Navigating life as a pilot's wife and misadventurous mom.
Tweet Talk about progressive. Douglas County, Colorado may soon be among the very few school districts in the United States allowing parents a choice in where their tax dollars are spent on their children’s education. The program is called the “Pilot Choice Scholarship Program” and was passed this March. The Douglas County Education Board [...]
Tweet Yesterday, I heard a talk radio show host say that now that President Obama has finally produced his long-form birth certificate, Jerry Seinfeld has been vindicated for refusing to appear at a September 13th fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event is being put on by the Eric Trump Foundation. Eric is [...]
Tweet It was a little less than a year ago when in defense of Congress passing the unpopular and unconstitutional Healthcare Reform Act (HCR), I heard many people sluff it off with “what does the Constitution matter anyway?” It was enough to set my keyboard on fire. The damage can be read here. It is [...]
Tweet Your vote matters. With the all important mid-term elections only a week away, and the balance of power in the legislative branch of government at stake (currently controlled by Democrats), here are some startling statistics to keep in mind when you go to the polls. The Gross National Debt: The estimated population of the [...]
Tweet With Christine O’Donell’s big win over Republican establishment candidate, Mike Castle, in Delaware, the number of strong, conservative women taking the Republican party by the horns is hard to miss. O’Donnell, a relative unknown and the rest of the women listed below are an inspiration because they are breaking the mold of the stereo-typical [...]
Tweet Last year I wrote two posts about President Obama’s Back-to-School speech. It was quite the hot topic. This year, there hasn’t been a peep about today’s 2nd annual Back-to-School speech to be broadcast live on the White House website and via CNN as announced on WhiteHouse.gov. After all the hullabaloo surrounding the content of [...]
Tweet The anger between those who bought the campaign push that health care reform must happen NOW, at any cost, and those who preferred a more measured approach to make sure that change is effective, affordable and not over-reaching, has been building for the better part of a year. That anger was finally unleashed last [...]
Tweet As much as I’d like to talk about Jon Gosselin’s appearance on ABC News Primetime: Family Secrets last night, I’m withholding that commentary to discuss what an even more important Dad had to say yesterday. *Gasp!* More significant than what the most villainous soon-to-be-ex-husband in reality TV decided to get off his chest in [...]
Tweet While I may not have a dog in this fight (my toddler is in “pre-preschool”), after reading all the hullabaloo, I can’t help but have an opinion. Not on whether the President should or should not speak to school children in the classroom about education, but about why people should find it so surprising [...]
