• Travel Tales Part 2

  Number of comments: 3
  Thank goodness for hotels which have fitness centers. When you are on vacation it is so difficult to order lean meals. If you are like me at all, when you travel to new locations, you just have to sample some of the local cuisine (or just indulge). So thanks to [...]

• Polarizing Prose from Fearful Phonies

  Number of comments: 1
  I always enjoy it when a columnist can summarize my thoughts and/or feelings on a subject. For many years, Peggy Noonan was able to articulate my thoughts in such a lovely prose - up until the conclusion of the GOP primaries. Then something changed. She started handing out advice to [...]

  Number of comments: 1
  My blogging friend, Jo from Jo's Cafe posted a link via Twitter this morning of a post from another favorite site, Flopping Aces. They think Chris Matthews will be tearful and crying on election night. If McCain wins, I think I will find a YouTube video of B.B. [...]

  I hope y'all had a fun time chatting last night. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), I missed the campaign infomercial completely. And I guess you noticed I wasn't here participating (or maybe you didn't notice at all - ha ha!). I'm sure DPUD took good [...]

  Number of comments: 1
  Former Mississippi governor, Ronnie Musgrove was a busy guy when he was in office. In addition to converting a $230 million surplus to a $700 million deficit and declaring a day in honor of himself, Musgrove proclaimed a lot of other special days. Just one small catch, though. [...]

  I have to say that I saw this coming. First it was the airline industry following September 11, then it was the failing banks and unrealistic mortgage lenders. Now the depressed auto industry in the U.S. is asking for a handout from the federal government. Reuters reports: [emphasis mine]

  So A.I.G. has already used $61 billion of the Fed loan they were given two weeks ago. This was done by October 3rd. And apparently they have exhausted the rest of the $85 billion they were promised. Because today the Fed is giving them another $37.8 billion.
