in Sweden,…
