    I Honestly Just Don't Care Anymore

    I think I've pretty much given up on people... I've come to the realization that I'm just not a good person to talk to. Part of me just doesn't care too much anymore and part of me just wants to end it. I didn't even think I'd be back here after all this time, but at this point in my life, I...

    Sen. (R-ME) Olympia Snowe will not seek re-election

    Maine GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe won't seek re-election Uh. oh. Reading the comments, I'm finding it sad that so many are shaming Snowe for her service. So this is what moderates, and moderate conservatives can look forward to down the road... and I have a sneaking feeling moderate liberals...

    American Fear

    Interesting thought... I noticed that Gingrich has been talking about how the American people are frightened of the Obama administration (well, whether or not its justified is not the issue here), but here's my question. We talk about Obama's ideology as being the foreshadowing to his office...

    Are you really scared of living past 2013?

    You know, I keep thinking with what I see these days, way too many of us politically inclined folk seem to be too scared to live past the Mayan calendar, not so much because it's the end of the world, but because people are scared to know what happens after the election. Are you really that...
