With Clinton’s win in Pennsylvania, Democratic drama continues. Obama and Clinton are both doing McCain and the Republican party a huge favor by throwing mud and bringing out each others dirty laundry. I’m getting sick of this. The longer it takes to nominate a Democratic candidate, the better it is for Republicans. Democrats are confusing [...]

Monique and I disagree when I claim I’m apolitical. I’m passionate about humanity and everything that is associated with humans. She would argue that is precisely the definition of politics. Both Monique and I have strong opinions and neither of us budge from our point of views. We end by agreeing to disagree. A friend [...]

This mud throwing and digging up dirt on opponents in politics is getting old. I guess this will continue until the election in November. While New York Gov.

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday here in the US. I’m not inspired but am weary of the result. Candidates who could have brought about much needed change, in both domestic and foreign policies, conceded very early in the race.

Late last night I realized I hadn’t paid for a pending speeding ticket. That meant I had to go to the court house. In the last 3 months, I seem to be getting a lot of traffic tickets, four so far. Maybe I’m making up for years of no tickets. Or, as my [...]
