Scary

Check this one out...
What is the possibility of the Republicans winning, yet again?

Vote fraud?

Want my opinion on this sort of thing?

As we sit back and allow ourselves to be lulled and anesthetized by engineered "reality" on television, convince ourselves that we are "informed" by mass media, watch in fascination the pointless lives of "celebrities," and congratulate ourselves for being "eco-conscious," those that are supposed to be our leaders are stealing this country, dismantling remaining bastions of freedom, abolishing the cherished liberties that generations have lived and died to protect.

Where is the discourse? Where is the outrage? Who will stand for individual responsibility, freedom, justice, when those that would speak have been muzzled? Who will protect our final right of appeal? A judicial branch that has been rubber-stamped? A legislative branch consisting almost entirely of professional politicians? An executive branch firmly in the pocket of mega-corporations and moneyed interests?A federal bureaucracy so deep and complex that it's edicts, rulings and regulations are well-nigh incomprehensible?

We need protection from those who supposedly are protecting us.

We need to think.

We need to speak.

We need to open our eyes and look at what has happened, and is continuing to happen, to our country.

We must do this before the men in black suits show up on our doorsteps and we will no longer have the opportunity to speak.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
