The weekend news that the Obama Administration negotiated with the Taliban for the release of one American for five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay’s Gitmo means each and every American now has a target painted on his chest or her back. There are areas, if not countries, whose sole income comes via the kidnapping […]

I will never forget the comment an Israeli made to me about our Memorial Day. “In Israel, on the day we honor our dead, at a certain time, everything and everyone comes to a stop. All traffic just stops and people bow their head in memory of their dead. Here you have three day sales.” […]
I woke from a bad dream around 5:00 a.m. Unable to go back to sleep, I got up, hit the button on the coffee pot, fed the cat and the dog, and turned on The Bill Bennett Show, which can be found here. I enjoy Bill’s show. He’s quiet, thoughtful and measured. But since it […]
For those of you who feel that spiritual people should always be sweetness and light, you have another think coming your way. Proceed at your own risk. You may get run over by a howling, rabid HuntMode. Okay, I’m starting to feel better. Not quite there yet – still need to cry out to the […]
After 12 years post September 11, 2001, what have we learned? The purpose of terrorism is to sow terror, to sow doubt, to undermine peoples’ faith in their governments. Why? To accomplish whatever long term goal the terrorist or group has in mind. It is a tool, not an end. It is a means to […]
Hat tip from Grey Enigma: EPA climate-change guru charged with lying…. dumbfounding. Again. You can read the NBC news story here.

As more information comes out re the consequences of Obamacare and the implementation of a bill no one read, fixes no one did or thought of, results no one imagined, I am left scratching my head in puzzlement and wonder. Does it take a genius to understand economics? Maybe just some straight up education and […]
I was speaking with my neighbor, who hates politics. Like me, if she paid attention at all, it was at the national level. I am very disappointed with our representatives in D.C. But here, locally, we vote politicians into their first offices and by voting in good, honest, hardworking fellow citizens, we set the bar […]
Secretary of Health & Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, addressed concerns this past week and Saturday Night Live highlights them – guaranteed you will laugh. Watch it while you can (see my P.S. below): P.S.: It was curious in tracking this video down for display here that the only source was CNN’s one minute comment. Found […]
