North Korea Has the Right to Bear Arms

Yeah I said it. The big bad (insert communist, fascist, whatever interchangeable term applies) country dares to flex their defense muscles and build arms. Is it a little scary – yes – but it’s their right. North Korea is a sovereign nation. Shall I repeat that?! I know our President wants to instate an international [...]

The Obamas Go to Europe: The World Sighs in Relief

Take that Republicans, so-called feminists stuck on their white privilege, the permanently discontented, the show me the $$$ folks and whomever else has a concern, beef or “doubts” about the Obamas!! They rock! For all the arguments and fake outrage over Michelle’s arms, hairstyle and whether she’s refined these matters of importance have been put [...]

Unfiltered Views on the (Latest) Middle East-Related Conflicts

I don’t expect to see this being critically examined on my nightly news. Dismiss it if you will but this is definitely food for thought. Particularly in light of the economic instability spending $9B + annually on military aid for other nations is costing US taxpayers. Amongst other expenditures. We are responsible for allowing [...]

Let the Sliming Begin

NO ONE DESERVES TO BE SHOT IN THE BACK. I say this from personal experience. Boy, that didn’t take long. As the amateur but harrowing video of the shooting of Oscar Grant gets played worldwide, the push back by the police begins. Apparently there’s no peace for the dead as his arrest record has [...]

Playing Chess In the Dark: Ending Our Dependence On Oil

Gaza Funeral “I will set a clear goal as president: in ten years we will finally end our dependence on oil in the Middle East.” If the President-Elect can make serious in-roads in that campaign promise we will have “peace” in the Middle East. We can redirect the $9B+ in aid and untold Billions [...]

A Very Heartfelt Letter of Gratitude

One of the charities I donate to is Women for Women International and I received a message from its President. This organization helps women in foreign war-torn areas rebuild their lives. I was so moved I had to share it with you all. Sometimes all we need is a bit of perspective to remind ourselves how [...]

Why I Think Critics Panned The Day the Earth Stood Still

So I wouldn’t usually care about these things because all the parties involved have been paid for their work, but I went to see this movie last night only to hear it’s been universally panned. Not that I rely on what a few paid hacks have to say about a film. After all, didn’t one [...]

Beware the Herd Mentality

I watched the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side detailing the approval of torture of detainees (the abducted) by the US military. The Geneva Convention and Habeas Corpus have been thrown out the window. Mass hysteria caused by witnessing the horror of seeing the Towers come down or of seeing people jump from those buildings [...]

Preoccupied By Economic Manipulation & Political Theatrics We Might Miss WWIII

This is a scene out of a Spaghetti Western. The firing squad has formed and is closing in on its target. Ready. Aim. You know the rest. As the USA spirals downward lets just say a few world leaders are probably snickering under their breath and wondering why it took so long. If Osama bin [...]

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 [...]
