As an Alaskan, I would respectfully request that Republican pundits, talking heads, politicians and strategists… and Barbara Bush… stop trying to give Sarah Palin back to us.

If you are afraid she’s going to run for president and thereby kill your hopes of winning the White House back in 2012, I’d suggest you find out why YOUR voters are so
Is it possible?
Is it possible that god screwed my left ear in too tightly when I was made? Or is it just that I am suffering from the worse cold in all human history?

Conservatives running back to Congress to eviscerate the health care bill as an exemplar of federal spending gone wild, ignore the fact that during the Bush years they cut taxes and dramatically increased spending on two wars without giving an apparent hoot in hell where the money would come from. Deficit spending on a war of choice apparently fits with their fiscal

Bye, bye Joey…..
And so it starts
The madness… the shopping frenzies… the incessant music… those damned singing chipmunks…
Wake my up January 1.
My credit card story for 2010
Every once in a while when I think the world of politics is going to drive me mad… ok, madder… something happens in the commercials realm that proves to me that politicians and government do not have the monopoly on idiocy.
I tried to pay my credit card bill online recently. A message popped up that denied me access because there was a “problem”. Since I’d just spent a larger amount than normal at a home improvement store, I thought maybe they were being cautious about my card’s continued safety.
I called the number given for problems, then entered every
