Ten Post Round-Up: Aloha Friday
I have struggled and scraped for the last several days to find something, anything, to consider “good news” or “positive news”. I didn’t realize how hard it would be.
With the recent deployment of my husband, back to Iraq, this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about how bad news can be seen as good [...]
28 retired generals want an end to “Don’t ask, don’t tell”.
With the 14th anniversary of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” upon us, 28 retired generals and admirals are releasing a joint statement that condemns’ the practice according to the NY Times this morning. This couldn’t be better timing in my humble opinion. Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when [...]
Rendition and torture, it’s the American way?
The European newspaper, the TimesOnline had an interesting article this past Sunday. What bothers me that I can’t find anything similar in the US media. I googled the main phrase ‘flight logs, cia’ and only got the European write-ups, with the exception of a two-year old CommonDreams article reprinted from a French news media outlet. [...]
The Resister
It’s been a long time since I was in the Army. I was drafted in 1968 and I served 22 months in all, with the last 12 being in Vietnam. I was a combat infantryman in a mortar platoon. I always had some shame after Vietnam. I was always ashamed that I didn’t see the [...]

As the dollar drops, so goes the US credit rating.
I slogged through my email’s this morning..my mind on other things..when I hit on one from Newsweek that caught my attention. The title: ‘In the Realm of the Dying Dollar’ was enough for me to sit still and read it through. I have heard lately that europeans and canadians are flocking to our shores to [...]
peace protesters and free speech
In a conversation the other day about the Peace Vigil that takes place once per week here in Ashland, we wondered why we didn’t hear much, overall, about protests, either that they are held, or that they had anyone in attendance. Not about the small gathering here in Ashland, but on the National level, in [...]
Ten Post Round-Up: Positive Vibration Wednesday
It’s Wednesday, yo! I’m sure that about three or four of you *wink* noticed that I did not post a positive round-up, yesterday (my Firefox browser updated itself, but didn’t update my add-ons which included an excellent html editor in which I transformed my posts into web worthy postings. Now, I have to [...]

Co-operation … makes it happen
Co-operation … working together
Dig it!
Co-operation … makes it happen
Co-operation … working together

Ten Post Round-Up: Lazy Monday
Oh, snap! It’s Monday!
Don’t you just hate the Monday after a major holiday? Makes me glad that I’m a stay-at-home mom, Sunday thru Wednesday and that I home-school my children so that I don’t have to wrestle with them on Monday mornings. I can enjoy my morning cuppa in peace and snicker [...]
