Chik-fil-A Lunacy: Both Sides Need to Get a Grip

I was not going to write about this. I really wasn’t. But it just won’t die and my opinionated little self cannot go any longer without putting my 2 cents in.  Even though 1 penny is going to annoy one side and they other penny is going to agitate the other side. First, whose bright idea was it for the Mayor of Boston to write a letter suggesting that Chik-fil-A not establish a store there?  And why on God’s green earth would anyone think that was enforceable let alone a good idea? Elected officials cannot decide to deny commerce...

The Beginning of Friendship

I had an epiphany the other day. Don’t laugh. Generally I am too cynical for this kind of epiphany. The kind that closes a circle and explains something to me that is good. It started with a quote. “The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit your own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” -Thomas Merton The person that shared this quote is my oldest friend. In the ensuing conversation, I realized something. She knew this truth as a child....

Finding the Plutocrats

Those of you that know me well know that I generally don’t buy conspiracy theories.  I don’t give much credence to the idea that The New World Order is upon us. Whether you are pushing it as coming from the Bilderberg set or you are the flavor of Christian that is sure that the Anti-Christ walks amongst us. Why? Because people have lived in fear of that since before Christ was born. It has not happened, nor will it in my lifetime. We live in a world where our leadership can’t even agree about who the bad guys are, let...

No this isn’t going to be about that unfortunate Newsweek cover where they announced our first gay president. Although that is worth a post of its own. Just because. What this is about is what the President can and cannot do. And how congress can either help or hinder his effectiveness. The GOP is, of course, grumbling about all kinds of things. Their main claim is that Obama’s policies have harmed the economy. Problem is? The numbers don’t bear this claim out. Let us take a look at what has actually happened and what was happening before he took...

Things That Help Make Ends Meet

This is going to be a departure from my normal eclectic posting style. Yes, I know that eclectic by its very definition means that the collective group is mix and match. However, this is something that I never write about.  I am going to write about jobs and money. Most of my readers probably know that I make the bulk of my income with geeky stuff. What they don’t know is how I supplement that income. I was reading yet another tale of woe from someone who was reduced to working minimum wage after a lay off and it...

Attacks vs. Truth

Apparently because some people took issue with some of the things said about Michelle Obama I am supposed to, nay required to, be squinty about the Rosen comments.  That is what invisible people on the internet keep telling me. It might even be almost true if I had ever weighed into anything said about Michelle Obama. But I haven’t. Search my archives. I have never once weighed into defending her from anything. Frankly she can hold her own. She doesn’t need me to point out Limbaugh or Hannity’s stupidity. But even if I had? No one attacked Ann Romney....
