On the day that 7 Marines are killed in an accident during training, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, goes to the floor of the Senate and implies that this is the result of sequestration. People are grieving, families have just been notified. A shell exploded. This has nothing to do with sequestration, but dingy Harry couldn’t let an opportunity pass to make the death of seven Marines political. How disgraceful.

Rural Mail Delivery
Posted by madjillmom on March 20, 2013
There are some commercials brought to us by the Letter Carrier Assn. The commercial tells us that rural areas need their 6 days a week delivery of mail. The commercial tells us that we should say goodbye to our mailman. I have lived in a rural area for 13 years. A mailman has never delivered to my mailbox. The postal service has had contract carriers out here for all this time. No nifty uniforms and mail trucks. One of our “carriers” was a hard ridden woman with dirty t-shirts with the arms cut off driving an old dirty bronco.
Losing Saturday delivery is a minimal thing. In fact, I believe that we could easily receive mail only three days a week, M-W-F, with only a minimal impact. I do not need to receive junk mail daily to be happy. If someone needs greater service, let them rent a PO box in town for greater service.
Stop pulling on the heartstrings with pictures of handsome, young mailmen. They are not the reality, they are a myth in rural America. Adapt or perish.
Quit whining and starve the BEAST!!!

Obama, Global Warming, and the National Debt
Posted by madjillmom on March 16, 2013
Strange. Pres. Obama sees and feels great urgency about the threat of global warming or climate change. He does not see or feel any great urgency to do anything about the national debt, growing as we speak to 17 trillion. He is even cool with it growing a whole lot more.
