Midwest Chick's Place

So, is there any reason why the MSM doesn’t mention EVER that Fred Phelps (Westboro Baptist Church) is a life-long Democrat??  I’m sure a lot of folks think otherwise……. Continue reading

I got into a discussion on Facebook with a liberal friend of mine regarding high speed rail.  He had posted a link to an article wherein it was stated that the tea partier folks were patsies and puppets of the oil industry and the Koch brothers because of some tenuous link between a group to… Continue reading

Sometimes Himself really spoils me.  Usually Tuesday night at our place is pizza.  But last night, as we were discussing dinner and the fact that the one place that delivers just isn’t up to standards anymore, he states that we had some hamburger in the fridge and decides out of the blue to make homemade… Continue reading

Elizabeth Taylor, the epitome of all that was right and wrong and glamorous in Hollywood, died today at age 79. Edited: Deleted second clip and put in a link to the ending of The Taming of the Shrew: Continue reading
