My take on politics.
Don’t Be A Political Know-It-All
While everyone keeps posting memes that basically point out how the “other side” is wrong , I have yet to see someone ask a genuine question. It’s as if everyone I know suddenly has a triple PHD in politics and life in general.
A Primer on Cuba and Fidel Castro and Dispelling Myths
I decided to write this post because I found so many friends and acquaintances were confused about other people’s opinions on Fidel Castro after his death was reported. Many asked me why some people thought he was a hero or unjustly criticized. Let me give you a brief history of the Cuban Revolution along with […]
Ayotzinapa, the Debates, Colombia, India and Ethiopia – The week in review
I am sipping a nice hot latte while sitting outside listening to the birds sing their evening songs. There is nothing that I love more than to be outdoors enjoying fall weather. My latte is a decaf, since my cutoff for caffeine is about 3PM. It seriously took me decades to figure that nugget of […]

Sheeple sheeple everywhere
So I’m reading up on the comments to the cnn story on Obama’s jobs speech, and, as usual, the sheeple come out to play. http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/09/08/obama.jobs.plan/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 Some of my favorites are: instantkrma The only way we are getting out of this mess permanently is if we permanently reform the tax system in this country but […]
