Sorry I've been away for awhile but I will be posting some book reviews and political comments from time to time now
Thanks

Missed making entries for awhile but I'm back.
We need a gasoline tax or we are never going to be free from our dependence on the oil purchased from our enemies!! We need to make sure that the future of Social Security is safe. We have to defeat the party of 'No' in November. We have to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan ....now. The cost of these 2 unwinnable wars in service men and women killed and for materiel is over 3 trillion dollars. Our recovery depends on cutting our defense budget. We have to put a tariff on goods from China.....we can't continue to operate at a deficit with the Chiness
Enough thoughts for awhile
Please comment if you come across my blog

Sorry for my absence of late.......my mind has been occupied with getting Healthcare reform passed. Now I only hope that there is enough time for more citizens to realized how good a start this is......and not take their anger out at the polls.

Palin,Palin

That's all you here these days. Stories about the former Mayor of Wasilla and former Governor of Alaska. You never hear that she voted 'for' the 'Bridge to Nowhere' until she voted against it.....or of the several ethical investigations about her......or that she went to 7 colleges before she got a degree. ....or that she wasn't sure that Africa was a country or a continent. Oh yeah, or that she put into the discussion of heath care reform the term......'death panels'.....A whole lot of garbage about a person who some think should run for President in 1012 !!! Someone has to be brave enough to take her down a peg or two.

Whether the Republicans can be brought to the table or not, health care must be passed now! And yes , a public option must be part of the bill. Malpractice reform is acceptable and we should be able to order drugs from Canada !!

First Time Author with a Great Book

Charles McCain has just published a terrific first novel....'An Honorable German' . An exciting story of WWII from the perspective of a young German Naval Officer. Max Brekendorf was a dedicated officer but not a Nazi or an ideologue and his views of the war kept evolving as he escaped one battle after another. A fascinating and well documented book of historical fiction. A must read!

Cheney has memory failure

Seems Dick Cheney forgot to mention that they never found the WMDs or that there was any connection between Saddam Hussein and Al-qaida and that there were 50 warnings about an impending attack on the US before 9/11
