I Don't Get It

Last week a huge controversy broke out over the use of a particular photo of Boston terrorist, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, by Rolling Stone magazine.  A lot of people thought the use of that particular photo, showing a “sexy” Tsarnaev, rewarded him with “celebrity” status while I’m sure the lunatics who think this creep is innocent, loved [...]

Since the day Trayvon Martin was shot, all I’ve heard are screams for “justice.”  What exactly does that mean? According to my dictionary, justice means, “n. 1.a. The principle of moral rightness; equity.  b. Conformity to moral rightness in action or attitude; righteousness.  2. The upholding of what is just, esp. fair treatment and due [...]

I love America’s Got Talent.  Watching it puts a smile on my face.  But what I’ve noticed is that some of the contestants LOVE to tell a hard luck story which, in my mind, is a plea for a pity vote.  This is not unique to AGT.  American Idol is a far worse offender of [...]

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July!  This is a wonderful holiday to spend with family and friends, enjoying the freedoms we’re blessed with in this country. At least once during the day, I hope you take the time to say a prayer for or thank [...]

Up until a week ago, I didn’t know anything about Paula Deen except I always thought she had great hair.  I’ve never seen her show, I don’t subscribe to her magazine and I don’t have any of her cookbooks.  After last week, and her admission that over two decades ago she used racial slurs, her [...]

When I read articles or online posts about people doing a horrible job raising their children, I can’t help but think we’re really circling the drain.  This great country is being overrun with uninformed, misinformed, stupid people who are breeding at an alarming rate.  Worse yet, many of them have no problem displaying their inadequacies [...]

I’ve posted this for the last two years.  I thought it was worth posting again. My parents had me and my brother late in life (but not by today’s standards).  When I was born in 1951, my father was 46, my mother 38.  By 1960, my father was a widower raising an 8-year girl and [...]

I posted this article last year and thought it fitting to post it again today. In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. No other topic gets [...]

I thought we heard enough from the food police disguised as the First Lady and the Mayor of NYC.  Well, I was wrong.  We now have a 9-year old “scolding” the CEO of McDonald’s for not wanting kids to be healthy so they can live long and happy lives. Yes, Hannah Robertson, whose mother is [...]

I guess this kind of stuff makes for good tv – people love to laugh.  Well, it’s one thing to laugh at a comedian or at stupid animal tricks, but we’re talking about Americans who get to vote! If you’re unfamiliar with some of the names that were thrown out to the people on the [...]
