This August should prove very interesting.  Why, you might ask?  Because the RNC will be happening here in Tampa, Florida.  A place with not the greatest tolerance for protesters.

While the Republican hordes descend upon us, here in the Tampa Bay Area.  I am sure there are also go… Read full post »

Well, I don't get on here much anymore. Ever since I “unsubscribed” from Salon. I no longer get updates for OS.

Maybe this is a good thing, as I have more time to think about what I want to write about. However if you know me at all,… Read full post »

This healthcare stuff really makes my blood boil. To believe that we have the best healthcare system in the world, has to mean you are on some kind of strong drugs!

I have posted here before about my frustrations with the healthcare people. For years… Read full post »

I just discovered  a new scam, the hard way!

For convenience sake, I have automatic bill pay for my cellphone with T-Mobile.  Today I noticed that my account was charged more than the normal amount.  So I went online and looked at my account.  To my surprise there were something c… Read full post »

Well, today was the last straw.  I unsubscribed from the Salon main page.  It is totally impossible to read anything on Salon, or to even try and contact them!  Every time I go there, my browser crashes and I have to restart my computer.  Don't they understand about advertising, a… Read full post »

Like so many other websites, Salon has finally sold it's soul!

What do I mean by saying it's sold it's soul.  Well it has nothing to do about the new design, which is glaringly in poor taste. 

My complaint is that they have integrated all their "social content" ( read advertising… Read full post »

My Obamacare story starts awhile before it was enacted, actually it starts a few years before. When my Dad started showing signs of Old Age Dementia, I decided it was time to bring him under my roof.… Read full post »

I'm not sure whether to call it a "post apocalyptic dream", a nightmare or just a dream about a future I really fear.  Of course I have embellished, but isn't that a writers prerogative?

The Future that could be Ours… Read full post »

Lately, I have had it with Cable TV!

First we had the so called History Channel, talking about German UFO's, then we had the Discovery Channel and 2012.  Now we have National Geographic, wasting their time on Doomsday preppers!

Why is anyone willing to waste time on these nutcases… Read full post »

The picture  tells it all!

An American soldier, took it into his own hands, to massacre innocent Afghan civilians.  What could have gone through his mind?  I'm sorry, but I don't buy the "Post Traumatic Stress" theory.

Gas prices are rising once again. As usual we are given excuses like Iran, supply and demand. What they don't talk about much is the Keystone Pipeline.

They ( read Republicans ) have cleverly diverted attention to contraception, and the Catholic Church.   Never mind that they are… Read full post »

Today I posted a few comments that I regret.  Did I really say that?

Well, lately I have done more reading than posting.  I have lost interest in this country for the most part.  Having decided that a large portion of the populace are either very, very stupid, or they are… Read full post »

So, it looks like we could end up with a Tea Party favorite running against President Obama in November.

I have been trying to come up with an idea for a bumper sticker.  It would read something like " A Tea Party Win = 

I had originally thought of  If the… Read full post »

I watched President Obama's speech last night. Once again he tried to reconcile what he has done for this country against the obstruction, he has in the Republican Senate. He tried to explain, the good that has happened since he became President. He also chastised… Read full post »

Recently I have read reports in the German newspapers about the problems the EU is having with Hungary. Yesterday I was listening to an NPR program, in which they were talking about the exodus of young people and intellectuals from Hungary. So today I googled “trouble in Hungary&rdquo… Read full post »

You know, I really have little to say anymore about all this stuff.  The Republican candidates are  a bunch of idiots, morons and imbeciles.  So there is really no point in writing anything about any of them!  They are not worth the paper nor ink.

I subscribe to a few Republican… Read full post »

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Thank God for rainy days!

We all have dreams.  Not the kind that you have at night, I mean dreams of things we would like to do.  I think they call it a Bucket List, these days.
