Thundersnow and Global Warming – The Mid West Takes a Beating

Dad, You mentioned thunder and snow in your article about the Midwestern storms that are covering us in a post-Christmas winter wonderland   I have noticed the lightning, thunder and snow several times in the last couple of weeks.  I have never seenor heard that before, so I looked it up.  Wikipedia says this about thundersnow: […]

Thunder Snowstorms in the Midwest

Son, I shovel my own walks.  With the foot of snow presently on my sidewalks I just shovel a path as wide as my little red snow shove.  But these are dangerous times.  My snow shovel has a metal handle.  I am afraid of being struck by lightning. Now that may sound ridiculous.  And for […]

Hillary Clinton Super Tuesday Speech

Son, Hillary Clinton gave an uplifting speech on Super Tuesday.  Clinton and Obama split the vote across the country – so this was not a forceful victory celebration.  But this was probably one of her better presentations as a candidate. Clinton was eloquent, charming,  and her style was refreshing.  She spoke to the people, and […]

Huckabee Speaks on Super Tuesday

Son, Mike Huckabee is talking on television.  I’ll try to capture the essence. “A lot of folks are trying to say this is a two man race.  It is, and we are in it!” “Thanks to Arkansas where we have a wonderful victory here at home.  Thanks to the incredible people who believed in us… […]

Conservatives support Romney – Go Figure

Son, Mitt Romney is the guy who has changed most of his political positions to run for President.  Conservative, by definition, does not like change – Go Figure! He did not like Ronald Reagan.  He supported a woman’s right to choose.  He raised taxes.  He supported State sponsored health care.  He shot a rabbit one […]

Romney slams Bob Dole

Son, Mitt Romney is not a very good politician.  He has a lot of money and he is intelligent and he is good looking and he was a Governor – but he is not a very good politician. Bob Dole wrote a letter to Rush Limbaugh to ask him to ease up on John McCain.  […]

Evangelicals, Legions of Christ?

Son, The evangelicals of America present themselves as the legions of Christ, marching as to war. Ready to sacrifice for their Lord and Savior. Well, who are evangelicals? Some say the are THE witness for Jehovah. Some say they are Saints of the Latter Days. Others claim they immerse themselves in the water of baptism […]

Huckabee uspsets the apple cart

Son, The conservative talk radio jabber has been all about how McCain is not conservative enough.   Vote for Romney they said.  Wee – their strategy is only half working.  The conservative voters are supporting Huckabee. If the trends continue we will have a three man race in the Republican Party.  I am happy for […]

Obama is scoring huge hits

Son, The following numbers were picked up from the wire.  Obama has big leads in Connecticut, Illinois, Alabama, Deleware, New Jersey, and Arizona.  Clinton has a lead in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Early tallies show Clinton with a slim lead in California. Obama is ahead in Utah and New Mexico. It looks to me like […]

McCain Supporters torpedo Romney in W. VA.

Son, The West Virginia Republican primary came to an interesting head today. Mitt Romney got the most votes – but not 50%. Huckabee was second and McCain a distant third. The McCain supporters joined ranks with the Huckabee folks and they managed a 52% victory – denying Romney a victory. This is in-your-face politics. Dad

Tax rebates to Immigrants

Son, What do you think.  A person comes to this country in an undocumented status – that means that he is not supposed to be here.  But he gets a job and works, he pays taxes on his income.  Now we find ourselves in an economic crisis and the Congress wants to rebate money to […]
