I’m not going to say much about the election. I know there is plenty of controversy out there… but it’s over and now we can all move on.
But I did make this one observation… Before this election, the media predicted long lines and voters overwhelming the polling places and so on. Our local station did [...]

I believe our nation’s founding fathers were incredibly wise when they wrote the U.S. Constitution. I suspect you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that. They set up a government with built-in safeguards that protect our innate natural freedoms, including freedom of speech as outlined in the first amendment (”Congress shall make [...]

Rise and shine, blog readers!
This morning I’m getting ready to teach fifth grade at a different school.
It’s pouring rain here, with thunder and (presumably) lightening. Indoor recess… that’ll be fun. Sarcasm intended.
Did you hear about Mother Cecelia, the 106-year-old overseas voter? She lives at a nunnery in Rome, and is the oldest overseas voter and [...]

In spite of her two previous interviews with Barack Obama, Oprah says that she has now chosen to not use her show as [...]

note: read this previous post for a little more background…
The buzz around the blogosphere lately has been this post by Heather at Dooce.com. There’s also been a fair amount of debate at my friend Sarah’s site at alittlelessordinary.com.
First of all, I think it’s kinda crazy that people become so defensive over political stuff. Like, “You’re [...]

Once upon a time, an optimistically naive young lady started a blog. She thought, “I won’t write about politics- I don’t want to offend anyone and besides, there’s plenty of other stuff to write about!”
Then, this naive young lady grew up and learned that talking about politics will bring more hits to her blog.

Some of my readers also read Sarah’s blog at alittlelessordinary.com. I’ve read Sarah’s blog enough to develop a deep affection for her twin daughters and a deep respect for Sarah. If you read her site, then you know about the debate that has developed on her website.
