Like any blogger, I occasionally have to indulge my ego and look at the statistics to see who is reading this blog.  Obviously, I don’t get names and addresses; I get locations and sometimes the search term that brought them here.
It is those search terms that sometimes grab my heart  like an Aztec priest…and wring […]

So, what does a former press secretary do to pay the bills after he leaves the White House? Apparently he writes a tell all book and pisses off folks on both sides!
But just because Scott McClellan’s book might be self-serving, does that mean everything in the book is untrue? I doubt it. […]

I am an amateur history buff, and an amateur philosopher. I am really not in a class with so many of my favorite bloggers, but I am bitchy and big-mouthed and will harangue away with the best of my betters, all the same. Right now, from my lower middle class, no retirement savings, […]

Ok, sometimes I don’t get past the headline, everyone who knows me is accustomed to me storming away from the computer screen, ranting; or throwing down a paper, ranting. Usually, however, it is only news that does this to me. But, the stupid, it burns…even in “environmental tip” articles now, apparently.  And yes, there is […]

Hillary Clinton, that is; she pissed off the Pickled Jester, who has a resultant long rant for her in his guest blogger job.  As for me, I am disenchanted with Clinton for many of the same reasons as the Pickled One; but I don’t feel as angry with her (yet).  All the same, for the […]

…..and then he gifted me with a roll of toilet paper embellished with the face of George W. Bush and “bushisms” printed on each little sheet. Now, the amusing part is that my very good chiropractor/physical therapist is a Republican and an excellent man. He is a devoted father and a very skilled […]
