Are politicians and the media truly surprised and uninformed (or misinformed) about the Diversity Visa Program? Or are they feigning surprise to further the drama surrounding the story they wish to tell? I, a voting citizen, NOT a politician or elected official, knew about the Diversity Visa Program prior to yesterday. I also know that […]
I’m not so proud of many things I did as a young person, but I can honestly say that I never intentionally hurt anyone, physically or otherwise. Mitt Romney’s “hijinks” (as he calls them) as a senior in his “prep” high school which involved holding a gay boy down and cutting his hair, seem to […]
My state doesn’t require a registered voter to register with a party, so I should not be on a phone calling list for any political party. And yet I am. I have received Republican fund-raiser calls for years so that’s no surprise. But today, I received my first Democratic fund-raising phone call and I am […]
I was watching CNN yesterday as they were covering the story of John Edwards’ affair. I was appalled – literally – at the number of callers, mostly female, who thought the media coverage wasn’t fair and that this matter should be kept “private” for his family’s sake. Sorry ladies, but protecting his family was Dear […]
Let’s have a revolution in America. Not one with guns or even protest marches. Let’s voice our opinion on Election Day. Let’s vote out ALL incumbents. Yep, let’s oust them from their comfy chairs in the congress and the senate. Let’s vote for newbies who will at least be in touch with mainstream Americans. Let’s […]
Nick Leibham may have found the way to a voter’s heart, offering 50 people gas for $1.27 per gallon. I know it’s only 50 people, but other voters will appreciate the gesture also because it shows that he truly knows the hardship that many people are facing. Wouldn’t it be nice if more of our […]
The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) are the regulators of the IndyMac bank which was seized yesterday following a panic withdrawal of funds by many of their customers. “It’s the biggest failure in 24 years,” said Chip MacDonald, a banking lawyer at Jones Day in Atlanta. “You haven’t had a lot of failures of that […]

Have you ever noticed that our society in the USA is a society favoring the wealthy and torturing – or at the very least, tormenting, the poor? Think about it. Those who cannot afford to pay their utility bills on time, but have to wait for the next paycheck, usually end up paying exorbitant late […]
I Timothy 6:10 (Bible) says… “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” However, I would say to you that the love of money is not the only vice that is propelling this generation to possibly go down in history as one of the most vile and disgusting generations of American history. […]
Poor Mr. Fox, Mr. George Fox that is, who is now known for renting motel rooms with hookers, and formerly Gov. Spitzer’s friend. I say formerly because it appears that the good governor was using his name (George Fox) to reserve motel rooms where he was meeting with his very expensive prostitute. And another “great” […]
My little rant at the beginning of my blog is taking up too much space, so I decided to turn it into a post – About the Circus of Life Blog. We are living at the circus in these United States of America, and possibly throughout the world. A circus of loose lipped media, not-so-worthy […]
