Just why does the St. Petersburg Times persist with ranking candidates assets and liabilities as financial clout or debts? A political candidate’s financial porfolio should play absolutely no part in how a voter decides his or her vote.

Note to everyone in the United States: Can you please… pretty pretty please with cream and sugar on top (and oil if you’re driving an SUV) stop calling the United States the “Homeland”? Since 2001 — before or after 9-11, I forget which — every time I’ve heard the wordRead More
There was an editorial story about the Daily Show with Jon Stewart that was published in the St. Petersburg Times on Monday.

What has Britney Spears done lately to deserve all the attention she is getting about having another baby except for providing examples time and again of how not to raise your child? Listen, I can deal with TomKat and Suri, I can deal with Lindsay “I was hotter as aRead More

George W. Bush is now referring to the War on ‘Terror’ (which is a “war” against a tactic to begin with — not against a defined group, though the base of supporters labels Arabs as the terrorist boogeyman) as World War 3. Yeah, that’s right folks. World War 3… WhereRead More
It’s been a hell of a long time since I took part in Luna Nina’s Unconcious Mutterings.

Yeah, they are filled with bonus material. Yes, the movies tend to be really cool or funny… But is Universal Studios and Universal Home Videos able to CLOSED CAPTION a single DVD? Noooooooooo.

My first ever diary on Daily Kos. Too bad it’s repeating what I’ve said on Sticks of Fire….
The title of Northwest Leftists post is “The Most important book for Progressives”… He’s talking about Crashing the Gate and I must stress how true those words are.

I grew up a fan of the WWF and I re-acquired my fondness for wrestling late int eh 1990’s during the WCW/WWF wars. One of the performers for the WWF (now WWE) was former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle who played a pompous and crass patriot who embodied everything thatRead More
If Hillary Clinton were elected to the highest office in the land, as desperate Democrats have been talking the last few months, it would just be more of the same corruption that we’re faced with on a daily basis right now. This exhibit is proof enough. I didn’t trust HillaryRead More

Comments are screwed up and you cannot view / post comments. I am trying to figure out why and have no clue how long this has been going on. The situation is the same for all themes tried…
“Blah!” to hearts filled with chocolates! “BAH!” to flowers and romantic dinners. “Humbug!” to extra commercialism of a day devoted to showing yoru admiration, fondness and love and appreciation of a special person out there. Happy Bitter SIngles day people… Â For the bitterly single (such as myself) the dayRead More
