Fisker Automobile Recall

I recently wrote a short piece about the Fisker automobile – being backed by our government’s $529,000 loan guarantees – in Down the Drain – A Prediction. Well, it looks like there’s already a problem with this $103,000 luxury car. All 239 cars have been recalled because of a potential fire hazard. There are recalls […]
Good Christian Belles

Earlier in the year I wrote an article entitled “Good Christian Bitches:” High Concept/Low Blow about a new television series. The series is based on a book by Kim Gatlin. While the name may be acceptable as a book title, I didn’t get why the ABC network would use the original name which, to me, […]

I See Dumb People

Well, the nanny state is alive and well – at least in the hearts of Democrat Senators Frank Lautenberg, Dick Durbin, Sherrod Brown and Jeff Merkley. They’re trying to urge the Food & Drug Administration to ban “flavored cigars.” I’d never heard of flavored cigars nor had I heard of flavored cigarettes which were banned […]

Although I’ll have to admit the Department of Motor Vehicles has cleaned up its act and made things move along more smoothly, I stand by my words. Recently, I read even more […]
Merry Christmas!
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Blessed and Merry Christmas.

Day after day I read stories about how people are scamming the government. Here’s another example. For the last eight years, a couple in nearby Seattle, Lyudmila Shimonova and her chiropractor husband David Silverstein, received $1200 in monthly public housing vouchers, state and federal welfare checks, state and federal disability checks and food stamps while […]
I See Dumb People

I don’t know about you, but it still bothers me to have to listen to people on their cell phones and have to see lighted phones in dark theatres while people text while a performance is going on. I think it’s rude and I’m not interested in hearing other people’s conversations although many seem to […]
