My Bio
I am chasing the dream of being a full-time writer living in the mountains of New Hampshire. Before that I spent 18 years in the consumer electronics industry, most of it in New Product Development. I spent some time as an amateur kick-boxer, "retiring" with a winning record of 2-1. I am an avid gardener who tries to grow as much of my own vegetables as possible in small raised bed plots.
In the height of winter, Russia has ceased all gas shipments to Europe through the Ukrainian pipelines. Some countries have been forced to close schools and factories to try to preserve enough gas to heat homes and keep people from freezing to death.
Babies have died in China from the same chemical that was found to be killing cats and dogs in the US, now there's admission that this same poison, melamine, has been routinely sold as "protein powder" and introduced into many different human foods.
It looks like the wheels are flying off the Straight Talk Express as McCain calls his staffers "Incontinent" for excessive leaking and McCain aides call Sarah Palin a slow learning, rogue, diva who cares only about herself.
Mounting job cuts are increasing voter displeasure with the current administration. Does this mean a super majority for Congressional Democrats? If so we may see sweeping reforms enacted with the Republican minority powerless to intervene.
John McCain has been very clear about Barack Obama's unAmerican plan to let the average American have tax breaks instead of concentrating the wealth in the pockets of the Wall Street insiders, but are you listening?
John McCain and his crew have vilified Barack Obama, saying that he "pals around with domestic terrorists" and using his foreign sounding middle name as an epithet. Now he takes umbrage as his believing supporters repeat some of that garbage back.
What to expect from tonight's presidential debate as McCain's campaign switches into attack mode in the face of falling poll numbers and Obama seeks to continue his momentum on economic and health care issues.
Did pirates uncover illicit nuclear material being shipped by Iran to Islamic Extremists in Africa? Fox News is reporting the story, but the evidence appears shaky.
Modern pirates roam the coast of Somalia capturing ships for ransom, but one recent group caught a prize much bigger and more deadly, from a number of perspectives, than they imagined. Facing US and Russian warships, they have vowed to fight to the death.
When the environment's equilibrium is broken things spiral out of control and deterioration feeds upon itself. It won’t be 2100 before people start to die because of global warming; in fact, it's already started.
Mimi Ausland, 12, had an idea to help feed abandoned dogs and cats in the shelters around her home. She put her idea to work and has been able to donate more than 49 million pieces of free kibble to local shelter through her website freekibble.com.
John McCain's call for a suspension of the presidential campaign while he focuses on the economy shows he is either incompetent or is using the financial crisis as a cheap political ploy. Based on the recent tenor of his campaign, I vote for the latter.
Conservative pundit George Will, in his column in the Washington Post on Tuesday, called McCain impulsive and hot-tempered. Will accused him of acting shallowly and suggested this sort of behavior is typical of what we would see from a McCain White House.
