I have a new 4-letter word to add to the list of words that drive me bonkers – Hate. I know, pretty radical word, isn’t it? Let me explain. Let’s take a little trip back in time, you know, to save the future and all. During the run up to the 2008 Presidential election, it ...

Warning right up front: this post will probably be offensive to some. I’m just trying to take an honest approach and share my thoughts. They are by NO MEANS gospel. You have been warned.

Just thought I’d give an update on my 2009 Goals post. I finished the Obama Nation probably in either late January or early February. Scary stuff. A big part of means wants to say, “I told you so,” when it comes to Obama. It seems to the he wants us all to be completely dependent ...

Does anyone else find it funny that President Obama is echoing John McCain’s September 2008 claims that, “the fundamentals of our economy our strong”?

2009

My biggest pet peeve is when people do not pay any sort of respect during the national anthem. It really irks me to no end. Just read today that is part of the US code that you must put your hand over your heart when the anthem is played and a flag is visible. What ...
