Like many people I know, this primary season marks the most active I’ve ever been in the electoral process since reaching the age of 18 when I was first able to vote. I have always voted and will always do so, even if for no other reason than out of respect for the many people who [...]

Support for Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Posted in Uncategorized on March 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If Rev. Wright was the man he is portrayed as being through the media’s repeated playing of a few snippets from entire sermons that have been linked together to give the desired impression, then I doubt very seriously that he would have been invited to an event at the White House by former President Bill Clinton.

I am not a fan of “The View,” but Sen. Obama was recently on this program and gave a brilliant, inciteful interview. He discussed several topics, including addressing yet again the topic of how the media has wrongfully characterized Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Here are the videos of the interview: Sen. Obama on “The View” March 28, 2008 – [...]

My daily drive in traffic from my son’s school to work can be quite challenging. The building I work in is ten minutes away from the school, yet it takes me twenty (on a good day), thirty, or sometimes forty minutes to get there. One of the things that helps me to not focus on [...]

Something Shared By A Friend

I don’t know who the author of this is, but a good friend shared this with me because she knew I would want to post it on my blog. She was right! I haven’t verified the truth of all of the references to the names of the inventors, but I recognize most of them and am [...]

Once again, I have not been able to spend as much time on this blog as I would like, and so I have several things that I am going to try to post at some point today. One of the things that I have wanted to share for a couple of weeks now is concerning the [...]
Save Yourself….

I became aware of this after reading through the free download of Suzy Orman’s book, Women and Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny. I haven’t read the entire book yet, but this is definitely my favorite part so far: she has an arrangement with TD Ameritrade for a special offer that expires on [...]
