I am cheap.  Have I ever mentioned that?  I am the coupon queen.  I never buy anything without looking for the better deal first.  When I decide to make a purchase, even small ones, I scour the internet looking for the absolute cheapest price I can find.  I usually am very generous in sharing the […]

Kentucky is in the middle of a governor’s race.  The incumbent, Republican Ernie Fletcher, is in the fight of his life.  Why?  Because two years ago, caught in a hiring scandal that shocked few and suprised no one, he pardoned everyone to cover his tracks.  Its all been downhill since then.

Several of you have asked about my thoughts on the crackpot from the mideast speaking at the UN.  Here’s why I haven’t blogged about it yet–I refuse to increase his fame or his stature by talking about him.  The crackpot’s gotten enough attention already.  Oh, and I call him a crackpot, instead of a nutjob, because […]
