Doug Elmendorf , the Director of the Congressional Budget Office, put things in perspective on February the first when he projected that ‘economic growth will slow by next year and unemployment will rise before that.’ Uh, say what? I thought things were improving. Maybe improving slowly, but improving none the less. Obama said so…didn’t he…? … Continue reading
Maybe it’s just me! As a moderate independent with leanings a little to the right of center, I share many of the views of both the GOP and Libertarian parties. Perhaps there is some Democrat in me also when it comes to programs I think the government should be involved in (like border patrol for … Continue reading
Dawn: It’s just past seven AM and already I’m 500 calories into my first day of dieting! One bowl of soup, a small banana and just a few peanuts have done all that damage. Already, I’m thinking that my goal of 1200 calories a day might have been a bit too optimistic. (In point of … Continue reading

‘There’s something happening here What it is ain’t exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound Everybody look what’s going down’ Those words penned in the song ‘For What it’s Worth’, by the Buffalo Springfield back in … Continue reading
