Temperatures continued to rise on Tuesday July 21, 2009 to a sweltering 66 degrees Fahrenheit.  There appears to be no end in site as the mercury climbs higher and higher during these hot summer months.  Once again, air conditioners were left sitting idle while windows were thrown open for fresh air to penetrate and fill homes.  The nights bring even more pain and suffering as temps dipped to a chilly 58 degrees on Saturday night.  Residents of the northeast such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia have been especially hard hit.  Tempers are flaring and there seems to be unrest on the streets and in homes.  We asked local residents of Downingtown PA how they were coping with the severity of global warming in their community. “If my husband drags out...

BO promised to transform America’s image in the world.  Well he certainly is.  Even the sissy French government has spoken out with more disdain condemning the attack on human rights in Iran than the “leader of the free world.”  America has always stood with those for freedom and liberty.  I’m not suggesting we start bombing Iran but I believe BO is blowing a great opportunity to use his influence to reorder the middle east.  Why not start with calling for a special summit of middle east leaders to jointly condemn the phony elections and honor the people’s choice?  This is a clear example of why a theocracy in the seat of government does not work.  Remaining silent is not demonstrating neutrality; it is casting a vote for the...

I’m not sure which point to make on this one since it seems to have endless possibilities for critique and analysis.  I guess I’ll start with my first impression when I heard the “news,”  BO has swatted and killed a fly.  “Got the sucker” he gleefully brags.  This was the leading news for several web sites and even made it on the state run NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.  Who else but the government run news sites would report such a meaningless event and actually call it news?  After all, the MSM (for first timers this is main stream media), nightly news shows have only about 18 minutes (30 if you count the shamless  capitalist commercials) to promote their ideas and call it news.  You’d think they would...

Do municipal workers and road engineers ever actually travel the same roads I do? How could they?  One of the most annoying irritants on my daily travel to and from work is going through areas with a series of several traffic lights.  The lights are never programmed to allow traffic to flow freely through.   You know what I mean. You stop at a red light to allow 2 cars to go through, wait for another 2 minutes, the light turns green and you go another 100 yards to find that the traffic light has just turned red which means another time consuming stop. The cycle repeats for the next 5 miles.    This is annoying for several  reasons. It causes delays, congestion, and ties up traffic. What are the city planners thinking about?  Not the...

Ok,  I held off as long as I could before I joined in the fray about BO’s nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States.  The media is orgasmic (as usual) about her humble beginnings as a Puerto Rican immigrant growing up in Brooklyn NY. How sweet.  And don’t forget she has diabetes and will show empathy.  A woman of “color” has finally been nominated which just makes me want to weep with joy.  Never mind that the media virtually ignores her judicial qualifications (or lack thereof).  The NY Times endorsement never once mentioned a specific ruling she was involved in but referred to her humble beginnings and ability to show empathy all throughout the article. She should be disqualified to sit on the highest court in the...
