Where are all the moderates?

People want to be identified something. “Conservative”, “Independent”, “Progressive”, “Libertarian”, “Wiccan”, “Catholic”, “Methodist”.. you name it and there is a group out there for you. People love labels, they love labeling someone something and they love labeling themselves something. It is how we are made up, we want to be able to put people into [...]

Whitman : I just can’t vote for her

Over the last 6-8 weeks I have wrestled with whom I would vote for today. It really came down to Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman on the Republican side of things. These were the two most viable candidates being forced down our throats on the Republican ticket. On one side, you have the former eBay [...]

Dear Parent: Poway Unified Budget Alert

There literally is only so much one can do before really getting pissed off at how this country works. We can spend billions a month over in foreign countries, to help make their lives better under the guise of national security. We can build planes that can’t be picked up on radar under the guise [...]

Political Climate

I do not care if you are a conservative, a liberal, or anything inbetween, our government sucks because of the two party system that has been around since the election. It worked out fairly well for the last 200 years… then some how it turned to shit. It started probably in 76 with the election [...]

Healthcare Bill

Now I am just going to make an observation, this is not something along the lines of i hate white people or anything of that nature, I am half white after all. Protesters took to the street Saturday before the health care bill is to be voted on today. I saw three large groups of [...]

The Fattening of America

All of this talk about universal health care insurance is nice and all. I love the fact that what did get through congress is basically a bill nobody really wanted. The Republicants don’t want it because they did not think of it and the Democraps don’t want it because it does not restrict abortion, or [...]

Health Care Reform

It is amazing to me that people are really up in arms about health care reform. I mean we have people that are just completely off base on certain things. Who the hell honestly believes that we are going to be setting up Death Panel’s? It is just beyond me how people can honestly think [...]

Another Year, Another Time Change

I hate the time changes, I hate springing forward int he spring, I hate falling back during the fall. I mean I understand the reasons behind it, but honestly, do we really need this in this day and age? My body clock says that it is 1245am, but my clock says that it is 1145pm. [...]

Orange

I am digging the orange on the site, kind of sticks out for me. Though I do not like the fact that it resembles the Japanese rays… will probably have to change that up a bit. Big couple of days. First I have Molly’s Teacher Parent Conference. After that I find out if I am [...]
