That’s the day that the combat mission in Iraq will end, thanks to President Obama. I realize that some Democrats are not satisfied with the withdrawal because 35-50 thousand troops will stay behind to support counter-terrorism duties for a period of time after the official withdrawal. However, please keep in mind that although many consider the Korean War [...]

If that’s the case, the Republicans need to keep brainstorming because Bobby Jindal is not the answer. Oh, and as a note to Gov. Jindal: Going by the name “Bobby” does not mean that America is going to think about Bobby Kennedy, smile, and be won over by you. So, did any of you [...]

There’s nothing like coming home after having “a Monday” at work, having a bit to eat and watching a movie that couldn’t be any more serious. I have just spent nearly the past hour and a half of holding back tears… and no, it wasn’t watching Forrest Gump… I caught that one (for probably the [...]

I will admit that I do halfway pay attention to the Oscars. Every year when it comes on, I have it play in the background while I’m doing other things. As for the other awards shows… I couldn’t really be bothered to even have it on television. Call it an attitude problem, but I think [...]

I just came across an article written about Socks the Former First Cat. He had passed away today at the age of twenty. Granted any feline living for twenty years is quite a long life. However, no matter how old a four-legged member of the family is, their passing is still a terrible loss. [...]

All day I have seen the headlines that President Obama is going to send 75 billion dollars towards helping out in the mortgage crisis in an effort to help put a stop to foreclosures. I understand the economics behind it and the theory that by helping out on the mortgage front, will help the overall [...]

Apparently President Bush isn’t the worst President ever according to a new survey done by C-SPAN. He came in at number thirty-six. Gee, I’m surprised he wasn’t dead last. Not surprisingly, President Lincoln came in as number one. Good for him. If you want to read about some of the the other folks and their [...]

I would like to wish a happy 200th birthday to two people I look up to: Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Both men made a great impact to mankind. Unless you’re the type of person who flies a Confederate flag outside, believes that Earth has only been around for 6,000 years and that the first [...]

There has always been one sport that has held a special spot in my heart: baseball. I love baseball. The only time that I wished that I could have been male was when I found out that only boys play baseball and girls were stuck with softball… I really don’t like softball. The love of [...]

I’ve been tagged by Catherine. 1. Go to the fourth picture folder on your computer. 2. Post the fourth picture in that folder. 3. Explain the picture. 4. Tag four more bloggers. I hope you weren’t planning on seeing a picture of something halfway serious. This picture of the Pet Comfort Area was taken at [...]

Since the day I picked up my first part-time job, I have paid taxes. Come February of each year, I look forward to sending my tax forms out and waiting for my envelopes to appear from my state and from the federal government. (Yes, I’m old fashioned when it comes to taxes.) As I have [...]

I think many of us have heard the news stories about how unemployment is on the rise and the economy continues to head south. Last week, President Obama criticized the multi-million dollar bonuses that execs on Wall Street received while bailouts are being handed out and thousands are losing their jobs. I have found myself [...]
