I don’t drive a lot — thank goodness. But, the ever rising gas prices have me thinking I will be driving even less. CNN reports today:
The $100 fill-up has arrived in the United States.

John Kerry was in San Francisco today stumping for Barack Obama. Calitics has video clips.
I gotta just say that although I split with Kerry on who to support in this Democratic primary race; he’s endorsed Obama and I have endorsed Hillary Clinton, if Kerry had been here in Los Angeles today, I woulda been there in a Massachusetts […]

The economy is likely to dominate Thursday’s debate, as both candidates look to appeal to supporters of Edwards and his brand of economic populism.

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third […]

The American Mayor… He didn’t have a prayer… “Perhaps he was living an illusion all along.”
John McCain won the Florida primary tonight, and “solidified his status as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.” Rudy barely placed yet again… He’s out:

It’s been raining for days in Southern California and that rain has wrecked some havoc around the area, including my neighborhood. I’ve been experiencing intermittent power outages since early morning (2:30 am) that have lasted from a few minutes to a few hours. Given that, I’m going to protect my computer, which usually is powered […]

The recent flap over Barack Obama’s comments on Ronald Reagan speaks volumes about what distinguishes our three democratic presidential candidates.
