Well, Super Tuesday arrives finally. Due to my schedule, I voted today, a day early. The lines were long. Even though Arkansas has so few delegates, the people are excited about the chance to vote for either a woman or an African American. I have to admit the choice was hard. History is being made with this election. And I can only hope that whichever way it ends, the candidate will win in November. Bought milk lately? Thanks, W!

hey yall. been awhile. But after my week at the beach, I've come up with some rants and ramblings that need to be said. But, first, Happy New Year! I truly hope that you have a great year and that at least some of your dreams come true. 1. Smokers who throw their cigarette butts on a beach: there is a special hell for you where you will be forced to pick up nasty cigarette butts from a beach forever. No matter how many you pick up, there will always be more. How disgusting is it to walk along a sandy white beach and see cigarette butt after cigarette butt in the sand, in the waves. Clue: just because there is sand that doesn't make it an ashtray. 2. Drivers who drive slow in the fast lane. Stop it! There is a slow lane for a reason. What makes you think that you are so special that you can drive in the fast lane no matter what? huh? I'm just curious. 3. Baggy pants. To you guys who persist in wearing those baggy britches: WHY? Ladies notice how a guy looks in ...

well, well, well.... as I have watched the news lately, I have noticed that a lot of the cheap toys from China are being recalled because the toys contain lead. And as our congress begins to look at changing the way the CPSC regulates and monitors, we see the head of the agency standing against those changes. And then, we read why: from MNSBC: But CPSC officials defend the industry-paid trips as a way for the agency to be in contact with manufacturing officials and hear their concerns despite a limited travel budget. Commission spokeswoman Julie Vallese said the agency's counsel and its ethics officers conducted "a full conflict-of-interest analysis" of the trips and stand behind their decisions. "The mission of the agency and the benefits to consumer safety are two factors that are taken into consideration in approving gift travel," she said. Reports of the trips are submitted to the Office of Government Ethics, she added. Several ethics ...

California is not going to fall off into the ocean, it's just going to burn up. I can't imagine what those folks are going thru. I know that my mom and dad lost a house to fire before I was born, and I know that growing up with a wood burning stove, I often would lie awake at night and plan on what to take with me when the house caught fire. And it did several times. They call them flu fires. And the terror never goes away. I think about all the animals, and I just shake my head and pet my cats a few more times. and where is the National guard in all of this? apparently a lot of them are in Iraq, and a lot of their equipment is there also, or outdated, or in need of repair. But out money is going to Iraq. Billions of dollars. Trillions of dollars. And we Americans have to suffer because of it. How many decades will Americans have to work to get out of this ever climbing debt? How many lives lost for a fraud of a war? We shouldn't be there. We need to be here.

well, well, well.... you probably know that the Republican party and George W. Bush vetoed the health insurance bill that would have provided children in middle class families insurance? and you heard about the attack tactics of those same people? putting addresses of children who either spoke up in support, or their families spoke up in support of the bill? Or running an add that pretty much said the parents of a 3 year old who had had to have major surgery shouldn't have been born if her parents could not afford her? Oh, wait! WAIT a MINUTE! so, people shouldn't have kids unless they can afford them? This from the same party that calls themselves "PRO-LIFE"? WHAT? So, they want you to have kids only if you can afford them, but they also want you to never have an abortion? So, I'm confused. Are you? The Democratic party has always said that we should be responsible for those who have less. That there are those in society who need an extra hand. We want to ...
