Death Panels: To Be Deemed the Most Non-Existent Reality of 2010?

Over and over and over again, we hear how fear mongers and wing-nuts are falsely claiming there are “death panels” where death panels do not exist.

Obama:  If my word’s not good enough…

Obama: If my word’s not good enough…

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com No, your word is not good enough. Ask the foreign countries what they think of your “word” or the “word” presented in your behalf.   You dare ask us to trust you & take your word, after all the lies that have come out of your administration?

Oh, how deliciously ironic…

Oh, how deliciously ironic…

“Obama tells congressional leaders he won’t negotiate on shutdown, debt“???… oh, how deliciously ironic.  If Obama won’t negotiate on any of those things — or anything — what is he willing to negotiate on? Things have gotten out of hand.  (Actually, they got out of hand long ago.)  There was no reason that the Democrats … Continue reading

Victims of Government Shutdown vs Victims of Obamacare

Victims of Government Shutdown vs Victims of Obamacare

There are numerous stories about the employees being affected by the government shutdown and we are only two days into their financial nightmare.  Understand that I’m not wishing for, or happy about, anyone losing their income, but wait a minute… the shutdown is only temporary — Obamacare financial losses are long term, if not permanent.  … Continue reading

Divide & Conquer: A Statement We Desperately Need to Remember

Divide and conquer is what an organized enemy does before going in for the win.  It’s perhaps time that “we” take note of what has been happening in our world.  We have been divided and we are being defeated at every turn.  “We” meaning all of us that are not on the elite pedestal of … Continue reading

Write Fearlessly!

Write Fearlessly!

A few years into my career as a fulltime freelance writer, I got a phone call from an editor. I had written several books for her in the past, and she liked my work. “Jim,” she said, “are you sitting down? I have a celebrity autobiography I want you to co-write, and you just won’t … Continue reading

There Was a Time

There Was a Time

But… it didn’t begin there… nor does it … Continue reading
