At 7:09 this morning, my wife and I got into line outside Evergreen Precinct’s Polling Place at Mountain View Elementary School in Haymarket, Virginia. It is the first election we have voted in where the line at Mountain View extended outside. As usual, there were campaigners from both the Republican and Democratic parties outside the […]
Two things really shock me: 1) There are, according to the highly suspect election results of 2000, roughly 50 million voters who thought that George W. Bush and his administration was their best choice in 2000. That baffles me. Even worse, according to the polls – a lot of those ~50 million STILL think that […]
WOW! I don’t know much about Ron Reagan Junior, but I heard his non-political plea for science at the Democratic National Convention. I did not think much of it. Yet, here he is writing a big article for Esquire in which he really states an eloquent case against President Bush. I do not agree with […]
I resent that Bill Maher suggests that religious people support George Bush and scientific people don’t. I am religious, and my religion says that people who cause death for personal gain are evil. Since the war in Iraq was so clearly fought so that the American taxpayers could be fleeced by George Bush’s constituents, and […]
Vice President Dick Cheney and others continue harping on the same question over and over again even though it has already been answered a dozen times by Senators John Edwards and John Kerry. They (the Republicans) keep repeating the question about why the senators voted against funding the war and they continue to try to […]
While watching the Democratic National Convention on PBS tonight, I think I just saw a possible presidential candidate in Barack Obama, the Illinois State Senator who is running for U.S. Senate and delivered a transcendant keynote speach at the DNC in Boston. He proposes something I have found harder and harder to do myself, that […]
Kojo Nnamdi just had delegate Bob Marshall on his show talking about the Federal Marriage Amendment. I am appalled, as a voter in district 13, Bob Marshall has NEVER represented me. He is abhorrent to me in every way, and his stands on women being subservient and against same-sex unions are simply crimes against humanity. […]
What the heck is wrong with our president? How can he believe the world is a safer place today than it was before the invasion of Iraq? More people hate the United States than ever before. I feel far less safe because of the madman in the oval office. How can he site Afghanistan as […]
This morning we had to part with a beloved friend. Our eldest ferret, Indy, suffered a stroke or something like a stroke yesterday; when we got home last night Indy was not moving from his neck down. We bathed him and loved on him, and this morning he was still not moving from the neck […]
Monday evening we got back from a fabulous, if far too short, trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. Erci’s Aunt was there on business and invited her husband and us to come along for some tourism. I fell in love with a city. Last Wednesday evening we jumped on a plane at Dulles. At […]
