Have You Really Heard About The Egg Recall? »

Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! So I’m sure you’ve heard about the massive egg recall.  Eggs are contaminated with salmonella, and hundred of millions of dozens have been recalled.  Over 1500 cases of illness have been confirmed.

Clean Energy? Hmmm »

We don’t have cable, so I did not watch the State of the Union Address.  I did read the text online. Here are some thoughts on one portion of the speech. There’s no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products. Well, yes there is.  [...]

Are You Informed? »

Pew Research has a quiz to see how informed you are. I’m pretty amazed I got 11 out of 12.  I missed the question about Iran’s borders.  Well, at least you know I didn’t cheat with Google!  But, that’s kind of sad that a silly little housewife who doesn’t even have cable did better than [...]

Fort Hood »

I watched the news on Fort Hood from almost the moment it began happening.  There was a Twitter stream and Facebook updates and even though we don’t have television any more I livestreamed radio and TV broadcasts.

Is Child Molesting Mainstream Now? »

I have a new article up: Child molesting goes mainstream It’s appalling that pedophiles and lecherous old men who abuse children and steal their innocence have Hollywood elites petitioning for these crimes to be swept under the rug.  Harvey Weinstein et al. are happy to take our children’s money to profit on the latest block [...]

Obama in our schools »

I have a new article up on my Examiner site.  Obama’s talking about having school on weekends and throughout summer, as well as extending school hours each day. Perhaps the children need a union, demanding a 40 hour education week, along with 15 minute breaks to spend outside playing. Call me crazy, but I don’t [...]

Bernice Young school principal. An excerpt from [...]
