Magic Beyond Words Shows the Reality of Living on Public Assistance

I just finished watching the film Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story.  I admit it…I’m a Potter fan.  I have always wondered about the process that Rowling went through while writing the books.  I watched the film with the understanding that it was a Lifetime dramatization of her life.  I’m sure it was based … Continue reading

When Policies Fail…Blame the Media!

There are plenty of problems that can be traced back to the media (or social media).  I’ve personally been critical of how media has affected politics (I’m not blind to the fact that this includes bloggers such as myself).  However, there is a trend that I’ve noticed among conservatives.  When their stupidity is questioned…they blame … Continue reading

On more than one recent occasion I have found myself questioning a conservative on why they are posting comments that are patently un-American.  For example, a conservative I know posted a meme about illegal immigrants.  She commented that they “don’t have rights.”  We then argued over the 14th Amendment. In another instance.  A conservative I … Continue reading
