I don’t like New Year’s Eve.  I never have.   It’s not that we have to look cheerful regardless of how we truly feel, put up with drunks, blow horns and sing the depressing  Auld Lang Syne about forgotten acquaintances and lost love. If it were only that.  No, I think...

It’s Friday!  So, it’s time for this week’s OpinionList.  Here it is, published a few minutes after midnight on Friday night (that is, very early on Saturday) due to internet problems: Romney didn’t want to be President:  Tagg Romney has recently revealed that his...

If I were to tell you that I’m shocked about Wayne LaPierre’s speech on Sandy Hook, I would be lying.  The first time I became familiar with his enlightened position on guns was last year when I read an article in the New York Times entitled, N.R.A. Declines To Meet With Obama On...

Here it is, this week’s OpinionList: Crist turns Democrat:  Ex-Florida GOP Governor Charlie Crist turned Democrat……I love it when a Republican wakes up and smells the coffee. Republican consultant admits voter suppression tactics: We know that voter suppression is a tactic...

I’m having a bad day, and it’s not even noon yet.  Early this morning, when I went to check my blog stats, I had a message that there is a new WordPress version (3.5).  Before I go any further, you need to know that I’m an organization freak.  Yes, I make sure that my...

I’m an Apple fanatic.  I have everything Apple. I won’t list all of my Apple possessions here because I don’t want you to think that I’m showing off. Last month, my husband and I got into an Apple discussion at the breakfast table. He tells me that, in 3 years, Apple...

Last Thursday, The Huffington Post reported that One Million Moms, a conservativa media watch group (and website) founded by AFA (American Family Association) was angry over a JC Penney ad featuring Ellen Degeneres talking to three Christmas elves. In the ad, Degeneres makes a couple of...
