Introductions

I used to have a blog here, once upon a time. Then I moved it over to yahoo360. But as many people know, 360 has some serious issues, and today, when I really wanted to blog again, yeah, those problems crept up. Rather than getting frustrated, I remembered that I had once had a blog here, and thought "oh, why not. It's not like a lot of people are reading my stuff anyway". So here I am.

To be honest, I actually do have several places I blog, but they are all used for a different type of blogging. To be more honest, I don't keep up with them as often as I should. The fact is, this will be a political blog, and if nothing strikes my political nerve on a certain day, I can guarantee I won't write. I haven't had the urge to write politically in over 4 months, even in the midst of a Presidential Election. Due to the nature of this campaign, politics has been overplayed and most days it just grates on my very last nerve. It's only September and already I'm tired of seeing campaign ads every 30 seconds. Thank God for TiVo.

With all that said, I'm sure I will be blogging, and I hope I get a few readers. Welcome.

Now the ground rules:
This is my space. As such, I am entitled to write about whatever I please. I'm an American citizen, and I have a right to free speech. If you don't like what you read, you have the freedom to click on the little "x" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. However, I do respect the opinions of others, as long as they are not flame comments that use name calling. Name calling is not tolerated. Neither is foul language. If you have a point to make, I really think it can be done in a civil way. So, comments from all walks of life are fine - even appreciated, as long as you can keep it clean and respectful. For the record: this applies to ALL views and political affiliations. I'm a conservative but if some other conservative posts comments that are disrespectful, they WILL be removed. Good debate is the exchange of ideas, not name calling.

That's it. Until Next Time....

What's In A Name?

I love football.  For six long years, I gave it up in protest.  Protest of both a quarterback and a coach, who I thought received far too many accolades for missing the coveted prize in the NFL:  The Superbowl.  I was ecstatic when the Eagles fired Andy Reid, and despite the team's less than stellar start this season, I firmly believe it was a decision that should have been made a long time ago.   I love football.   I have a passionate dislike for several teams in the NFL.  Most of this is due to a conference rivalry that dates back to when the NFC East was the hardest division to play in.  The Dallas Cowgirls (oops...boys), the NY Giants, and the Washington Redskins.  You can't be an Eagles fan and not hate those teams.  It's just not allowed. I love football. What I don't love is smarmy commentators who decide to use their national airtime, during a sport that remains the most popular in the U.S., to score political points, or wo...

Thoughts on Dr. Gosnell and Abortion

If you've been living anywhere outside of the Philadelphia area, odds are you know little or nothing about the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell that's been taking place the last few months.  You may not even realize that he was arrested in 2010, and that a horrific report by the Grand Jury was released in January 2011. Yesterday he was convicted on three counts of first degree murder in the deaths of 3 babies, who were born alive in his Philadelphia abortion clinic.  He snapped their spinal cords with scissors.  According to testimony, he did this to hundreds of babies, because it was easier to deliver them and kill them afterwards.   Late term abortions are difficult and dangerous, despite what the Pro-Choice movement would have you believe.  After suffering several lawsuits for malpractice, which he settled out of court for around 1.7 million dollars, Dr. Gosnell decided it was more profitable just to kill babies after they were born.  No chance of punctur...

Dear Mr. President:

Why do I feel like I was just treated to a rerun of 2008?  Why do I feel like I've heard this all before?  Why do I feel like I just heard 38 minutes of empty promises?  Dear Mr. President, why do I have such a problem with you? I'm no policy wonk, but I do pay attention. You did say "you didn't build that", and if you were referring to roads and bridges, I ask, where exactly did government get the money to pay for those things?  I think it might have been from the same people you accused of not building that.... You did say, "The private sector is doing fine".  You did say that it was the public sector...state and local government workers were the issue.  The thing is Mr. President, public sector employment is the same as it was 6 years ago.  Private sector employment is negative 3 million jobs. You told reporters that the reason you couldn't forge relationships with the other party is because you wanted to spend time with your family.  M...
