I'm so glad the election is over, but couldn't they give us at least ONE day of rest before talking about the 2016 election? They aren't going to so, FINE. There are some take-aways we need to pay attention to going forward. By 'we' I mean us regular citizens, not the pandering/lying/sleazy/self-serving politicians who already have their teams of strategists at work on their next plan to manipulate the public. Let's start with these 7...

Miss me?Some good quotes to ponder as we prepare for the November election. Sentient beings, take note. Repubs, you should pay attention too. :-) 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Times; mso-hansi-font-family:Times;} "Those who are willing to trade freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security." - Benjamin...

Nick Hanauer has been called an 'uber-rich' guy, and for good reason. In the time it takes to check out this link, he'll make more than most people do in a year.What makes him interesting enough to read about and watch is the fact that he think he should be taxed more and folks like us should be taxed less.Check him out below (be sure to watch the 6-minute video in the link) because, sadly,...

Cross-posted message for soldiers and families on Memorial Day.http://www.untilmysoncomeshome.com/2012/05/memorial-day-2012.html...

My soldier had confirmation last week that he would indeed be deploying to Afghanistan next year. Bear in mind that we are supposedly going through a 'drawdown' in Afghanistan through 2014. But then again, we've now signed an agreement with Afghanistan to help them 'police' things for ten years (at least) after that.When will we figure it out?Did you know that one of the largest deposits of lithium in the world is supposedly in Afghanistan?...

Sometimes, the politics are just too much.I know who to hang with from the 13-y-o crowd!:Just for fun:And then there was another one:Peace out, and have a great weekend!...

I'm cross-posting, but this deserves your attention as the BS in this political world is astounding.Got a phone call this week from my soldier. This time it was a request for his dress uniforms to be sent in time for an inspection coming up now that he has his 'permanent' post. By the way, he's in climate shock since he's used to Southern winters and is on a base in the North. When you're accustomed...

Forgive me for cross-posting, but this is an issue about which I feel rather strongly these days.You won't get his on network news, so I feel rather obligated to show it here. If you have a delicate stomach, read it anyway.http://www.untilmysoncomeshome.com/2012/03/john-lindsey-et-al-how-do-you-sleep-at.htmlOh by the way, this contains graphic content. As Lindsey Graham would say, you just need to push through it....
