Concord Monitor Endorses Clinton in New Hampshire Primary

The Concord Monitor has endorsed Hillary Clinton for the New Hampshire primary. The Monitor begins their endorsement by noting:
Immediately after taking office, President Hillary Clinton would begin preparations to withdraw American troops from Iraq.
She would send a message to world leaders that the United States intends to rejoin the community of nations.
She would make clear [...]

Religious Freedom

Freedom is theoretically possibly without democracy, one supposes. It would have to consist of a benign dictatorship (most likely possible in a historical Monarchy) with all of the shortcomings that that would entail.
Democracy without freedom is another matter altogether. Not only is it conceivable, it is a daily reality if one looks around, and events [...]

A Different Side of Hillary

As a woman, I feel that I can relate to Hillary Clinton on many levels. She’s a tough, strong woman who has been defending herself for decades. So have I. She’s also a mother, and a good mother, and that gives her a keen understanding that only a mother can have about children, whether it’s [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

It’s only Tuesday, but this week seems to be dragging on and on.
You see, I have big plans, this weekend. A big date, if you will. What’s that you say, “But, Dizzy, you’re a married woman (gasp)! What will SSG Dizzy think?”
It’s alright, really. I already got my husband’s approval for my big date with [...]

The Bottom Line on the Halliburton Rape Cases

The Facts
The facts are despicable, criminal, worse than animal, just absolutely ugly. In 2005, 20-year-old Jamie Leigh Jones of Houston, Texas had just signed on to work in Iraq for a Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR), one of the private military contractors most used by the United States military. Just two days after [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Multiple Choice Monday

Be aware, there are about 7 shopping days left before the Jolly Fat Dude arrives. I just wanted to remind those of you who act as Santa’s “authorized agent” to get moving. I just got done with my online holiday list (one thing that each family member “really, really, wanted”). I’ll admit it, I am [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Jeopardy Edition

I got a beef with Mother Nature, today. Lots’o snow, lots’o cold and a whole lotta icy on the streets. I got things to do today, ya know. I do have a life outside of the blogosphere.
Speaking of blogging, I guess while I wait for the temperature to get about 15 degrees, I’ll just have [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

You will have to excuse me, as I am just recently done with the watching of the “Borat” movie right now, so my snark meter is on high.
It’s snowing again in my place of blogship. That means it’s cold. It’s a good thing I was able to stock up on necessities like coffee and chocolate. [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Moody Blue Tuesday

Yeah…just a little moody, today. One week from now, my loved one, thanks to GWB, will be in Kuwait, on his way to his third tour in Iraq. The only thing helping me keep it together is my regular morning cuppa and keeping tabs on my RSS reader.
I’m not posting my round-up, so much because [...]
