irisheyes I could not agree with you more. I've lived long enough to have survived (and some times even prospered) under presidents that I did not vote into office. I just resent people attempting to sway the vote by predicting an apolcalyse if their guy is not elected....

irisheyes If we lived in the same state, our votes would have cancelled out but I'm not yet certain which of us will be boo-hooing tomorrow. Still, I too will be glad to get back to normal. The thing is that I believe we will get back to normal whoever is elected. I do...

I predict that the democrats will take an early lead in the election, but the republicans will catch up after they get home from work.

irisheyes It's hard to believe that there are people still touting "Trickle Down" economics after what we saw in 2008. The only things that ever tricled down in the Reagan years were minimum wage service jobs with no benefits that took away every middle class dream of...

This morning (Fri 13th no Less) my orange cat Tiggy died. About a year and a half ago I lost the cat that is in my avatar (Humphrey) and I was devastated. He'd been my favorite pet and constant companion for 12 years and was...

irisheyes You know I never used to understand the thing that many people had for ornage cats. I just did not realize how special they were until Tiggy came along. I'm sorry you lost your Scamp. It's harder somehow when yhou are not expecting it.

irisheyes We all know that if Lincoln were alive today, he'd be a Democrat. The South turned Republican when the Dems took a Civil Rights stand that would have made Abe proud.

Bill Maher has given Obama's campaign over a million dollars. He may JUST be an entertainer, but he has become political by the amount he's donated to the reelection campaign. This is Sarah Palin's contention. She pointed out,...

irisheyes I repeat "Why should the president of the United States of America" apologize for something that Bill Maher said??? I read now that Newt Gingrich is asking the President to apologize for something that robert De Niro said. Why? Should DeNiro aldo apologize for...

President Obama has been highlighting the lack of fairness in tax policy, and is now backing it up with proof. According to the Tax Policy Center, 4,000 American households that make over $1 MILLION last year didn't pay a dime in...

irisheyes Peavey, if they stopped giving big business tax credits for outsourced jobs and only gave them for jobs in the USA, many of those things would not come from China.

The Wall Street Protests have entered their eleventh day. I have just read that protesters have closed down the Brooklyn Bridge. I just heard on the news that about 4,000 protesters are now living in a mini community in and around...

irisheyes I think that they want big business and wall street to stop bleeding us dry and getting away with it. The movement seems to have gained a bit of momentum in the last few days. Possibly it was fired by Bank of America's plan to charge us for debit card usage....

irisheyes I agree with both of you. Interestingly, Barry Sheck from the Innocence Project has stated that 75% of the convictions overturned by new DNA evidence were based on eyewitness testimony. Eyewitness testimoney has always been the most unreliable of court room...

irisheyes Fema was formed in the late 1970's at the request of the Natinal Governor's association. There were too many agencies involved in disaster relief and the governors needed a more streamlined way to handle disaster relief. Until 2003 FEMA worked very well and...

irisheyes Oksy, I'm a little late on this. Sorry, I can only get here occassionally. No matter what was perhaps a little too strong. Were Obama to suddenly take a stand against say Ireland, I probaly would think twice. Also, I totally admit that the D as in...
