I stand with them.

When I registered to vote, I was so proud to mark myself as a member of the Republican Party. I was proud to carry my voter’s registration card in my wallet and I was proud to vote for George W. Bush. Both times. When I renewed my driver’s license, I decided to change my partyContinue reading “I stand with them.”

How to Stimulate the Economy…or Just Your Brain

Yesterday as I was eating lunch, I flipped on Fox News to see what was going on in the world.  Apparently, the economy’s in the crapper.  If I didn’t know it from the news ticker on the bottom of my TV screen, surely each and every story would have clued me in.  I got toContinue reading “How to Stimulate the Economy…or Just Your Brain”

Stuffing McCain Across the Great Political Divide

McCain’s Shrewd VP Pick – “Coldest State/Hottest Governor”

My apathy has turned into excitement!  Whether you’re routing for Obama or McCain, you have to admit that it’s been an interesting week in politics. As I watched Barack Obama speak at the Democratic National Convention last night, I couldn’t belp but cry a little.  Not beacuse I was moved by his speech, but byContinue reading “McCain’s Shrewd VP Pick – “Coldest State/Hottest Governor””

I Went Indie

Yup, now I’m indie.  I made the decision a lot time ago, but finally executed it today when I got picture taken for my new driver’s license.  Since changing my political party was an easy touch of a button, I did it.  I wanted to do it for a while, but changing from Republican toContinue reading “I Went Indie”

Eliot Spitzer, would you resign already?

(Left) Silda Spitzer stands by her man as he apologizes to the public. Ironically, he doesn’t say for what he’s apologizing. Doesn’t his facial expression just say it all?

Faith Beyond Politics

Maybe I’m not a horrible Christian after all. According to the Barna Group, born-again Christians are less likely to vote for Republican candidates. The group says that if the election were held today, more Christians would vote for the Democratic Party Presidential nominee, even if it was Hillary Clinton!!! (Read study here and thanks toContinue reading “Faith Beyond Politics”
