Recently more than 90 global leaders gathered for a climate change summit in New York City to brainstorm about the affects of global warming and to come up with some possible solutions to combat the problem. President Barack Obama spoke at the summit, noting that taking zero action on climate change could leave future generations with an “irreversible catastrophe.“
President Obama also noted that the United States is “determined to act” and has put climate at the top of the diplomatic agenda with countries across regions, from China and India to Brazil and Mexico. U.S. leader at the summit agree that …read more

On Tuesday, September 8, the first day of school for many students, President Obama plans to address the nation’s school children, piping his speech from the White House  into all schools (that have the technical ability).  This has raised a furor among many parents.
They are wondering if it’s truly education or is it mind control of our youth?  Some claim it’s an opportunity to start molding young minds with Obama’s socialist agenda.  Obama spokesmen says it’s purely an educational event, with the President talking about the value of an education.
Parents have expressed the desire, if their children’s school views the speech, …read more

Recently when President Barack Obama was in Las Vegas for a special fundraiser event, he stayed at Caesars Palace. During his campaign, he was a frequent guest of the hotel. President Obama noted, “I thought I had a pretty nice room,” he said. “But now I’m president, they upgraded me. It’s a really nice room now.”
Actually it’s an amazing room. The 22,000 square foot suite in the Forum Tower offers spectacular views of the strips and an exterior patio with its own private pool. During his recent stay, President Obama had a workout at the hotel’s Qua Baths and …read more

We left the party and sent the kids to bed last night when we were sure of the election outcome.

Obviously, I’m thrilled that my children will have a fundamental mood in the country, and from their leaders, be one of optimism rather than fear.

Forget fear people. It will do nothing to empower anyone.

I’m going to soak it in today. Optimism and hope taste a hell of a lot better than fear and anger as an American Sentiment.

My daughter is as thrilled to wake to a world of Barack Obama even though her friends’ parents tell them that “Obama is a …read more

Tomorrow is Election Day.

I’m the Alternate Election Judge in my precinct. I’m can’t wear campaign paraphernalia – but, I will be wearing dog tags bearing the name of a real woman who never had the right to vote. This has been a banner year for women – all women – and I salute both parties and all people for the participation of women we’ve seen in 2008.

Let there NEVER, EVER be another election without the female half of this country being represented on a Presidential Ticket. That’s my fervent prayer.

I’ll be at my polling place to make sure the Republican …read more

Joe the Plumber sits on Joe Six Pack.

John McCain and Sarah Palin’s depiction of the American man:

Drowning his anxiety in beer every night, after being knee deep in shit all day long.

(Of course this is most excellent if you happen to be in the beer industry like the McCain’s.)

What We Could Have Done with the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We’ve Spent on Iraq, by Rob Simpson looks like it’s worth reading.

For only $9.95 you could buy a book that examines how short sighted your government has been by going to war with Iraq.

I myself have just been thinking – we could have developed all the energy technology we need right now over the last 6 years of the war, if we were only willing to spend the money here instead of fighting Iraqis for their oil (and don’t pretend our international “security” policy isn’t …read more

Maybe you haven’t spend a few hours on the Internet surfing for Political Action Figures, but I have.

In our collection we have a Talking Bill Clinton Barbie, Rosie the Riveter Action Figure, A giant Bobble Head of George Bush – he’s not supposed to say stupid things, but he does quote himself so it’s a freaking riot.

It’s not uncommon to see Bill Clinton hanging out with Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray in the Pink Bug I got at a garage sale.

I TOLD my husband we shouldn’t let the kids play with them. They are collectors items. Now Bill Clinton has no …read more
