Once Bill Simmon said, on his local radio program, Poli-Sci-Fi Radio, that I was “spectacularly wrong.”  I loved that quote so much, it earned a place of honor at the top of my “What people are saying about She’s Right” section in the side bar.
What exactly was I spectacularly wrong about?  Well, probably all things [...]

Today, Dr. Donnica Moore was on The View and the topic was preventing bone loss in women.  One of the ladies asked her about the recommendation that women should get a bone scan at age 30 as a baseline, since bone loss can start that early.
She replied that she agrees with that recommendation, but with [...]

No, I did not watch the infomercial for Obama’s health care reform, but I have been wanting to say this.
According to President Obama,
“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, period.”
Last night, [...]

It seems like everyday I wake up in backward world.  Up is down.  Down is up.  People who pay their bills on time and spend within their means are the bad guys, and people who don’t are the victims.  And it’s the government’s job to rescue people from their own financial screw-ups.
First, we have the [...]

Sunday was “Debt Day,” the day the US government spent all its tax revenues.  For the rest of the fiscal year, all money spent by the government is borrowed money.
For perspective, last year, Debt Day fell on August 5.  It was September 9 the year before that.
The fiscal year ends September 30.
Imagine if you already [...]

I want to wrap up the Tea Party talk and, hopefully, address all of the issues that I left out of the last post and touch on the ones that were raised in the comments there.
I found out this morning that Bill Simmon and Steve Benen talked about my tea party post on their Poli-Sci-Fi [...]

There is a lot of anger and hatred around the internet about the Tax Day Tea Parties.  There is also a lot of misinformation.  Most of it started as a deliberate mis-information campaign to discredit the movement, but it has taken on a life of its own, being repeated as fact by people who really [...]

I was in Montpelier today for one of two tea parties in Vermont.  The crowd was a little bigger than the “23 confused looking folks” predicted by VDB.
Here’s a look at the crowd, via video.  I have to warn you, it is a little shaky.  I was trying to navigate my way through the crowd, [...]

It’s a strange day when Ace of Spades HQ and Vermont Daily Briefing both have posts expressing the same opinion on an issue.  But then, it’s a strange day when Congress is trying to give the president power over the internet.
Politics makes strange bedfellows, indeed.
There is one notable difference between the two blogs, though.  VDB [...]
