First They Came For Smokers …

I quit smoking about five years ago, or so. I’m an addict.  I still want a cigarette,  much the same way a recovering alcoholic wants a drink.  I fight it all the time. 
I quit smoking because I wasn’t going to pay the taxes and increased insurance. When I started smoking, Salem Lights, a pack was [...]

Campaign of Fear

Caribbean nations face “very, very scary” rises in sea level and intensifying hurricanes, and Florida, Louisiana and even northern California could be overrun with rising water levels due to global warming triggered by carbon-based greenhouse gases, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Saturday.

Time Management

Obviously it has been some time since I was regularly posting.  I’m sorry about that.

Can Pelosi talk when she’s teabaggin’?

So, it’s ok to make sex jokes about protesters when they are protesting something you don’t give a flying shit about. 

I just want to know what the standard is so I can live up to it.  You know, so when Patriots for Peace stand around with their fake, bullshit signs I [...]

Tea Party – Charleston, West Virginia

 
I attended, and no paying the price.  The damp and cold have caused a flair in my fibromyalgia and arthritis problems. Not to mention tromping around on the concrete.
Contrary to commemts by some “unbiased” reporters, there was no violence, no racial comments, no hate speech, no threats of violence on any [...]
