National Issues

If Senator Clinton wants to do something about the high gas prices she certainly could introduce legislation to do so.

Why is she not doing something now that she has some quality time on her hands? Why is she not rallying the other democratic senators to do something? Why is she not pressuring the President to do something?

It is interesting how she sold herself during the primaries. No end to what she would do for the little guy. Now that she is out of the selling business the tune changes.

Not surprises, but always sickening.

We live in a political world,
Love don't have any place.
We're living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face

That is exactly what our president told the Pope after his speech at the White House.

I am speechless!

Very compelling story from a website in St. Louis, MO........

From Kirkuk, Iraq To The South Side of St. Louis: The Journey of Hatem

I don't know about you, but I'm about to lose my job due to the housing market and just found out that more will be laid off soon. Dell is laying off what, 700-800 people?  And then I tune into the local news and discover that a man in Austin won the scratch off lottery where it pays out $5,000 a week for 20 years.  I thought, "good for him." But then I discovered the rest of the story - he moved back to his home in Mexico. Go figure.

Republicans demanded that Governor Spitzer resign immediatly after the news broke that he was involved with a female prostitute.

Republicans just cannot stand it that their sex scandals almost always involve boys/men and the democrats seem to prefer women.

But seriously; as long as we keep thinking that the people we elect  are of higher and better moral fiber than the rest of us, this kind of news will always come as a surprise.

Get over it and enjoy the news. A welcome break from the campaign.

Davenport, IA – How would a President Obama handle an international crisis? One may hope to gain a glimpse as Senator Obama responds to the situation in Kenya. Hundreds of Kenyans have been killed after a disputed election, including approximately 50 who died when a church was burned with refuge-seekers i

Enough said...and aptly put, if I may say so myself. We need a real change in the White House, not somebody that will continue a third term for Bush.

You know your students spend too much time on social networking sites. Good or bad, its the new reality of how they interact.  Its their medium of choice.

Can this behaviour be changed?  I think not. And why should it?

Can this medium be put to some good use?  I think so. Should participation actually be encouraged? I think so again.

I mean it. No deep thoughts, just happy thanksgiving.
