I woke up this morning after my wife left for work and turned on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. This is how I start 4 out of 5 weekdays.
The political chit-chat was about Tuesday’s Election races, what it all means, and all this “fill the time” political fluff and puff that is required for these talk [...]

I’m too young to have been around when posters like this one were common place. And my parents who bought US Savings Bonds have passed away, so I can’t ask them. But from the information I have seen, it appears that when our country, our federal government needed more money, in this case [...]

And Michael Moore appeared to be critical of both Democrats and Republicans in the film.
During the past 24 hours I watched last weeks [...]

My wife and I have some very opposite political views. This is not new information for either of us, but it does create some interesting and sometimes heated conversations.

So as our representatives return from Washington and hold meetings with those that voted them into office, some are feeling the heat [...]

A lot has happened since I added anything to this blog. We’ve had General Motors and Chrysler go belly up, David Letterman has insulted Sarah Palin (again), and I am back from a week long trip to Maine and back.

I have been politically quiet for the past couple of months. Not because I don’t care, but because I want to listen, watch and observe.
I have taken a break from most of the media that was feeding their biased views on cable TV and talk radio simply because it is tiring to listen to.

I’m really tired of the political talk on radio & TV. I turned it off last week and started listening to music again. Which is too bad, because, I’ve listened to talk on the radio for the last 20 years.
This past weekend, I spent 3 great hours with my daughter talking about a little of [...]

President Obama won the Presidential Election by focusing on 2 words that people were hungering for.
Change was one. But everyone was using that word. So you have to look at the other word too.
Hope was the word that really inspired people.
The problem is that such a tiny minority know the basics of our Federal Government.
