James Taylor (837)   
James Taylor  
All the rumble in the election is about change. Barak Obama surfaced as the only choice Americans have to enable this change in Washington. But this is only a portion of the shift occurring.

A real or imagined political blogger? Read Politbloggeratlarge08:

- Jean Purcell (1,945)
Jean Purcell
I am not from Iowa, so I don't want to barge in on
Iowa politics and religion. However, I'm about to reverse myself and do it. If the Iowa situation happened in Maryland,
I would write a few letters or make a few phone calls. At least, I should do so
and hang my head if I did not!

High Gasoline Prices And The Solution -
- Josh Greenberger (913) 
(May 21, 2008) With the almost daily rise in gasoline prices

Flip Flops a Blundering Fashion Statement -
Mike Fak (5,738) 
Mike Fak
I went to see my son at college last week and since it is finally getting warmer outside, the kids were shedding their heavy garb for more summery clothes.

Blundering with the Fine Arts -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
Disclaimer; I want it understood that I am making fun of myself and not the arts. I readily admit I have no couth, culture, or sophistication in my persona.

Mike Fak
I was having a conversation with a casual friend the other day and when I told him how it was hell getting old he asked me how old I was. I told him I will be 60 this summer and he seemed shocked.

New Reality TV Network Could Help Taxpayers -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
I mentioned last week my contemplation of running for president. I still haven't made up my mind but I like this idea whether it's me or someone else in the White House.

Are Plants People too? -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
Well I have to tell you all how the new gardening hobby is going. I think it is going really well but I fear there are some dark and troubling days ahead.

Rob Lafferty
I've got some imagery stuck in my mind's eye these days of events that I don't really understand... There's an image of President George W. Bush walking onto the baseball field at Nationals Park, in Washington D.C., and hearing the crowd boo him louder than he was being cheered. Bush has often... ( added 1 year 211 days ago.) |

Greetings Fellow Travelers!
To quote the melting witch from The Wizard of Oz "What a world, what a world!"

- Mr. Keith (2,407) 
Mr. Keith
Do you remember the Tonkin Bay incident? That is the moment the United States entered the Vietnam War on a grand scale.

Well, thanks to my utter failure at being a success, I find myself eligible for $600 big ones from the government sometime this summer.

The English Language is a Massive Blunder. -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
I often receive inquiries from individuals seeking help with reports and presentations.

Why Are We In Such a Hurry? -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
I can't tell you exactly when this happened to the world. I know it happened during my lifetime but to give you an exact date is impossible. Perhaps it happened gradually over many years and that's why it wasn't there then and is here now. You don't notice gradual things and I guess this is how... ( added 1 year 254 days ago.) |

Sandra E. Graham (7,883)
Sandra E. Graham
There appear to be some-and possibly legitimate-concerns about just who will be running the White House should Hillary Rodham Clinton become our new President.

Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
Ten years old is a pretty good age to be. At least it was for me back in 1958. I had finally mastered my multiplication tables and could spell most normal words, so school was starting to be less trying, especially when I showed up for it
I was also at an age where toys were still important... ( added 1 year 324 days ago.) |
Blundering Through a Motorcycle Accident; In the Living Room -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
This personal blunder started mildly enough. An aunt had died who had just received from Medicare a mini-scooter so she could putt around her neighborhood without having to extend herself physically.
