This is NOT your grandmother's blog

At one time I had a newspaper column. It wasn't big, it wasn't syndicated, but once in awhile I did get "hate mail" -- which means that at least someone was reading it. When the holding company syndicate wanted to make what was "mine" into "theirs," we parted company. The editor was sorry to see me go, but he knew where I was coming from.

Now there are times I want to scream from the rooftops, and times that I truly hope The Patriot Act (oxymoronic) doesn't pop up and bite me in the behind for saying what I believe to be true. My "at home" life includes paying attention to the news program -- DWTV and BBC included, so I can have a chance at only a semi-biased reportage.

There is no guarantee just which irking or frustrating thing will show up here. The only thing I can promise is that I hope it won't be boring.
