He went to Washington DC to try to tell members of Congress that those “dirty jobs” like those in manufacturing and farming and plumbing and electrical work should get more respect.  And he, IMO, is speaking truth although it’s going to fall on the deaf and over-educated Ivy League ears of those in Congress.  With… Continue reading

The Quote of the Day goes to Bookworm over at Bookworm Room.  She writes in her blogpost about “Trusting Our Sources”, the following: “Taking tainted information from trusted sources is also nothing new.  It’s a convenient short hand.  The more you trust the source, the less burden there is on you to investigate the facts… Continue reading

Happy Birthday to the man who raised me, who taught me right from wrong, who taught me patience (still working on that one), who taught me the PROPER way to wash and dry a car (and to always wear my seatbelt), and who taught me loyalty and honor.
