Our life is turning into “Fiddler on the Roof”…..
When I was in 7th grade, my parents took me to see our High School’s performance of “Fiddler on the Roof”. They created a bit of a monster, I’m afraid; I’ve been a huge fan of musicals from that day forward. I’ve seen … Continue reading
My daughter sent me an OWS link!
I’m dealing with some family stuff today, so I’ll just share this with you guys – DD#2 just sent it to me, and I thought it was pretty good: She and I don’t always see eye-to-eye on politics, but we … Continue reading

The 1% – they’re everywhere!
Just wanted to put a face on “The 1%” for the kids of OWS to see. I’m sure they will attempt to “reach across the aisle” when they see that the 1% isn’t any different from them! An industrialist (Click … Continue reading
The spam is getting waaaaaaayyy too smart….
I got the following comment for approval on my blog, but I have my doubts that it’s a “real” comment. Judging from the e-mail address, those OccupyWallStreet kids have some really, really smart spam:
The Brains behind “Airhead Autumn”
I got lambasted in comments on a post that I did a couple of weeks ago for daring to suggest that “Occupy Wall Street” was anything other than a spontaneous grass-roots gathering (OWS wasn’t even the subject of the post). But everything that I had read about … Continue reading
