First, let me say I am sitting here typing prior to 7am as February is coming in like the lion March is suppose to be. My kids have snow day although there may be little snow happening. I can hear the sleet and freezing rain on the windows now which means I will most likely,… Continue reading CNN’s Democratic Debate
The one thing I left out of my lengthy diatribe about the GOP debate from January 30th is the timetable debate or name calling. Again, this was a discussion (again, I hope irony or sarcasm in blog terms comes from italics) between John McCain and Mitt Romney. Who else would it have been between since I think… Continue reading The Timetable Debate
Probably the only thing I liked about last night’s GOP debate was the setting. No one could have picked a beautiful and more significant location than the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Setting the four potential nominees in front of Air Force One from the Reagan era and having Nancy Regan in the front row was… Continue reading CNN’s Republican Debate
Okay, I went to the dictionary. The synonyms for the word debate in the noun format are argument, controversy, disputation, contention. I guess I am way off, then, in saying that the recent “no rules” debates held on CNN are not what they should be. I delved further looking to see why I always thought… Continue reading Just what is a debate?
Or, in this case, the difference between democrat and republican. Today, I listened to two different candidates for their party’s presidential nominations withdraw from the races. The differences in the speeches these two men gave were vast. John Edwards spoke of his vision, his life’s purpose, the issues that had been the pinnacle of his… Continue reading The Difference Between Day and Night
Or so I thought when I awoke this morning. Believe it or not, here where the jokes are that we can count the days with sunshine on our fingers and toes the sun is shining brightly. That having been said, weather is a huge part of this wonderful (Does italics donate sarcasm in writing? I… Continue reading Just Another Winter Day
I am not a believer in litagious behaviour. I do think that our country would be in better shape if the answer to every alleged wrong was not a law suit. That having been said, if I were a registered democrat in either Michigan or Florida, I would be clamoring for a lawyer or the… Continue reading How do you feel if you are a democrat in Michigan or Florida?
I did not expect any lame duck president to give a State of the Union address that lasted over an hour. It seems that George W Bush is finally going to lay down the law to the Democratic Congress as the imperative that elected them is diminishing. A few little things that annoyed me to… Continue reading State of the Union
If any endorsement has made me think I should further investigate Barrack Obama, it was the Kennedy endorsement in the NY Times that did it. No, I am not referring to Senator Ted Kennedy. I already told you that I laughed so hard at his endorsement and the irony involved in it, my stomach hurt. … Continue reading The Other Kennedy Endorsement
I cannot believe that I was the only one watching Senator Ted Kennedy today as he endorsed Barrack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination who was thinking of the irony in what Kennedy had to say. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the words Kennedy was professing that I had a stomach… Continue reading Kennedy Endorses Obama
