Ugh.

      No Comments on Ugh.

I am well aware that it’s been over a month since I last posted.  It’s not for lake of trying.  I’ve just been annoyed with social media in general.  All the hate from BOTH sides of any of the current political debate is enough to may me want to spend the rest of my phone contract playing Candy Crush. So… Read more »

The Dope Show

      No Comments on The Dope Show

As far as I can tell, one of two things is currently plaguing the GOP.  Either they have the most inept polling and PR agencies in the history of the universe, or they have polling and PR agencies that are actively out to destroy them.  These are the only explanations that make sense to me.   As I’ve stated many… Read more »

I’m in a Mood

      No Comments on I’m in a Mood

It’s time for another rapid fire round, so slap on a helmet and come along for the ride.  I’m in a mood, so I expect I’ll offend/ irritate/ anger most everyone reading this by the time I get to the end. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Someone needs to explain to me in small words why President Obama wanting to pull… Read more »

I’m confused

      2 Comments on I’m confused

Today I’m asking for help.  Specifically I’m asking for help from my friends who are deeply religious.  Most of you will be Christians, but I’m quoting from the Old Testament, a book also revered by Jews and Muslims, so please feel free to comment if you are of either of those beliefs as well.  Yes, I know I’m leaving some… Read more »

The post where I lose people

      No Comments on The post where I lose people

 I am not a moron.  I am not clueless about the issues facing our country.  But, I am an undecided voter. How is that possible?  It’s pretty simple actually- my personal beliefs don’t fall nicely into either side of the aisle.  And I bet there are a lot of people like me who are just too scared of the ridicule… Read more »

Conservative Thought

      1 Comment on Conservative Thought

So, after several months of blogger’s block I finally got inspiration from the oddest of places- Twitter. And what’s the topic? “What is a conservative?” This may seem like an odd topic for a self-professed moderate Independent. But I grew up in a very conservative family. My uncle was Minnesota First District Republication chairman for several years and in fact… Read more »

Rapid Fire Segment

      No Comments on Rapid Fire Segment

Once again it’s time for our favorite game- Multi Mini Blog Fest! First up, I don’t understand Occupy Wall Street at all. Are the protesters suggesting we all grow our own food, make our own clothes and live off the land? I welcome serious, civil explanations only. Weddings are getting out of hand. Couples are taking out HUGE loans to… Read more »

Really people? REALLY???

      No Comments on Really people? REALLY???

Like everyone else I have been watching the devastation following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Like any decent human being my heart goes out to the thousands of people who are homeless, looking for lost loved ones, injured, hungry, or hurting in any other way. Sadly, not everyone is a decent human being. At least not from some of… Read more »
