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.

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 …

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?

"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.
