O’Reilly asked the kind ladies of ACORN if his people could see the books of the private corporation that all ACORN + 200 other lefty orgs send their money to. They said he couldn’t. The corporation that runs out of New Orleans receives millions of taxpayer dollars that are probably laundered and go into some union leaders or civil rights leaders pockets. It is a shell game. The IRS and the Justice Dept. should check into it, but they won’t. Stay on it Beck and O’Reilly. This stuff needs to be uncovered. If it was OK to send buses to the AIG execs houses, should we charter a bus to see how the leaders of these so-called community service groups live? Take a few pitchforks. The umbrella corporation that is receiving the money was started by the same guy that started the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and we all know that union leaders are never corrupt. SEIU is knee deep in Obamaland and Chicago politics.

Book Club Getaway
Posted by madjillmom on May 28, 2009
I am going away with some of the ladies in my book club. We don’t have a book to talk about, but we will have wine, food, a river to float, a shop or two to see, and some time to relax. There are nine of us going. We will be the pack of wild women with the cellulite. Stay back, it could be catching.

Laptop Arrives
Posted by madjillmom on May 27, 2009
I have been waiting a long time to get a laptop. Today, my laptop arrived. This is my first post on it. I am in my bed, watching Glenn Beck instead of 12 feet away, tethered to the small confines of a built-in not meant for a computer, housing the oldest computer in the house, in front of our closet door. Yahoo! One of the dogs is sleeping beside me, having a dream. Gosh, I hope this works for me. I may never get out of bed.
I really got the urge for a laptop after driving from Texas to West Point to deliver one of our cars to our oldest son. My sister, Kay, and I stayed in hotels along the way and it was hard to not have real access to the net and the info that is so helpful when you travel. When we arrived in Newburgh, we had to go to the local library, get a temporary card, wait an hour, then go to hotels.com to get a decent rate on a room. I vowed to never do that again. So now, I won’t. Plus there is no way to be a “real blogger” if you can’t be portable.

Benefits of Marriage
Posted by madjillmom on May 26, 2009
The CA Supreme Court upheld Prop. 8 but let gay marriages made during the time stay valid. In an interview on Fox, a gay guy said something along the lines of there being 1000 benefits to marriage over civil unions. I sure would like to see that list. While I do believe in marriage between 1 man and 1 woman, I don’t know how you get to an enumerated 1000 benefits. I don’t have the list. I could use that list on some days. It would make it easier. Perhaps there are discounts at Denny’s that I haven’t known to ask for.

Salt Rising Bread
Posted by madjillmom on May 26, 2009
When I was young, we used to buy salt rising bread. I think it was only made on certain days and that it may have come from the Piggly Wiggly. My sister, Kay, who remembers everything could tell me where we got it. I do not think it was from a bakery. Wherever it came from, it was wonderful. I crave it at least once a month and I haven’t had any in at least 35 years. I checked the web and got a few recipes. Evidently, others feel a strong love of salt rising bread. It is the best toast of my life.
I used to make sourdough bread and regular bread. I need to try to make some salt rising bread though it is a notoriously hard to do. It may have some German roots. It may be the only way I ever get to eat it again.

Obama Wags Finger at North Korea
Posted by madjillmom on May 25, 2009
Pres. Obama is once again relying on the UN to handle this situation. He just doesn’t get it. His people didn’t even see it coming. If this isn’t weakness, I do not know what is.
