Yikes...I just heard the news this evening that the Bakersfield City Council has now made the decision to implement a plan to increase enforcement of dog license compliance as a means to reduce pet overpopulation here. Nooooooo...
Many are tired of the pet topic -- but it is in the news...

Age seems to be in the news a lot right now.
Teen and young adult women were "rescued" from a polygamist group in Texas, only to be returned because they were deemed old enough to be able to make their own choices.
Now teen girls in Massachussetts — who may have participated in...

I never really noticed it that awful much when I was growing up. I mean, I knew it was there, but it had nothing to do with me or my life..Yet. I was more interested in the vacant lot across Green Street where we would gather as teens and hang out, planning our escapades for the evening. Not...

This is the guy I voted for twice. I am not a man who lives with regrets in any area of my life. Regrets are for the weak and the pitiful, of which I am neither, I simply take what I learn from mistakes and apply that knowledge to future decisions, hopefully avoing the same mistake more than...

A new tax to lower gas prices? Please tell me they are joking! As the senate grilled the heads of Americas largest oil companies as to why prices are so high and what they intend to do about it, they hung thinly veiled threats (probably culled from Obama's speech which he stole from Hillary...

I do not like Hillary Clinton. I disagree with 99.99% of everything that falls from her megalomaniac driven piehole. I believe she is a socialist who would like to see everyone(with the exception of her and her family)in America in the same boat. Her ideas genuinely frighten me as do most short...

I am sick of the "War For Oil" mantra of the uninformed people who blame everything from gas prices to the lastest supernova on Bush. If this war is for oil, where is the OPEC glut that would flood the market to drop oil prices as it did in the 80s and again in the 90s? The Arabs may...

I don't know why, but it still amazes me at how thoughtless, mean and immature so many liberals can be. I suppose I should be used to it, but I am not sure that one should ever get used to such things. I actually hope I never do.

Who in Hell is Jimmy Carter other than the worst president since Andrew Johnson? Well, it's painfully obvious that HE thinks he is still a President! Who gave this nit-wit, closet anti-semite the authority to represent anyone in any country or any government anywhere in the world? I know, to be...

I hate being wrong. Worse than that I hate admitting I was wrong, but I am not above doing so. SO..I was wrong. It pains me even to pen the words. I had to practice..do a few rough drafts, check the spelling. I have yet to say it aloud, but I know that, at some point, I will have to do it.

Sadly enough, Geraldine Ferraro was right. Everyone who knows anything about me and the diversity of my family cannot call me a racist, but my family does know I am a realist, and a damn Politically Incorrect one at that, but hey, the old gal was right.
