As you know, Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of my personal heroes.  He stood less than 5′7″ yet he was an absolute giant of a man.  You may or may not agree with everything Martin Luther King, Jr. said or with every single stance he took, but you have to applaud the fact that he dedicated his [...]

Politically Correct

by joi on December 13, 2007

As the Iowa caucuses are looming, things are getting profoundly interesting in an arena where interesting isn’t often the code word. If you’re like a lot of people, you’ve gotten pretty disenchanted with politics and, even, politicians.  Maybe even to the point of not following the news.  I heard a man on television say he couldn’t [...]

by joi on December 1, 2007

Are you giving yourself cancer? - That’s the question a very informative poll on AOL asks. There are only 10 questions in all, so it takes hardly any time at all to get through them.  After each answer, you’re given a short paragraph that tells why your answer is healthy or why you may be giving yourself cancer. 
You’ll learn:

Why [...]

Okay, it’s beyond time for someone, somewhere, with a heck of a lot more know how and power than me to do something about manufacturers failing to do their jobs properly.  With all the recalls recently, I still get a little nervous when picking out cat food - to say nothing of foods ranging from spinach to beef.  Grocery Stores are beginning [...]

Lessons From OUTSIDE the Dog House

by joi on November 8, 2007

For my money, the best place to learn a lesson is OUTSIDE of the dog house, looking in - long BEFORE you find yourself inside the the dog house, looking out. The view there’s as pleasant as an upskirt shot of somebody’s great-great grandmother.
