I found this cool t-shirt in Santa Fe last week. I’m not an Apache, but a card-carrying Choctaw. Still, I sort of identify with these four “dudes”. My people signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and shuffled off to OK. I guess Mississippi wasn’t worth fighting for. And as for the date, Columbus wasn’t [...]

Here’s the question: Why aren’t all the smart people rich? The Answer: The basic problem with the free enterprise system is that it often rewards the wrong people with the money…… As economist Walter Bagehot pointed out,“At particular times a great deal of stupid people have a great deal of stupid money.” I’m really poor….

I Quote: Amendment # 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ” That means that the state shall not establish an state sponsored religion, they shall respect ALL RELIGIONS and make them all feel welcome in [...]

I hereby award J.J. the nickel-plated copper star award with the Presidential Seal imprint for having the most (so far) comments (24) on individual post entitled The Next Prez – a political quagmire of simplicity……… As an appropriate ending comment to that post, which will undoubtedly start a new onslaught of comments, I submit this [...]

I’m sure everyone’s aware of our larger cities across America selling the naming rights for pubic buildings built with taxpayers funds to private corporations…… I, personally, think this is criminal and should be viewed as a “conflict of interest” in that it is nothing more than an unfair business advantage and not only gives the [...]

Here are some quotes from an article out of Friday’s The Oklahoman about how the poor oil industry is just barely surviving with all the devastating weather and oil shortages……. “DALLAS – Exxon Mobil Corp. rewrote the corporate record books Thursday as the oil company’s third-quarter earnings soared to almost $10 billion, and it became [...]

The Guess Who had a hit in 1970 with “Share the Land.” But the song was banned across the South because politicians thought it was promoting communism…… As the band explained, the song was about heaven…….

Newspaper columnist Molly Ivins reported [...]

Iraq’s parliament has given in to UN and US pressure to modify voting rules in a forthcoming referendum on the constitution. Originally the assembly decided that the two-thirds majority needed in three provinces to defeat the landmark charter would be counted from all registered voters rather than actual voters. Now the parliament has passed a [...]

I was watching a program on PBS about events that shaped the sixties. People in the streets, the war, etc. We have a similar war now but very few people in the streets even considering the latest protest in D.C. Where is everyone? Will it take more years of war to piss people off? Does [...]
