I haven’t written a diary in a while, so please bear with me.

Can someone please explain to me why billionaires – especially those venture capitalists – feel the need to stick their noses into areas that are not their ‘core competency’? The latest to do this is Tim Draper - founder of the global venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. He has a proposal that he is trying to get on the ballot in California to break it up into SIX individual states. His reasoning – because he wants his tax dollars spent closer to home and feels California is too big to govern as one state. He needs 807,615 signatures to get this on the ballot. He pretty much admitted on the CBS Morning Show that it was about taxes – always about taxes with this crowd.

I know nothing in this diary is new but I just need to get it off my chest. And want to point out a couple of things about Religious Freedom or Freedom from Religion that are my own personal view. Thanks for reading my rant.

This republican primary season has me questioning the America I grew up in vs the America that Newt and Mitt see.

why are they running ads in North Carolina to encourage voters to call Kay Hagen.

Ad starts with a nice looking doctor, Dr. Mark J. Cuffe, Board Certified Neurosurgeon saying the following:

Today in my email I got the latest from the NRSC. This one is absolutely Priceless!!! The first paragraph is a prime example of when the bully in the school yard gets a taste of his own medicine.. and doesn't like it and goes crying to the teacher.

"The attacks from certain members of the Democratic Party against Karl Rove this week have been an absolute disgrace. This is an attempt at personal destruction and political opportunism at its very worst-it is downright shameless."

Doesn't that make you laugh. Her full statement is not available on the GOPSenators.com website, unfortuately. Below is the entire content of the email. My favorite comment she made is that "the Democrats have taken reckless partisan attacks to a new level." Gee.. the old "takes one to know one" from 5th grade comes to mind. HA!! The level of their delusion is amazing. Comments????? Read More

If the nightmare happens.. Where do we all meet on Inauguration Day in Washington DC.. and protest by marching on the streets of the Captiol. just no eggs this time.. Be better if it were a controlled, orderly march. With big turnout.. and lots of signs.

In the meantime.. we can plan on the following.

Steps to Take Back our Country...

Step 1. Get goods on Chaney and Halliburton. This makes him resign.. ala Spiro Agnew Style.. He spends time in jail just like the Nixon Gang did in the 70's. And I am not older enough to remember all of that. But that might be a good place to start. I still say AG of NY would be the guy to start the investigation. Can't remember his name.. working on being up for almost 24 hours now.

Step 2. Be supportive of a moderate Republican.. say.. John McCain?? for New VP.. True not one of Bushies Favorites, and probably won't take to his style of "managment" but hey.. he won't be VP for long. Don't like all of his policies.. but he is a good peacemaker.. that way.. the next step will be easier. Read More
