Where Did My Brain Go?

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 [...]

I am delighted that Americans are turning out in record numbers today to vote, because this is the most important election of my lifetime.
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” is my favorite campaign slogan. “Mitch” is Mitch McConnell, Republican Senate Majority Leader, who was first elected in 1984.
Please spend a few hours volunteering, to help Ditch Mitch on Tuesday.

Slacker Uprising follows Moore, as [...]

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 [...]

Joe Girardi, the manager of New York Yankees, is the easiest subject on my list. However, his simplicity belies his importance around here, because this is the first time I ever written about baseball.
Miami Springs, Florida
Girardi only had one year of managerial experience before Yankees. In 2006, he led Florida Marlins to 78 wins, [...]

Hurray for September! I hope My Summer Meltdown is finally over.
I ended my own summer yesterday, after injuring my hip and lower back. I return <sigh> to Physical Therapy in a week.
This is a new kind of injury for me. It hurts the most, when I am sitting on a chair, and try to [...]
