WHOSE MONEY IS IT, ANYWAY?

If you’re a regular reader of my posts, you’ll know that I have no respect for any of the Kardashian litter, Kim, Khloe or Kourtney.  I’ve always said that the exploits of these three useless twits, the offspring of OJ’s now deceased attorney/friend, Robert Kardashian, is payback for his actions when he met with OJ [...]

Memorial Day – May 30, 2011

A very big thank you to our brave men and women who serve in the military and keep us safe.  My prayers for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  May God bless them and their families.

WHO’S RICH? WHO’S POOR?

Almost eighty Catholic educators recently criticized U.S. House Speaker, John Boehner, due to speak at Washington’s Catholic University.  They claim his record is “among the worst in Congress” when it comes to protecting the poor.  The letter called on Speaker Boehner to “reawaken your familiarity” with church teachings on the subject of poverty.  The letter [...]

U.S. Supreme Court Rules CA Must Release Thousands of Prisoners

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision affirmed a controversial prison reduction plan forced on the California prison system by a 3-judge panel.  Chief Justice John Roberts joined a separate dissent written by Justice Samuel Alito which questioned the wisdom of giving federal judges the authority to run state penal systems. Their dissent also faulted [...]

AT THE PRECIPICE

When I heard Robert Duvall speaking with Mike Huckabee last year about his film, “Get Low,” I knew it was my kind of movie.  It’s the story of a man who wants to throw his own “funeral party” while he’s alive and have people come and tell stories about him and is loosely based on [...]

MOVIES "A LA CART"

I read an article about supermarkets now offering “video-equipped shopping carts.” There’s a screen advertising store products for the parents and a second screen inside the child’s “car” playing videos like “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and “Handy Manny.” My initial reaction was, “do children really need to be exposed to more tv?” But I never had [...]

TECHNOLOGY – AT WHAT COST?

I don’t get texting. I don’t text and I’m not sure my cell phone even has the capacity to text although my husband says it does. Besides, what could possibly be so important when I’m in a grocery store, restaurant or in my car, that I would have to text someone? If I have something [...]

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day!

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day to all those spouses who sacrifice plenty for our country.  I’m unhappy when my husband has to go out of town overnight; I can’t imagine what it would be like if he was away for months and months.

SIGNED ‘SEAL’-ed DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO HELL

I’m so very proud of our military but words can’t express the admiration and deep gratitude I feel towards the Navy Seals who, with razor-sharp precision, infiltrated Bin Laden’s compound and killed him. I say, “good riddance UBL and may you rot in hell with the rest of your cohorts.” So while I’m reading today [...]
