mehale You are so right, and yet like fools we keep electing them back into office hoping this time it will be different or better somehow. We need to kick them all out and start over.

mehale Well said. Both parties are at fault. They worry more about making congress a lifetime career than they do fixing what is wrong and doing what is right for our country. Sad but true. On the other hand, we re-elected most of them, so I guess part of the blame...

I am enjoying my Nook. I have always enjoyed reading, but now with arthritis in my hands and wrists, it is sometimes painful to hold a hardback book and even a paperback. Add to that the collection of books piling up in my back...

mehale We use computers regularly around here. I read most of my news on either my laptop or nook, and read plenty of books etc on it as well. But then I homeschool my kids online and don't have easy access to a good book store or library close to where we live. I do...

With technology always making it easier to do anything from the comfort of your home, it was no surprise that books could be a click away. No longer books or novels on your computer screens they are ebooks, ready to be uploaded...

mehale I still read paper books, but mostly now I read on my nook. This has a lot to do with what is available where we live. We are about 30 miles from the nearest book store and our local library is very small with an even smaller selection. Not to mention we have...

I find it not only ironic but totally appalling that our administration deems it necessary to send American troops along with Patriot missiles to the Turkey/Syria border but wouldn't send even a squad to defend American soil in...

mehale I agree with you. While I understand that chemical weapons are a serious threat....if they are actually used, why then could we not also send troops into Libya to protect Americans and our interest there. How can they justify playing politics with peoples...

As if there were not already enough problems facing our fragile economy, with the fiscal cliff fast approaching, now the GOP is vowing a heck of a fight over increasing the debt ceiling next year. According to a CNN article (see...

mehale True. And it would seem that our elected officials are perfectly content to continue fighting among themselves and forget that we hired them to do a job. I find it harder every day to see how things are ever going to get any better.

mehale True. Unless they get serious about cutting spending things will get worse but I doubt they will. With Obama's re-election they see it as free reign to do whatever they want no matter the cost.

mehale I agree with you and also think they want to put this squarely on the GOP. But republicans are not completely without blame. What really bothers me though is the fact that what little negotiations and talks there are keep being held in secret with only Obama...

mehale Debra, thank you as well...these are articles and information I had not seen and am glad to now have. By the way I am not an Obama supporter...I was just confused on the facts. Now I understand why the GOP was so against her and why she bowed out of the...

mehale Thank you for the link! I had not seen this before and therefore had some rather obvious ( at least now ) misconceptions about it. This definitely puts a new light on the subject and makes me understand why the GOP were so against Rice. Hopefully this will...
