Double standards in just about every sector of our life.  Here’s parts of a letter to the editor, with a bit of editing, from a guy in Tawas City, wherever that is. “If we lie to Congress, it’s a felony, and if Congress lies to us, it’s just politics. If we dislike blacks, we’re […]

  When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, they eventually made contact with the Indians, and further on, began to trade with them.  The Indians loved the white man’s guns, clothes, and other then civilized things the Indians had never thought of, but to which took an immediate liking.  The Pilgrims had brought with […]

  (We got back late last night, so this will have to do till I get myself together.  Yes, the MS Amsterdam is a fine ship.  We cruised over 4,000 miles, and visited ten ports in Alaska, from Ketchikan to Kodiak.  Gained the usual five pounds.) Those infernal suicide bombers will not stop, and they […]

  The beauty of books and radio, is that they stimulate the mind.  I remember radio, and loved it.  My Atwater Kent sat beside my bed, and I listened to drama, comedy, and history, with my mind picturing it all.  Television is mind numbing, and leaves nothing to the imagination.  It is mind crippling.  I […]

  We are all required to live within our means, or get into serious trouble.  We cannot earn $30,000 a year, and spend $35,000, or at least we shouldn’t.  Millions do it, and make up the difference with credit card advances, home mortgage increases, or loans.  These people eventually get into trouble.  Businesses have the […]

  We are all familiar with change. (Obama’s promised and actual ’changes’ are disgusting). Just think of the changes we have made.  We went from stick to non-stick pots and pans in the kitchen.  We went from heating an oven to placing something in the micro-wave and pushing a couple of buttons.  From a dish pan […]

  If anyone attempts to, or enters my property or house, they will die.  If anyone tries to rob a bank, they will die if the guards are alert. The presence of armed guards, cameras, and other bric-a-brac in a bank, WARNS potential robbers what may happen if the try to commit the crime. In […]

  Five hundred yards from ’Ground Zero,’ where the World Trade Centers used to be, the Muslims want to build a big building.  Jews are outraged, as are many others, because of its closeness to where the World Trade Centers used to be, but aren’t.  Their reasoning, is that since Muslims took down the Trade […]

  Think about an out of control 18 wheeler which has lost its brakes on a steep hill.  It’s literally out of control, and those in its path had better get out of the way, because the ultimate end of this situation is a huge crash, fireball, driver and probably a lot of innocents dead, […]

  You all remember him, don’t you?  He robbed his ’investors’ of some $50 million.  Word got out that he was giving a 12% return every year for funds left with him to invest.  Thousands flocked to his door, and Madoff became a celebrity.  He and his wife and sons lived the lavish life style, […]
