ot a lot to cover with this Blog post. For TV, we review a silly, but somewhat truthful, fashion show-TLC's "What Not to Wear". Also, some commentary on Jeopardy's Watson. Got a book review on an entertaining book-Baldacci's "Absolute Power". What happens if the President of the U.S. commits a murder? Some political stuff, stories of Delaware grass root Republicans trying to wrest back their political party Blue Blood elite, a theory on Christine O'Donnell's reason for dancing, and a bit of satire: "Mama, Make You Kids Grow Up to be Teachers." A little bit of cooking, a casserole of...

Over the past few weeks I've been compiling various ping lists via requests on some of my Freep posts. This is the first viewing offered. It's sparse; I'm sure there's plenty more Freep ping lists out there. And it's not viewed by millions. But I will put the URL in my sig line when I post on FreeRepublic and I'm a frequent poster. I will also be designing a big banner on my sidebar for folks who read my regular Blog posts. Might get some attention. There's instructions on the post how to add your ping list to this Blog...

TV Review-"Grey's Anatomy", "Private Practice". One's a bit captivating, one is a story about basically nothing. Both are medial and might keep a viewer's interest. Movie Review-"MegaMind" is a story about good versus evil. Nothing new about this.Except in MegaMind, it gets confusing as to who is evil and who is the good guy. Book Review "The Great Deluge" by David Brinkley. Took me two months to read this book. Bus as a Hurricane Katrina aficionado I had to do it. The book made me realize the REAL reason the aftermath of Katrina was so chaotic. AND it changed my...

We’ve got politics, true crime, three TV reviews and some miscellaney. “Dancing With the Stars”, “Not Your Ordinary Family”, and “The Defenders” get a look-see and a review. The dancers are into it and we have some thoughts on who’s great, who’s hot, who’s not; two guys defend the bad guys in Vegas and they are, of course, always innocent; and a family with all members having super powers and they’re not on Oprah?

Time to catch up on politics,new TV shows, Guest posts and some amusing miscellaney. Here’s a review of two new shows: “The Whole Truth”-a stellar series about a prosecutor and some spellbinding tales. “Chase” is a series about U.S. marshalls and some, eh, “chase and capture” scenes. One we look forward to, the other we’ll not watch again. Christine O’Donnell won Delaware’s primary for U.S. Senator. We’ve got some recent pics and video of her and many thoughts on where Delaware’s GOP might be going. Guest Writer Michelle goes to Disneyland and takes the readers along with her. Finally, some...

Just announced on our local talk radio station.... The Christine O'Donnell just got an official endorsement by Sarah Palin.

I happen to know Christine O'Donnell. Have known her since 2005. She's not my BFF but I've had occasion to talk to her one on one, I've criticized her from time to time. But no mistake, she is a woman who has my admiration. It's almost been a hurting thing to listen to the attacks on her character by the Blue Blood Ruling Class Republicans in this state, including mighty Mike Castle, her opponent who voted FOR Cap and Trade and that awful DISCLOSE act, voting with the liberals most of the time but calling himself a Republican, I don't...

Mike Castle is running to replace Joe Biden. Mike Castle is a Republican but do not be fooled. For he voted for Cap and Trade and most other Dem. legislation. Now Delaware wants to seat him during the upcoming lame duck session. We also have a book review or an older Ann Rule book, "Everything She Ever Wanted", some information on joint pain, America's Top Ten Pet Names, monarch caterpillars and convertion an aquarium from salt water to fresh...the good, the bad, the ugly.

If you’re a Conservative, If you’re a Tea Partier, here’s a book that you have GOT to read. FreeRepublic regular Gary Bray penned the book “Brayn Food”, subtitled “For the Tea Patriot Hungry for The Truth”. It’s a little Coulter, a little Levin, a lot Gary Bray, who finally took to publishing his whimsical, thoughtful and very true thoughts in a book that the world, even liberals, can finally “get it”.

Really bad people tend not to accept their get-out-of-jail-free cards and go off to live a quiet, low-key life, thankful for the freedom they don't deserve. No. Like Oj Simpson, and now the fine, fine Joran Vandersloot, they continue along with their wreckless ways. Too bad stupid juries and corrupt investigators allow them one more murder before they finally get put away for the safety of all.

"Robot Hearts" is a well-written compilation of online dating adventures, the good, the bad and the ugly. My own story-"We Did It!"- is included in this collection and it may well be the only one with a happy ending.

Here are a couple of reviews on a book review blog but as a bonus, a review of the latest and greatest HP mini-computer 210. The book is “What Sex Is a Republican” by Terri McCormick. But it’s not a book about sex in any fashion. It IS a book about politics and it’s a book especially designed for new and wannabe political activists. Tea partiers, this is your book!

Yes there really was a flood of molasses in Boston in the early 18th century, and as improbable as it seems, the reality is horrifying. And yes, sometimes a woman is so dumb she's married to a killer and doesn't know it. Reviews of "Dark Tide" and "Mafia Wife"…both older books but worth a new look. HERE FOR REVIEWS

It's two True Crime book reviews, one of an older book and one brand new. The so-called "chicken coop" murders detailed in "The Road to Hell" left me mesmerized and spell-bound with excellent writing and a compelling story. "False Arrest" is about a woman who was innocent of the murder charged against her. At least the author convinced me. The Old and the New It was just the weirdest thing. I’d posted a book review on a web site I frequent. It was of an older book but I do book reviews on all books that I read, even those...

We're gonna have Vikings and Dragons from now through next Christmas as the merchandisers rush to cash in on Pixar's latest offering: "How to Train Your Dragon". It's a great movie, if formulaic. Kids from four to fourteen will love it, as will their adult companions for its action, 3-D effects and colorful characters. A review and a few complaints. ”How To Train Your Dragon”-3D and Endless Merchandising It’s not that I have any problem with merchandising a movie. I’ve long ago become accustomed to such as little toys associated with a movie being included as part of McDonald’s Happy...
