Cheese and whine

I truly don't want this blog to be all complaints so I'll strive for a balance.

Today I'll just say that all my 4 grandchildren are so cool. Smart and adorable each and every one and it makes me so happy to be their grandma.

My first entry

I just felt like expressing my opinions so I started this blog. Some people get big bucks to say what they think - most of them cloak it as journalism. That's a problem - other people believe they know what they are talking about when it's just their opinions. arg That makes me nuts.

What the hell is up with everyone wanting reduced taxes? I just don't get it. I think we get a lot of services for the small amount of tax we pay. I figure I pay less than a nickel for each service the government provides. And, no, that is not a mathematical fact. I don't do those. It's a guess. I thought that taxes were our contribution as citizens to keep the country running. Quit pissin' and moanin' y'all.

I had dinner with my friend Amy tonight and we talked about how angry everyone in this country is. It shows. People write just VILE things about other people - under the cloak of anonimity of course. I particularly hate all the vitriol directed at our new President. Give him a chance. He started working before he was even getting paid for it. He can be villified if and when he can't effect some change. But jeez people, give him a break. Amy reminded me that I was not too nice about GW Bush. Right, and with good reason. I had 8 years to learn to despise him. I think he almost ruined our country with his damn wars and spending us into the abyss we are in now.

I have plenty more to say. Stay tuned.
