Free Republic

The last time the country faced a fiscal crisis, they devised some kind of hare-brained scheme that would have certain "default" actions will take place at year end. Oh the political class talked sweetly to us. "We'll put off difficult decisions until after the election," they told us. So by default, if congress does nothing, millions will be cut from the defense budget, the so-called Bush tax cuts will expire, and other pre-ordained expenses will be cut. Folks, those political voodoo artists don't want to fix a thing. Cause EVERYTHING THE POLITICIANS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEY SCREWED UP! Think about...

So we have a new President who was our old President and let me state right now, big and clear, that I respect the will of the people. The stock market plunges and no one should be surprised at this. Anybody who ever succeeded in achieving a comfortable financial life is now the target but hey, the people have spoken. And the people want free cell phones and food stamps, the hell with working. There are two good things to have come from the re-election of President Obama. It's small comfort but let's look at the bright side. First, I...

Chock full of debate information. Some snarky pics. HERE

The theater was packed. "2016: Obama's America" was playing at the local Midway theater in Lewes, Delaware. The movie run began the Friday before Labor Day and I rejoiced. No one goes to the movies "downey ocean" on Labor Day weekend. I decided to go on Labor Day proper. Let the tourists stay at the beach, I was going to the movies. The place was packed. Oh there were a few empty seats but believe me, I go to those movies all the time, granddaughter in tow, and usually about the same time, a middle of the day hour, a...

Not an Endorsement but a Good Case for Newt Also, some thinking about the social security "entitlement" and other political froufrou The Case for Newt It happened in Delaware, it's full of intriguing politics.

The Sheriff, The County Councilman, , The Attack, and Finally Some Logical Conclusions From the Swamps of Delaware

This article, written by me as the whole thing happened within two miles of my home, is NOT on my Blog. I thought about putting my story up on FreeRep because there's some really interesting stories about this woman that came to light AFTER I wrote the article. People have been stealthily emailing me all sorts of things. This episode of Extreme Home Makeover aired the Friday before Thanksgiving. Some of you might have seen it. For now let me tell you of one story I've been getting, don't know it it's true, but this ladies' son, who got his...

… this story of Louis Zemperini was a tale that grabs the reader by both the heart and the guts and keeps a clenched fist on both throughout the read.

The National Chair of the Republican Party came to the swamps of Delaware last week. We’ve got some pics and video. Here’s hoping that peace will once upon descend upon our local GOP that so disrupted our group during the candidacy of Christine O’Donnell. We’ve got a book review of a book that tells a most amazing story. It might be a tale of a famous world’s fair or it might be a shocking story of a serial killer. It mesmerizes, it teaches, it leaves the reader with so much to ponder. It’s “Devil in the White City”. Some links...

Two Books reviews: “Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil” by John Berendt and “Who Named the Knife” by Linda Spalding. One a study of murder and life in Savannah, Georgia, the other, also a true crime genre, is a lesson in just how silly liberals can get. Been reviewing this summer’s hottest reality tv shows, including “ The Bachelorette”, “America’s Got Talent”, “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Project Runway”, “Big Brother”. Check them out. Guest writer Michelle’s got a new WII and weeeeee, check it out. Finally, a lesson for those faux-green fools and how to REALLY put a cap on burning fossil fuels....

We have a review of the Disney documentary “African Cats”. Marvelous camera work but not for every 7 year old. Also, it was the last book written before his death, Michael Crichton’s “Pirate Latitudes” is full of action, color and a true history or pirates and Jamaica. Kaitlyn pays a visit to grandmother and what a capitalist the child turns out to be. But she works hard and earns some big bucks. Her “art”, however…well she calls it “abstract”. Some miscellany for smiles and opinions. What’s with Chastity Bono? Can anybody really change their sex?  Also, the story of the dung beetle and...

Catching up on the gardens this week we've lots of pics of the plants this spring of 2011. It's good but there's some horticultural editing needed. Here's a movie review of RIO, an animated film as pretty to watch as too the joyful plot. With an amusing story of a "Blue" bird that visited my own modest backyard. We’ve got a book review of a book that’s nebulous as to weather it’s fiction or non-fiction. It’s True Crime, the story of a cabal of murder investigators of the highest merit. They solve the unsolved crimes of the era and they’re...

We've got a book review for Baseball Fans-George Will's "Men At Work". Yes the man's a Conservative Pundit but he knows a thing or two about baseball. Or a thousand, or a million, things or two. Couple of TV reviews-For the 2011 season, a "Dancing With the Stars" update as well as what will turn out to be the best season ever for "Celebrity Apprentice". Also, a former Desperate Housewife turns Medical Examiner in "Body of Proof". Some political tidbits, including a horror story of the gubmint coming to "help" and our terror at same. Some Delaware politics and an update on...

Got a book review on the 60’s musical “HAIR”. Yes it’s a musical that defined a generation. This book, titled, appropriately, “Hair” by Eric Groce is chock full of history, pictures, lyrics and memories of this former ersatz hippie.   For movies we’ve got a peek into that cuter than cute “Gnomeo and Juliet”. Yes it’s an adorable animated story for the young ones but what about this movie so offended me?   In TV we’ve got a lookover of the 2011 American Idol contenders, a prediction on the top five, and some critiques of the judges even.   Couldn’t...
