There was a discussion a while back about how schools keep taking away games and stuff kids have been known to play for many years because of a few complaints (cry babies if you ask me). Most recently the elimination of the game of tag from a school in Colorado. In the discussion someone mentioned how now a day any kids can join a sports team, unlike before only those who could play the game made the team. I don’t know, it makes sense to me. If you can’t play baseball, why let you on the t...

In the latest development of over crowdedness in the US jail system, the police in DES MOINES, Iowa arrested a man who assaulted his father with none other than Chester Cheetah’s favorite weapon, a bag of Cheetos. Yes, this vicious man said to be on “methamphetamine at the time of the argument”, according to Fox News, went on a Cheetos rampage and threw the bag hitting his father in the face cutting him on the bridge of his nose. It is my opinion that the father should sue Chester Cheetah ...

While I’m sure reckless motorcycle drivers are in abundance all across the US, Florida legislators decided it was time to make the existing punishments harsher. Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, R-Miami, sponsor of the bill Offenses Committed While Operating a Motorcycle (HB 137), believes that harsher punishment for reckless motorcycle drivers could be the solution to the problem or bike riders who fly thru Florida roads and highways sometimes exceeding the speed limit by 50 or more MPH and/or d...

I think we are heading in the wrong direction when it comes to doing what is best for this country. We seem to be focusing more on those who have the ability to survive by their own will and ignoring or mishandling those who truly need our help. I despise any Gov’t program that gives free money, free food and free benefits to fully capable people who can work and make a living on their own. Having been on welfare and having family members on it, I can’t stand the idea of giving money to pe...

Sooner or later people will forget the US exist or ever existed. All thanks to our own people and the need to make as much money possible, especially from those who are not too fond of our country and people. In case you didn't know by the summer of 2009 expect to, most likely, see G.I Joe the movie, a movie that will probably call as much attention of the fans as Transformers did. Just don't expect to see "A Real American Hero". Nope, according to FoxNews.com : Paramount has confirmed...

Inspired by ModerateMan’s article “ NOW This one is guaranteed to blow your mind! ”, I came across some interesting facts about Americans and guns while doing some research (I’m learning, aren’t I?). Did you know that the US is the most armed country with 90 guns for every 100 people? That’s about 270 million guns in the US at this moment. Wow, that’s a lot of guns; all thanks to the US Constitution and its Second Amendment. India followed with 4 guns per every 100 people and China was thi...

Bill, you never seize to amaze me. The man deserves some props, even if he is a Democrat. I actually found what he had to say about Palin quite respectable. For once a politician from the Democratic party comes out against Palin, in a nice way. "why say, ever, anything bad about a person? Why don’t we like them and celebrate them and be happy for her elevationto the ticket? And just say that she was a good choice for him and wedisagree with them?" These were Bill Clinton's words about Pali...

I asked in a previous article of mine if racism was still alive and well in the US ( link ). From the comments it seems to be and still with much steam behind it. But who are the ones keeping this idea alive? The answer would have been simple had those who were racist were the only ones being racist. But the answer is more complicated than that. You see, not only those who are racist spread this terrible concept, but those who are the ones being insulted by this racism also become racist when th...

Wow, I have seen some really stupid things people complain about. But this one takes the cake for me. In North Carolina, 10,000 License Plate holders will be allowed to change their plates for free after some children pointed out to their parents an interesting combination of letters on the plates that could be offensive to some people who see it. The letters "WTF" were randomly created on thousands of NC license plates, including the one on the NC DMV website sample plate. So now the text...

So, we all know that gas prices are hurting most Americans big time. From putting more than twice as much money on gas in you cars to paying more for food and other products at the store, the $4.00 average price or gas in the US is hurting both drivers and none drivers around the States. But have you ever considered how much this can also hurt children? According to a story on Foxnews, the high gas price pains most Americans are feeling are starting to affect our children as parents find them...

Oh Lord, there are times I think the terrorist are correct in wanting to destroy our way of life. Some people in this country don't value the freedom we are given, they abuse it. This is the price some have to pay for privacy and ignorance. This is just one great example of how people can get away with something as horrifying as child sexual abuse for so long. Sure, they eventually get caught, but not before the damage is already done. According to a Foxnews.com story, children as young as 5 ...

Well maybe not exactly drill them but more like drilling off shore for, you guessed it, oil. According to Foxnews.com, Bush will appeal to Congress today to lift the off shore moratorium's to allow for drilling off our coast. Something that should have been done a long time ago. The US is the only country to have these blocks on drilling off our own coast. But the idea of drilling off our coast does not stop there. Once an strong opposer of drilling in the Gulf of mexico, Florida Gov Charlie ...

So the big issue on everyone’s mind is gas prices. Like the odometer in a car, gas prices go up and up and up as if it were made of helium and don’t seem to be coming down any time soon. Because of this, as many on this site have blogged about on many great articles, people find themselves mostly cutting back on any kind of unnecessary travel time. Anything from public transportation to bike riding to carpooling is becoming popular and more common. Sales of gas economical cars are ri...

Here's a story for those of you who don't believe it's possible to improve your lifestyle by simply trying. For those of you who continue to make excuses about how poor people just can't make things better for themselves for "whatever" reasons. This story is true since I have been witnessing it since day 1 close to a year ago.   Nearly a year ago I found out that my mother-in-law's stepson (her husbands son, just in case) had won the Cuban lottery that allows a Cuban to get a passpo...

Just look at the congressional report released Tuesday showing how Gov't intervention helped the housing crisis become a reality. I'm sure the Obama Administration's control over the banks, car companies and soon the Heathcare system will only make things better. I mean, just look at Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare and hell, even FEMA. I'm sure the Gov't came make the private sector better as well. /sarcasm off. Link
