Ah…Valentine’s Day. A day for sweethearts to express their love for one another. Sadly, like Christmas, this holiday has been so over-commercialized that too many of us feel like we have to meet some pretty high expectations to come out of this day unscathed. I have never expected much from SSG Dizzy, except for the usual flowers (red and white…our first date/wedding colors) and chocolates (it feeds my addiction). I frown on expensive gifts like jewelry and the like...
According to Lil’ Dizzy, tomorrow is “Happy Valentine’s Day” and she is very excited about what Cupid is going to leave for her. I’m excited, too, since I noticed a very large expenditure in our bank account and I have been assured by SSG Dizzy that our account has not been hacked by his distant Nigerian cousins. Sadly, Cupid probably wouldn’t make it into this country, if he had to cross the border (via land or air), since he...
Ooh…look at the calendar. No. Not at Abe Lincoln’s Birthday! Valentine’s Day is two days away. I certainly hope you already pre-ordered those flowers for your special someone. And, trust me, today is the last day for you to get the best chocolate and not the slim pickin’s you can get on the clearance rack at your local drugstore. Besides, with the recession set to hit hard and very soon, this V-Day may be your last chance to go...
Yeah. Get your butt up! It’s Monday. I’ll wait right here while you go get your morning cuppa… Hurry up, now. I don’t want you to be late for Uncle Jay’s lesson for today: Uncle Jay Explains the News – February 11, 2008 No real predictions in today’s Ten Post Round-Up. I mean, how hard is it to predict that some colossal nonsense will come out of the mouth of some representative of GWB, or even the man, himself?...
The following is an open letter to Senator Hillary Clinton, a woman who I consider an American Hero. I composed this letter with the hope that it might help undecided voters reach a decision. As outlined in the letter, I am Canadian and, therefore, have no personal gain from supporting Senator Clinton in the primaries in America. But, readers will note that meeting Senator Clinton at Ground Zero provided me with much comfort during a terrifying time. I hope that all who read...
Of all of the many reasons to support a Democrat for President of the U.S. in 2008, one of the most vital is to start to bring to a close the reckless bloodbath that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and friends opened up in Iraq. From the safety of our homes we only know the starkest hints, the remote and officially released surfaces of the ongoing violence, the toll on American soldiers, the millions of Iraqi refugees, and the tens...
