Idiotic Legacy

This Adminstration, which I will remember for starting a war, which has left 320,000 Americans with traumatic brain injuries, is not done.
Our leaders our now after our most vulnerable group: animals. First, they made it harder to add new species to Endangered Species Act of 1973. Then, unlike previous administrations, they stopped adding new [...]

Who Voted For Ted Stevens?

Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), best known for financing “the bridge to nowhere”, and describing the Internet as, “not a big truck, but a series of tubes”, was found guilty of corruption last week.
But despite his seven felony convictions, Stevens appears to have been re–elected, with 96% of the votes counted. And just like Larry [...]

America Wins

My faith in America was restored last night, when Obama became our next President.
It was a simple choice.
McCain wants to start wars, and Obama wants to end them.
I never want to hear Sarah Palin say, “Drill Baby, Drill!” again.
Thomas Jefferson said, “Freedoms which have been lost, are not easily regained.” However, if Americans continue [...]

Did You Vote?

Today was the first time I ever waited to vote in Lexington, too. Polls here opened at 6 A.M. While Larry and I were waiting to vote, we were told that over [...]

Ditch Mitch

Please spend a few hours volunteering, to help Ditch Mitch on Tuesday.
Volunteer Rally
Former Governors Martha Layne Collins and John Y. Brown want to Ditch Mitch, and I do too! Please join us tomorrow at [...]

Lepp was arrested because (surprise!) his plants were visible from a [...]

Download A Documentary

Slacker Uprising is the latest documentary by Michael Moore, who has produced, and directed, three of the five highest grossing documentaries of all time. He is best known for Fahrenheit 9/11 which explains how President Bush used the events of September 11, 2001 to gain public support to invade Iraq.
Slacker Uprising follows Moore, as [...]

Vice Presidents

This, the third item on my list is also easy. No – not easy, but straightforward. Which describes Girardi situation too.
Why Biden?
I used to find news depressing, now it is just confusing. Consider this:
During an English class at Kingsborough Community College, a student was caught plagiarizing a magazine article, and forced to repeat the [...]
