"Do not attempt to adjust your set. We now control the horizontal and the vertical" Well, there is no more horiz and vert control, but they do control the rest of it. Who are "They" and why do they care?

I have been thinking about this, and listening. Listening to the President, to the naysayers, to those who believe we can never be fixed and those who think we are fine as we are. I have listened to politicians,celebrities, foreigners, coworkers, relatives and friends.

I went to see the motorcade, the President, but this isn't about that. So, today, these are the signs people were holding.. hoping the president would see them. None of these are made up. All are from pictures we took at today's rally by Dobson High in Mesa Arizona

Okay, so I am not going to plead the fifth on this one. I want to know why we don't give a damn about this. Why is it under the fold, second page news?

This part of the "stimulus" bill hasn't been talked about as much as other things, but I have just read the plan, and wonder if others out there would think it is a good idea. It seems like it could be, but I think I will have to wait and see.

OKay, I might agree that to an outsider, that when a local Phoenix station breaks in with a Special Report because it is summer and it is raining, it would seem silly. Actually, that is one of the better uses of Breaking News, here in our valley of the sun.

I have followed this story as it has developed, just as many others have done. It's the Nadya Suleman, or Doud, story. About having 8 babies. At first it was a miracle, then as days went by, maybe not so much. I have read every article, maybe even too many.

I feel fortunate to have been able to witness the "swearing in" of our new president, in a 3rd grade classroom. To begin with, working in this grade, I have found that it could be the most interesting school year in elementary school.

As a long time Mesa resident, I have looked forward to the opening of the Lite Rail since it's inception. In my younger days, I had used the local bus system to try to get me where I was going.

In the last six months I have heard so much of how we don't need government controlling what we do, we are a free country, and we should be able to make our own decisions about certain things.

Once again, I am revising this. It has been a month since I wrote the original article. I haven't had time to keep up with posting the layoffs, stores closing etc. I have added a few, also have seeded some articles that define the state of our country as truely Ironic.

I haven't been myself on here much lately. I haven't been on here much lately at all. I have missed so many political conversations that I may even end up voting for the wrong guy.
