What's the media's beef with Sonia Sotomayer, the most recent nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court?  They are bringing up a speech that she made back in 2001 and labeling her as a racist.  This is a woman who was an assistant district attorney under New York County Robert Morgenthau and… Read full post »

These are people who I want to give a one-fingered salute to....

1.) All conservatives who keep criticizing President Obama.

2.) Mean-spirited people who enjoy hurting and dwelling on the misfortunes of others.  Karma is a bitch....then bites you on the ass.

3.) My ex-in-laws-I otherwise refer t… Read full post »

Life is unscripted.  No re-dos or do-overs.  We all wish we could hit rewind like on a dvd or vcs and change the things in our lives such as bad marriages/relationships or other mistakes we made.  Poor choices seems to be our lessons in life and experiences that make us wiser. … Read full post »

I'm writing this entry and dedicating it to the ten people who can bite me!!  As you'll see I will be doing this like David Letterman does his Top Ten, by starting my list from number 10 and counting down to number 1!!

10.) President Bush-for totally screwing up this country… Read full post »

I see on all the news sources that Marilyn Chambers died.  She was found by her 17 year old daughter.  I know I'm going to probably get mixed reactions on this one because of  her being a porn actress.  She was originally the Ivory Snow girl when the Mitchell Brothers discovered… Read full post »

It's been in the news that Rush Limbaugh, the ultra-conservative radio show host is talking about leaving New York City. He's kvetching about having to pay a tax increase.  Boo-hoo, Rush-take it like the big boy and millionaire that you are!  This is coming from the same guy who says the… Read full post »

This week I sent a risque text message to a male friend.  Well, we know each other in the biblical sense-a.k.a. friends with benefits.  To clarify things,  I accidentally sent the message to someone else, someone I know not of the biblical sense and not a friend with benefits. I a… Read full post »

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Grinch is alive and well-and living in New York City.  Instead of stealing Christmas, he's going to steal another term as mayor of our fine city.  Whatever happened to term limits you say?Well, Mayor Mike Bloomberg is going to run (buy his way in) for a… Read full post »

With all the misery in our world today, one has to indulge in guilty pleasures.  For many it's the trashy, tabloid reality television shows that networks and cable channels alike keep churning out.  One lame idea after another is thrashed upon unsuspecting viewers to indulge in and even bec… Read full post »

No Child Left Behind was a bi-partisan effort and at best done with the best of intentions.  It was done hastily and with poor planning.  It was designed to make schools, school districts and states more accountable.  The law was supposed to be rewritten after it expired well past… Read full post »

This seems to be a topic that was a hotbed of discussion during the 2008 Presidential campaign.  It seems to ruffle a lot of feathers when it's discussed amongst liberals and conservatives alike.  Of course, the latter of the two parties mentioned opposes it greatly.  Why are we the on… Read full post »

I grew up in the Midwest, amongst all the red states and amongst the nightmare of Reaganomics.  People were laid off and lost their jobs when companies like John Deere and International Harvest shipped out for places of no labor unions and cheaper wages.   Caterpillar went on stri… Read full post »

Why do the Republicans/Conservatives blame the mess that this country is in on Barack Obama.  The man has been in office for almost two months and he stepped into a real s***storm.  This mess, complete with the Iraqi War is the work of our former president, "Dubya" or Junior Bush.

What is it about relationships that make them so complicated?  Not just ones of the romantic nature but friendships, platonic ones and those of familial nature.  There's this craze of "friends with benefits", meaning a person that you have a strictly physical relationship with no-strings at… Read full post »
