It is always difficult to argue with people who site “God’s Plan” as their justification for what they do or don’t do, isn’t it? I was pleased to hear that Sarah Palin had joined the Fox New news team. It would seem now that my exposure to her propogatin’ and talkin’ about what weighs on [...]

When former Miss California, Carrie Prejean abruptly settled her libel and defamation case, in which she cited religious persecution against Miss California pageant organizers amid rumors of a sex tape, my reaction was, “serves you right, you noxious twit.” I don’t have an issue with conservative women or the conservative agenda per se, but rather [...]

I sometimes wonder if the sum total of False Auntie’s and my Mom’s activities for the week surround their superhuman ability to read and disseminate information. I read, but at a second- grade level compared to the two of them who read so much that they’ll sometimes buy a book and discover two chapters in that they’ve [...]

Prompted by False Auntie, I did an unofficial survey of my 258 facebook friends and discovered that far more that I would have expected have “friended” Sarah Palin. I would be less than truthful if I said that this doesn’t bother me because I find that it does. You think you know people, right? Forget [...]

A friend of mine from high school lives with her husband, a classmate of mine as well, in a city where she describes the schools as “disappointing at best”. She continues, “there’s nothing like Pembroke Hill (our private school in Kansas City) within reasonable commuting distance, especially for an elementary school kid. I love home schooling [...]

From the desk of Republican Dude Recently, in Loudoun County out here in the ‘burbs, there’s been much hoopla about school boundary changes, I’ll spare you all the boring details, but this issue has ignited that portion of Ashburn in which I live. Now, I enjoy discussing national politics and the like as much as [...]

If you subscribe to Newsweek, you’ll be greeted this holy week with a cover article entitled The End of Christian American. As I am at present undergoing my own crisis of faith, it’s of some comfort to know that indeed, I am not alone. The percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 points in the [...]

I’m never going to meet the Queen of England. We don’t travel in the same circles and when she was in DC back in 2007, I made no efforts to join the parade. I imagine her smelling of Estee Lauder’s White Linen, mothballs, her breath redolent with weird British food. She sits on the crapper [...]

As someone who has spent most of her career in sales, I have a somewhat different view of the AIG bonuses that were paid out with bailout money, though regular readers may recall that in general, I am anti bailout because I was worried early on about the propensity for corruption. Would that I could [...]
