Ok, normally when I talk politics I simply talk about what I support vs attacking another viewpoint or perhaps making fun of them.

Weekend convention summary
I posted it in a couple of places, but let's give the traffic (such as I have!!) to this friendly little spot:My Impressions of the California Democratic Party Convention

Recently, DS1's lack of medical/dental insurance has been a huge issue. It has started him off completely in the hole... Continue Reading →

Victory!

VOTE!!
Get out there and vote please!! You cannot bitch about the system unless you do your part :-)Lot's of interest/controversy surrounding the electronic voting machines of course. My polling place had the dreaded Diebold machine. However, it was very easy to use. All of them were working. The best part was that after voting you... Continue Reading →
