I never cease to be amazed. Over the past six months here is what the media and the general population have been a buzz over:Birth Control, Abortion, the birth place of the POTUS, Religion, Mrs. Romney's togs, same sex marriage etc.. Need I go on? Now what I feel we should n …

Help out a confused older fellow here....

As any that may have perused my ramblings will acknowledge, when it comes to matters of the individual I have a hands off approach. It confuses me that when so much ails our Country, there are those that seem to make personal matters a subject of National debate. Below are my fav …

The Color of Bones

There are certain social issues that one would think should be long in our collective review mirrors. The one that seems to rear it's ugly head just when you might think we have put it behind us, are matters of race. For as long as I may happen to live, this is the one subje …

Dear Santa.....

Dear Santa Claus: I know it has been some time since I last wrote you, but to be honest since you did not bring the pony I requested back in 1957 I have been a bit miffed.

I am a tad confused.....

My political ears first pricked up in the early sixties, it was during the Kennedy/Nixon campaign and quite a heady time on the world stage. What struck me as odd was that many eschewed J.F.K., not due to his youth or experience but because he was ...... a Catholic.

The 1%, the 99% and the 9%

Now we all are quite aware of which strata is representative of the 1% and the 99%. But I must ask whom are the 9%. That would be the 9% that approve of the job that our present Congress has performed (or not performed).

Let them eat muffins!

Just when I feel there is nothing further that the fiscal irresponsibility of our government can do to enrage me, another act of complete idiocy is revealed. As I viewed the evening news on Wednesday (NBC), it was reported that an audit had turned up expenditures by the Dept.

A land where anyone can become president.......Not!

Although I have carped about this on prior occasions, I am so bothered by it I feel the need to opine once again. When the 2012 presidential election is concluded, it is estimated that both candidates will have spent approx.

In defense of America

Before I begin allow me to say that I have nothing but admiration and respect for those that serve in our military so that we may all sleep well at night. With the upcoming budget reduction talks just around the corner, those involved are scrambling about searching for those item …

When you are about to give up....Joplin,MO

Outsourcing...Could it be the answer?

As all of us realize, over the past forty years we have  watched as our manufacturing, industrial bases and the jobs that go with them have been dismantled and sent overseas.

Supertankers,Porsches and the Tea Party caucus...

Congress: The gift that keeps on giving......

As you are all aware congress has adjourned for a well deserved break (after all screwing up a government and a economy is exhausting work indeed), but although they may be gone for a time the legacy of their recent buffoonery yet remains.

Have the scales been lifted from Thine eyes......yet?

Whether your ideological leanings are to the left, right or center (myself) one thing has become quite evident as a result of the ongoing debt ceiling discussions, the GOP does not serve the people (the Dems only slightly).

"Brother can you spare a dime?"....Er, could you make that five dollars?

Last Sunday as I was about to enter the local super market a fellow on a bench in front called out to me. Being a product of the city I quickly assessed him, deemed him harmless (although you never know these days) and engaged him.
