  • Politics!

    I’m so excited.  I just can’t hide it!  Voters are turning out in record numbers all across the country.  And now that it’s the middle of February, long past Super-Duper-Ali-uper-Tuesday, record numbers of voters are still turning out for their own primaries!!  We as faithful citizens of this great nation are making ourselves heard.  I’m…

  • Olbermann’s Rant

    Ok, so for my first real “political” blog (’cause the other one I’ve posted is just excitement about voting) it’s important to know something.  My ideas about our government and how it is run swing decidedly to the left.  I’m not going to put stuff up here in any way to persuade anyone else that I’m right and…

  • Who’s a Nazi?

    President Bush appeared to launch a political attack against Presidential hopeful Barack Obama and his Foreign Policy statement that he was willing to be in dialogue with any nation who was willing.  Bush said: Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been…

  • Annual Conference

    The church of which I am a part holds a conference each year where pastoral and lay (non-pastoral) leadership gather together to celebrate ministry and deal with various administrative issues as well as ordain new clergy.  This isn’t just one church, but representation for roughly 400 churches in Southern California plus several Pacific Island locations. …

  • Interesting Idea for Energy

    Watching the news today, I saw an add from a guy named T. Boone Pickens saying that he had an idea about energy and the way we use energy in the U.S.  I couldn’t resist checking out his website, and I have to say that it’s a very interesting idea.  Click the image here to…

  • …and Another!

    I was listening to the radio yesterday and a talk show host named Johnny Wendell shared another interesting idea related to our current energy woes.  First he tossed out some figures, so let’s go over those and assume that they’re correct (’cause I’m not gonna take the time now). He says that one-in-six Americans work…

  • McCain Palin by Comparison

    I wish I had more time.  I wish I had more time to expound on my ideas on this election season.  I really and truly think that Senator McCain pales in comparison to Senator Obama. In the issue I think is most important today, Economics, John McCain subscribes to the trickle-down philosophy made “popular” by…

  • Two Things

    First of all, I want to take a minute to talk about the negative ads.  While it’s true that I’m an Obama supporter and that I argue that McCain’s ads are far more insidious than Obama’s, I have seen a disturbing trend as both candidates continue to go more and more negative.  I’ve been frequenting…

  • Hell no don’t bail them out!

    So after many months of being nagged to blog on his fabulous site and listening to all the fantastic things my husband has had to say in his blogs, I fianlly am popping the cork on blogging rhodesnetwork style. In all that has been going on in politics in the last few months, the one thing that…
