I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
I don’t like Sarah Palin that much (not nearly as much as some people do anyway), and I don’t like Joe Biden, D-MBNA. Having said that, I don’t see how anyone could think Biden won the debate last night. There is no doubt that Joe Biden is more articulate than Sarah Palin. However, almost nothing [...]
You can almost never go to a bank without seeing it. You can’t see a bank commercial without hearing it. “Insured by FDIC.” The bailout bill that the Senate will vote on tonight is different than the one the House voted down two days ago. It raises the FDIC cap from $100,000 to $250,000, among [...]
You can say whatever you like about Republicans– it’s certainly true that they chose a far superior animal symbol than the Democrats did. Can there be any question that elephants win out over donkeys, every time? Tags: elephant, donkey, Republican, Democrat, elephant painting
Many “progressives” see a rise of socialism as a newfound utopia– no suffering, no pain, no having to work all day, no children in trouble, and apparently no consequences, either. This thinking is nothing new. Jerome K. Jerome wrote about it in his short story “The New Utopia” 100 years ago, quite well in my [...]
It’s been an eventful week. Two of my teen idols died. Monday was both the most depressing day of the year and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday celebration/federal holiday. Tuesday was the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, designated as “Blog for Choice Day” by NARAL. I don’t want to get into a long, drawn-out [...]
It wasn’t enough that the Governor’s Mansion the Illinois taxpayers so kindly provide to their governor wasn’t enough for Rod Blagojevich, and he thought every Illinoisan should be happy to pay to fly him in a private plane every day from Chicago for a few hours while he basically does nothing (or maybe sees fit [...]
The New York Times reports that medical doctors now have some of the lowest job satisfaction rates, along with attorneys. One trained medical internist, Dr. Yul Ejnes of Cranston, Rhode Island, reports to the Times that he is wearying of his job due to the many regulations involved, including a recent experience filling out papers [...]
A Joe Lieberman staffer’s reaction when told that Lieberman endorsed John McCain for the presidency: “Oh my God, no. Really?”
I live less than a mile from Elizabeth and John Edwards. All three of us are currently in Iowa campaigning for presidential candidates– they of course for Edwards, and I for a far superior candidate. While reading the latest issue of The Economist, I noticed Elizabeth Edwards trying to give out some pearls of wisdom [...]
The brats at Democratic Underground are concerned and worried about all the Ron Paul signs they’ve seen everywhere, so much so that they advise each other to take down any Ron Paul signs they come across: “just don’t get caught.” One poster does caution the other lemmings against stealing signs, not because it’s wrong or [...]
