On Demand
I was visiting a nice elderly lady and she had a poster on her wall soliciting donations to stop ‘abortion on demand’. It’s the kind of phrase like ‘strident feminist’ that bursts into the conversation ready for a fight. Let’s be realistic. You don’t get your teeth cleaned ‘on demand’. If you don’t believe me, [...]
ProJo Finally Gets It
Months after Kmareka filled in our ahead-of-the-curve readers on the dismal state of Rhode Island– near the bottom on the Happiness Index, the Journal covers the same story. What the Journal missed was the statistical oddity of Massachusetts having a way better attitude. How can that be? A hint– that’s why they call them ‘gay’.
Was Jesus Rich or Poor?
Here’s an interesting hypothesis I have never really considered before — perhaps Jesus was well-to-do. From CNN: (CNN) — Each Christmas, Christians tell stories about the poor baby Jesus born in a lowly manger because there was no room in the inn. But the Rev. C. Thomas Anderson, senior pastor of the Living Word Bible [...]
Feliz Navidad is Just the Beginning
First they came for Jose Feliciano, and I did not speak out, because I hate Christmas music. Then they came for Kanye West, and I did not speak out, because I don’t listen to anything that’s not on vinyl. And now they’re doing this.. Josh Riddle, of Denver, and David Rufful, a former Bishop Hendricken [...]
Local Entrepreneur
Ava Anderson uses these cosmetics and she looks great. Absolutely flawless. Of course she’s fifteen years old. But I’m willing to be test subject for how well it works on a fifteen year old with forty years of experience. Natural, locally produced cosmetics could be a good buy. Good luck to all the Rhode Islanders, [...]
More Christmas Cheer
Huffington Post about an unemployed man who shovels snow for elderly neighbors, works for his community, and now is part of an innovative art project. Virtue rewarded.
Christmas Cheer
Norbrook at Daily Kos posts about an ugly baby that grew up to be beautiful and smart. Is that the health insurance reform bill? Which is not safely delivered yet? I can hope. I’ll still work for reform, because we have even more work to do if it passes. Salon says the bill reconciliation will [...]
This is Just Wrong
I hate Christmas as much as anyone, but this is taking the war too far. What about the truce in that Snoopy song? Is there any justification for starting and getting personal on Christmas Eve? Radio hosts Matt Fox and A.J. Rice created a racist parody of Jose Feliciano’s ‘Feliz Navidad’ called ‘Illegals in my [...]
A Patient’s View
Via Common Dreams an organizer for the California Nurses Association shows us the ghost of Christmas Future. God help us one and all. But this is a picture of what the health bill will give us without serious reform of the insurance industry. So is there hope of that? And when?
Today’s the Day
It’s 7am. Do you know where your Congress is? All I want for Christmas is to find out that this health bill will do more good than harm. Duct tape is ugly, but it can hold things together until there’s a chance for a real repair. Maybe it’s the caffeine, but I’m ready to enter [...]
