Do me a favor. Click on the Maggie's Notebook link in my sidebar to see the story I am referring to. I am out and about today and I don't know how to set up links when posting via email.But this is one of the most important issues of our day. Does the fact that the house passed a short-term continuing budget resolution instead of a long-term omnibus spending bill spell the end of obamacare? It will be sweet relief to know that our elected reps will get a crack at repairing the damage done by the previous congress sooner rather than later. Heck,...

Un-helmeted 5-year-old girl and young man killed in ski collision
Please wear helmets when you ski. Especially your kids should wear helmets when they ski. As I always tell potential motorcycle riders, even if you are "good", someone can always slam into the back of you when you are stopped at a red light. Seriously, I have been rear-ended at lights in my car more than once. So apparently this mother and her 5-year-old little girl were stopped in the middle of a ski run at the bottom of a black diamond run...

Dem believes that GOP "stranglehold" is due to the uneducated
I click one innocent-looking link to a census story on Huffpo and one of the first comments I read is a doozie. Basically says that the only reason Republicans have a hold on this nation is because the Republican base are rubes. Never properly graduated high school, and thus are easily fooled by the dastardly Karl Rove. Could it possibly be that the "republican strangle hold" is due to independents realizing that the democrats were socialists in...

Turning Kassam rocket shrapnel into fundraiser for Israeli bombshelters
How does one fight back against rockets that rain from the sky? Maybe a little Alinsky-style ridicule. Maybe publicizing heart-wrenching stories of victims. One Israeli artist, Yaron Bob, has used his metal-working skill to turn rockets into roses. The funds support construction of Israeli bomb shelters in endangered neighborhoods. The gifts range from $25 keychains to larger bouquets costing thousands.XL Fine Petal Rosemade from Kassam RocketsCollector's...

Oregon sends millionaires screaming, tax revenues plummet.
Maybe the liberals watched too many films of Robin Hood in their youth. For whatever reason, they believe that raising taxes on the "rich" (in CA making 250K puts you in the middle class) will make the state richer so they can give the money to the poor. Reality shows how the "rich" migrate to other states and everybody in the prior state is poorer. When will the libs ever learn!Oregon raised its income tax on the richest 2% of its residents last year to fix its budget hole, but now the state treasury admits it collected nearly one-third less...

Will Saudi King Abdullah move site of Ground Zero Mosque?
Saudi King Abdullah proposes to move the ground zero mosque to a site in Manhattan away from ground zero. St. Vincent hospital went into bankruptcy in April 2010, and another company is proposing to knock it down to build luxury apartments. The Saudi king wants to reopen the hospital and add a mosque and community center. This sounds fine to me. I hope the ground zero mosque issue goes away. Any other site is fine. And if a hospital is saved in the process, all the better. And King Abdullah knows something about American hospitals. He...

Bethlehem tourism up
Bethlehem tourism is up this year due to a decrease in violence. This is good news for the west bank and for Christians. Hotels are sold out and four new ones are under construction. 90,000 visitors are expected during the Christmas season this year, up from 70,000 the year before. I wonder how many are visiting the Bethlehem maternity hospit...

Woman whipped for wearing trousers-Warning: Graphic Video
Apparently flogging women under Sharia law is s common event. Not so common is that it was filmed. The Sudanese government is now not so sure it was done properly. Maybe they object to the filming and bad press. This is a torture video, very disturbing. As officials look on, smiling and laughing.

Stalling implementation of Obamacare is essential
The decision by the judge in Virginia that the mandate to force people to buy Obamacare in unconstitutional is great news. Of course we all knew Obamacare was unlawful, but we do need the courts to protect us. What other goods and services could the government force us to buy if this were allowed to stand? Stalling any and all implementation is essential. We will lose doctors immediately once doctors find they can no longer pay their overhead and keep their offices op...

Friday Follies, Saturday Stupidity, Sunday Salvation
I have had it up to HERE with this presidency. I really have. And the Democrats. All year they have connived their way through the halls of power doing the exact OPPOSITE of what they promised. They told us there would be transparency in Washington. Was we got were Friday evening info dumps. Of course the big things would happen on Friday. The talk show hosts won't be able to comment until Monday and America is busy with weekend plans.Also,...

They just nullified 70% of American voters. When you don't count all the "new" voters, that is.Can someone PLEASE pry the gavel from that woman's HAND????? When will the nightmare e...

Rest in Peace, Elizabeth Edwards
Oh dear. I didn't know she was so close to the end when I read stories this week that she decided to halt treatment. This must be sudden for her family even though they knew she was sick. I lost a friend a little over a year ago to breast cancer and this brings it all back. I can only hope that she was at peace at the end and that her family can find some way to deal with this. She was so young to leave children ages 10 and 12. How s...

Spare me the clutter.
In my quest to rid my home of clutter this past year, I have been culling out junk that has not been used or touched in years. The Christmas/Chanukkah season tends to pull us in the other direction, and there is some laughable stuff that just arrived in the circular from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Can't manage to find your cupcake pan? Why not buy a 30-dollar machine that takes up 4 times as much room and give it to your child:Like popcorn? Why...
