Much as I dislike being labeled an old grumpy guy, I plead guilty.

Back to the good fight

November 7th 2011 19:50
:  
Last September, I submitted a post explaining that I had been in the hospital and anticipated rehabilitation in a facility in Tampa. The residential portion of the therapy program ends this week and I am finally going home!

Meanwhile, I have been keeping up with current events, at least to some extent. I note that, during my incapacity, little has changed. The GOP continues to be dominated by the Tea Party while more responsible main-stream Republicans are beginning to understand their predicament! The most likely GOP nominee is likely to be Mitt Romney, whom the Tea Party distrusts as being, God forbid, a centrist. Some of the Far Right would accept nearly anyone if it would oust the President; some would rather keep their purity and start a third party although that would making an Obama defeat less likely

Please help!

I am forced to take a break from writing and, really, even keeping up with the news. About six weeks ago, I was admitted to University Community Hospital in Tampa with Congestive Heart Failure. I was discharged after about ten days, went home, and thereupon, a few days later, fell and fractured my lower arm and wrist and pelvis!

Weeks of rehabilitation are in store and a Hell of discomfort

There are many reasons why polls show Governor Scott to be widely unpopular, with an approval rate at 29% and a disapproval rate of 57%. Social media sites promote Recall, a remedy not available in Florida. There is only one way to rid ourselves of this disaster.

Several years ago, I penned an article Really Long Link

: Always Positive, Sometimes Right
Dear Aaron:

The other day, you said that you were a Republican. You continued that you were pro-life and President Obama was not. The personal opinions of the President, whoever he or she may be, matters little regarding social issues. If you feel strongly about the availability of abortion, direct your concern to Congress and the state legislature

Many sincere people fervently believed the world would end on May 21, 2011. They faced the same dilemma as Birthers. When the sun rose on May 22 and when the president released his birth certificate, many in each group acted in similar fashion.

As nearly everyone in the world who watches television, reads a newspaper and doesn’t live isolated in a cave knows, Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, had predicted the “Rapture” and the end of the world would happen on May 21. Mr. Camping is not just another itinerant preacher. He created the Family Radio Network, a company that now owns 66 radio stations, assets in the hundreds of millions of dollars and an equal number of listeners and followers. For his most recent “end of the world” prediction he and others put up thousands of billboards in many countries and engaged in promoting and warning of the upcoming Judgment day

Untrue stuff that some believe!

May 9th 2011 00:53

There is something in the American psyche that seeks explanation of events through some form of conspiracy. When a fact or event is presented that is either traumatic or contrary to predisposed opinions, one of our first approaches is to look for an evil or secret conspiracy. Moreover there are a vast number of urban legends out there that a portion of the public hold dear.

Rewards to the arrogant and selfish

April 23rd 2011 10:11
Sharing the sacrifice? Where is the anger?

Over the past several years, employees at Gannett Corporation were told of substantial and continued layoffs, unpaid furloughs and reductions in salary and benefits. All of these were, they were told, necessary for the company to continue in business, much less flourish. A matter of survival. The austerity did not extend to the top two executives at Gannett

The hypocrisy of Abortion

April 5th 2011 06:54
A paradox about abortion

Making abortions illegal or more difficult to obtain, including parental notification laws, increases the public health risk, makes injuries or death more likely
