April Sucks
April is ending and I am not sorry to see it go. I’m behind at work, in school and on my weight loss program. This April definitely sucked. Share on Facebook
“Number one, we inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit. … That wasn’t me.”
Yeah, Barack, that was you. What our President surely knows (and what most people who voted for either don’t or don’t want to recall) is that Congress controls the purse. Congress, controlled by Democrats, have been in charge of the checking account now for going on two and a half years. Granted, I was greatly [...]
Idiot Of The Week – Louis Caldera
Meet Louis E. Caldera, director of the White House Military Office. Mr. Caldera, late last week, approved an Air Force mission that would send the plane which serves as the backup for Air Force One flying a thousand feet above Manhattan, escorted by two F-16s, for a photo op. Panic ensued when the aircraft appeared [...]
A Goodbye To Harry
Last Saturday, April 18, I was in the Philadelphia area helping Cupcake’s daughter Lindsey and her husband move into their new house.

We entered a cavernous warehouse filled to [...]

Off The Wagon
When they say it’s a lifestyle change, you don’t realize what that means until you revert back to the old lifestyle. Last Thursday, Cupcake and I went up to the Philadelphia area to help her daughter and son-in-law move into their new house. As Lindsey’s company paid for top notch movers, there wasn’t a whole [...]
Makin’ Me Proud
I was headed to lunch with Cupcake today when I swung past the Jefferson County Courthouse. There, in the pouring rain, were about a hundred folks packed onto the lawn, protesting taxes. Lil’ ole Charles Town, West Virginia….makin my proud. Share on Facebook
Education Reform, Teacher’s Union Style
From President Obama’s speech today, at Georgetown, on the “new foundation” of our economy: “The second pillar of this new foundation is an education system that finally prepares our workers for a 21st century economy. In the 20th century, the GI Bill sent a generation to college, and for decades, we led the world in [...]
