Because I Can…
What’s the point of having a blog if you can’t take personal advantage…

Let It Snow!
Just the possibility of snow brings out the kid in me. And while I know this isn’t the most convenient time for a major snowstorm – and I still have a gazillion things to do – I’m secretly thrilled. So in the spirit of you can’t control the weather here’s Lena Horne performing my favorite [...]

Happy Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a holiday that many people don’t know about. From Wikipedia:
Though the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued on September 22, 1862, with an effective date of January 1, 1863, it had minimal immediate effect on most slaves’ day-to-day lives, particularly in Texas, which was almost entirely under Confederate control. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, [...]
No One As Irish As Barack Obama
I guess today is the day that St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and parades are starting. Here is something to get you in the mood:
How cool is it to have a President everyone is proud of?
So what’s your St. Patrick’s Day plan?
Happy Chanukah from Delaware Liberal
Have a happy Chanukah, one and all! During Chanukah, we remember how the Jews (led by the Maccabees) won their independence from King Antiochus IV of the Selucid Empire (a Hellenistic successor to Alexander the Great’s empire, stretching from Turkey to Pakistan), who outlawed their religious practices, sacked Jerusalem, and defiled their temple. Before the [...]

Deep (or not so deep) Thought on the Economy
It seems that things I need, like food, water, electricity, oil, and healthcare, are costing a lot more than things I want, like cashmere, televisions, computers, and shoes. Talk about a financial slippery slope! You’ll be happy to know I’ve shown remarkable restraint… well, except for those fabulous Steve Madden black pumps for 70% off.

Making a list, and checking it twice
When it comes to making lists, Santa has nothing on me. I am the consummate list maker: grocery lists, menu lists, invitation lists, to do lists. I even make lists for members of my family, which aren’t always appreciated. But the biggest list I make every year is my Christmas list.
Now my Christmas [...]

Consumer Panic/Insanity
And we were worried about a run on the banks.
A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island store Friday morning, police and witnesses said.
The 34-year-old worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.
Witnesses said [...]
Thanksgiving Challenge
OK, I know that we all know George W Bush to be the worst President in history. However, one of my favorite sayings is “Even a blind chicken finds corn sometimes.” What, about George Bush, are you thankful for this year?
Personally, I am thankful that he got the Do Not Call list going. Now that [...]
Question
How much money did you spend on Halloween candy?
Merry Christmas
Yes, this is a political blog that specializes in liberal politics. Yes, many of our readers view Christmas in a more secular way than perhaps at FSP.
Spend time with your family. Call a friend that you haven’t spoken to in years. Do something selfless. Whatever you do, remember that it really [...]
Training for the War on Christmas
I have been training with my fellow warriors for the past few weeks, crawling under garland barriers, avoiding mistletoe, and lots of reindeer games. I think we are just about ready for our first incursion on Christmas, building up to our assault on SHQ (Santa’s Headquarters) on the 23rd. My only fear is [...]

The War on Christmas: What’s in a Name?
It’s beginning to look a lot like “War on Christmas” time. I have come to the conclusion that we can’t properly execute this war unless we have a name that sounds good on CNN. Who can forget Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, or The War on Terror? I’m looking for a great name that we [...]
