Nader’s running again and I have to say I love the idea
Yippee! Ralph Nader has thrown his metaphorical hat into the presidential ring again. I’m really glad he has.
I used to buy into the Democratic Party bitterness that says Al Gore lost to George W. Bush because Nader diluted the Florida vote Gore would’ve gotten.
Well, DUH. Then I listened to Nader’s take on that historic boondoggle, [...]
Ah, technology in mattresses can be a wonderful thing, eh?
I’ve been looking around the Internet trying to learn something about beds and mattresses. My wife and I are in need of a new bed. We are trying to decide whether one of the high-tech mattresses like a memory foam mattress or one of those adjustable beds where you shift all the positions and/or firmness [...]
How big are you willing to gamble with your home, health, or life?
The biggest crisis most of us face these days is an insurance crisis — whether we realize it or not. Indeed, the whole world of insurance, whether we’re talking whole life insurance, term life insurance, health insurance, or homeowners insurance, is the world’s biggest legalized gambling operation.
Maybe you’ve never thought of insurance as gambling, but [...]
Does John McCain qualify constitutionally to be president?
Isn’t that an odd question in my title? Why wouldn’t Sen. John McCain qualify constitutionally to be president?
I had not heard about this, but some have brought up the issue that he was born in the Panama Canal Zone — and have raised the issue that he might not, therefore, qualify to be president under [...]
Perfect example of ‘witch hunt’? Look at Clemens-Congress fiasco
What a circus. Just think: We pay all those bozos in Congress to ferret out all the corruption and possible corruption going on in, uh, well, uh — Major League Baseball???
According to a story I was just reading, the major probability of criminal charges against pitcher Roger Clemens for lying under oath to the Congressional [...]
When you think of shampoo, think only one thing: ‘Naked Naturals’
This would be my personal pick for “Useful Website/Product” of the entire week — at least the week! — Naked Naturals Citrus & Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner.
Naked Naturals Citrus & Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner
When I say naked naturals, I’m not just throwing around a brand name. These are all natural shampoo and conditioner products, with [...]
Bush: Nah, there’s no recession, merely an economic ’slowdown’
Ah, what a comfort. Our president has reassured us that we are NOT headed toward a recession, we’re merely in a “slowdown.”
That makes me think of that old song from the 1920s or ’30s, I’m not sure which, with the line, “You say toMAto and I say toMAWto …” — you can call it a [...]
Ah, once again — the beauties of winter life in the Missouri Ozarks
Welcome to southwest Missouri, where I live. We’ve had a touch of snow here. We’ve had a lot of rain, a few tornadoes, and a whole many, many tons of ice. What a winter.
I’ve never understood why people flock to this area, even though Branson with all it’s country music entertainment, a lot of wooded [...]
Madelaine Albright makes pretty good case for Hillary Clinton
I was just watching the rerun of Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. It’s the sanest place to get “news” these days — and I’m only half joking about that.
Anyway, his guest for that episode was former Secretary of State Madelaine Albright. She spoke about a variety of current foreign policy issues, but [...]
Is it possible to ‘repair’ bad credit? Here’s an ebook that looks helpful

Here’s a useful website — actually it directs you to a useful “ebook” — which gives detailed information about credit [...]
