It's 2015 and Cuban Art is Booming!
Back in March, shared a cherished personal memory at this site and titled it My Introduction to Cuban Art. It was humorous but this post is serious. Almost every evening, our #PBS station (Public Broadcasting Service) airs the news hou

Discussing Politics Seems To Bring Out The Worst In People
I have discovered one truth when it comes to discussing politics, it tends to bring out the worst in people. I will admit that I can be fairly closed minded at times when it comes to posting articles and discussing politics. I am both socially and fiscally
Blogging About Controversial Topics - YAY or NAY?
Do you pick controversial topics to discuss via blog posts? I lean more toward non-controversy myself. You seldom see posts about #politics or #religion at my blogs unless it's #history. But there is certainly a value-add to mentioning a controversia
Don't Ignore Your Local Government
Few people I know think much about #politics at the local level. Many people vote blindly for judges, city counsel, county boards, and state house members, not even recognizing the names on the ballot or knowing anything at all about their agendas, beliefs
Did 9-11 End Conventional Aircraft Hijacking Forever
Prior to the terrible events of 9/11 2001, when suicide bomber terrorists used four hijacked commercial jet liners to attack the US, aircraft hijacking, or sky-jacking, was a very different beast. In the 1970’s it seemed that barely a month
An Open Letter To Political Fundraisers
Fundraisers, I’ve had it with your manipulation. Because I have occasionally given money to causes you also raise money for, you stuff my mailbox each day with paper, sometimes in duplicate or triplicate mailings. You don’t put your return addr

Fox News' Outnumbered is Their Answer to The Veiw, The Talk, The Chew, The Real.
I have no love for Fox News as they take native advertising and "journalism" to all new lows every day they are broadcasting. The default worldview on Fox News for decades has been: "Scare White People to Death By Any Means Necessary." Fox programming is a
Fair Pay or Fair Game?
A few months before Election Night 2014, I was listening to Senator Elizabeth Warren on Rachel Madddow's quaint little show. Senator Warren says equal pay for women must be a campaign issue in 2014 elections and going forward. Question. Was the Lilly Ledb

How to Walk a Precinct
I don't know how #elections work in the rest of the world, but in the United States people who strongly support candidates get involved in their campaigns. Those who can afford it donate to their candidate's campaign war chest to pay for TV, radio, and web
What Has Happened to America?

The Dreaded Political Season Has Started Again
When I was growing up, I don't remember my parents talking much about either #politics or religion. That was the norm back in the fifties. It kept families together. I knew which party my parents belonged to, what they thought of the other party's #candida
Dirty Politics and insult must stop
I am very sad right now and I know it is not good for me but I still had to anyway. I just finished my university assignments and went to my face book page only to see very disturbing edited pictures of the president of my country on the social media of th
