…to be politicians.
While checking out the new Salvation Army Store in Gilroy (one of the few ways to avoid sales tax) last weekend I came across a mint condition copy of Dr. Fred Schwarz’ You Can Trust the Communists (to be Communists, originally published in 1960). The paperback copy I picked up was printed in 1972, but looks like it just came off the press this morning. But,…

Yeah, you read that right. 
Today is the seventh anniversary of the day that 300 Million Americans were responsible for the deaths of 3,000 Americans. At this point you’re either right there with me or are assuming that I’m insane. Either way, I hope you’ll stick around a little longer to see what I have to say.

Okay, Nightmare is too strong a word for it, but it makes for a much stronger title than “My Personal TSA Bad Experience” 
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here before, but Z collects snowglobes from the places that she’s visited. Thus far she has somewhere in the neighborhood of 40. Not too bad for a 12 year old, in my opinion. While in Myrtle Beach she picked up another half dozen or so at the various spots we…

Bar and restaurant hours during the Republican National Convention might be able to stretch into the wee hours of the morning after all, with new legislation that some prior naysayers are tentatively embracing.A proposal for…

This despite hundreds of state and federal laws against identity theft, a Presidential Task Force on Identity Theft, and millions of dollars in stolen tax money being given away by the Department of Justice in the form of grants to combat this scourge on American’s privacy, pocketbooks, and peace of mind.
