Today, was a miserable day. Sure, it was a beautiful sunny day. But, noticing that we have passed a casualty milestone in Iraq and hearing how cold-hearted the Vice-President was, in response to that milestone, broke my heart. Every day, I hope that my soldier will not become part of that milestone, yet, the current White House administration acts like, “it’s business, as usual”; not a big deal. So, it’s only fitting that I re-post the following video, because...
We got snow for Easter, in my neck of the woods. As the snow began to melt, today, I could see the first signs of Spring, sprouting up out of the brown ground; the first sprigs of green grass. I think we are going to need another decent snowstorm, to saturate the ground, to boost the colors of Spring; something I am looking forward to, along with the 60-plus degree temperatures. It’s Monday, so ya’ll know what that means:...
Got some time on my hands, so I thought I would churn out a round-up, for you. I don’t have any mood music for you, but in honor of Spring and Easter weekend, I would ask you to view this public service announcement about the senseless killing of chocolate bunnies: How to kill a chocolate bunny Please note that no chocolate bunnies or marshmallow peeps were harmed in the making of today’s Ten Post Round-Up: 1: Widow to GWB:...
Basketball, Springtime, and Peeps! Oh, my! It’s a good thing I have 10 minutes to relax and put out this post. What’s that? I only have 6 minutes to chill? Oh, my! It looks like I only have 4 minutes to save the world!: Madonna Feat Justin Timberlake & Timbaland – 4 Minutes Alas, you must save yourself from today’s Ten Post Round-Up: 1: Most Americans blaming the war for poor economy… Poll: 71% of Americans think Iraq spending...
Yesterday, marking the 5th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, was far from a somber day, for me. I have to somewhat disconnect from my feelings about the war because I live with it, on too many levels. As a military spouse, of course, I live with the Iraq war on daily basis, as I tend the home-fires and keep them burning. As the only regular professional entertainment for the troops, where my husband is stationed, I get...
So much interesting news, so little time. So, let’s jump right in, why don’t we?Oh, wait! We need some mood music, first: Pat Benatar – Invincible Not much to say about today’s Ten Post Round-Up except there’s something about chicks and di–, um, manly bits: 1: This is the Fed. This is the Fed on Crack… Follow the logic of the panic stricken Federal Reserve–AMERICAblog 2: Um…So who found out it was up there?… Obscene drawing on roof of...
A late edition of the Ten Post Round-Up…life has a curious way of keeping you from your scheduled plans (know what I mean?). With the five year anniversary of the Iraq invasion, I am spending more time than usual thinking about the enormous changes that have happened in my life due to the three Iraq deployments of SSG Dizzy. Namely, I am having a recurrence of chest pains not felt since a vehicular incident that happened right before his...
While registering voters, and getting the crossover vote, is a legitimate general election technique, it has seldom been it used so boldly to capture a primary nomination. Perhaps Senator Obama learned from Joe Lieberman that getting the Republican vote is the key to success when you can’t get enough Democratic votes. From Salon’s War Room: If the Obama campaign is to pull off an upset, the new registrants will be vitally important. As the Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown observes,...
