From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek – Lake Barkley — I always dread this day even with Valium to take the edge off of things. However, I am now understanding and empathetic for what women undergo when they visit their OBGYN. Much like “Peter” on Family Guy I feel “violated” by my […]

I totally concur Ronnie, I totally concur!!! AIG……why not do it this way????? Hi Folks,I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

In contemplating what the future of this once great country of ours is, it came to me this morning we are headed back to the days of Jimmy Carter, with sweaters, unemployment, inflation and stupidity!
