I Will Remember You

There’s going to be lots of tributes and discussions today on the 7th anniversary of September 11th. I remember being asleep and hearing the word ‘bomb’ on the radio. I immediately jumped up cos when you live in earthquake land a prompt response is necessary. I had no idea what was going on and still [...]

Gimme A Break!

So I am feeling a wee bit cantankerous over this alleged love fest with the pig-in-lipstick aka Sarah Palin and some women voters. Hey, she started it with her (actually her MALE handlers’) written speech containing that ridiculous comparison of dogs and mothers. I have no children or pets but felt sufficiently offended on behalf [...]

Are the Republicans in League with Corporate Media to Steal Another Election?

THE CHARGE: Gross distortion of the truth and the media cover-up to keep people in the dark. THE EVIDENCE: Bogus charges of ‘sexism’ for holding Palin accountable like any other politician; Not speaking to the press or answering any questions; Scheduled ABC interview where questions have already been pre-selected and she can skip the ones [...]

While You Were Sleeping More Financial Institutes Went Bust!

**Update 1130am Washington Mututal CEO gets the axe…but still has a golden parachute. While we’re all being intentionally distracted by the latest celebrity scandals, disasters and bogus political intrigues there have been a record number of banks and finance companies gone kaplooey. We’re not just talking about Bear Stearns and Countrywide, but upwards of [...]

Now This Is What A Surrogate Does

So I’m settling in for my weekly viewing of “Real Time with Bill Maher“ on HBO to get my kicks and jollies of this week’s political foibles. I really enjoy Bill’s sarcasm and wit not withstanding the cringe-factor of some of his jokes. I am so glad he is back from his hiatus. In a [...]

Update Monday 9/8: Crown her “Queen of the tennis circuit”! Serena has won and reclaimed her #1 Ranking! You go girl!!!! She may have surrendered this year’s Wimbledon title to big sister Venus but only one player stands between her and a 9th Grand Slam championship. I am in awe of this amazing athlete and [...]

John McCain is a Windbag

Update 346am: Yes the speech was that bad. “I don’t work for a party,” he said. “I don’t work for a special interest. I don’t work for myself. I work for you.” Wow….what a liar! Don’t fall for the bs. ******

Ok I don’t even have to listen to the entire speech to guess what [...]

Republican VP Pick as Palindrome

Yes This may Be a play On Gov. Sarah’s last name But make no mistake It still reads the same. Though she may have a uterus She is no friend to us She’d have us back in the home Barefoot and Pregnant or Beggars of the State She is a puppet and Willing participant Of [...]

I Just Had A Weird Dream

I was outside at night. The neighborhood was very rough. I was wearing a brown jacket and a white skirt. Perhaps it was suede – but this is how I knew I was dreaming, lol. It was that deep REM when you feel as if you’re having an out of body experience. I couldn’t wake [...]
