Politics

I am a person before I am a platform. Just give me some freaking FACTS for a change.

In Honor of Presidents and . . . 4th Meal

Friends, country bumpkins, and fellow American citizens.  President’s Day means a little something different to each of us.  For some, its a 3 or 4 day weekend.  For others, it is time to buy a car for too much money but be convinced you got a good deal because it came with free hot dogs […]

Why I am Voting for Obama (instead of Romney, Paul, Barnett or Anderson) in 2012

Yes, I am a registered Republican.  No, I had no intention of voting for Obama in a gazillion years. But I did the research to the best of my ability and this is where I ended up.  So be it – see my Google Spreadsheet Doc for my primitive scoring method 😀  (Note: Google Docs is chopping

BofA Bank of Attitude (You thought I mean Bank of America?)

Bank of America asked me to fill out a survey.  They suck.  And my survey reflects that, but I was very careful to mark the representative who assisted me very highly because they did the best they could with the lame tools made available by Bank of America.  You see, I’ve been paying on time

Fort Hood, A Profile of One

I read this article by Steve Chapman, cautioning folks to not denounce the Muslim community because of extremists, and I think it bears repeating.  America has over 900 hate-based organizations.  One of the major categories includes “Christian-based” hate groups that cause violence at abortion clinics, harass non-white ethnicities, and tell gays and lesbians, “God has a
