“The things she has said over the years, not just about John but about other candidates, […]

Vice President Dick Cheney may very well be about to see the money tree he’s been shaking stripped down to the bare minimum. In what may very well be the epitome of hubris, Cheney continues to sway back and forth from claiming he’s part of the Executive branch to actually being part of the […]

Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. I appreciate hearing from you.
Each year, thousands of Americans are attacked based solely on their race, religion, […]

I’ve come to the realization that I’m either the bravest person alive…or I’m going to die horribly while sitting at my computer…with my finger fused to the “DELETE” button.
Like everyone else on the planet, I have someone in my life who insists on sending me a gazillion emails per month of the “forwarded” variety. […]

So, here's where I'm supposed to tell you something about me. Fine. I'm just a recent transplanted "MO" here in Fresno, CA. After 32 years living in the Midwest, I decided to haul my pale ass to where I could tan and be seen GETTING tan. I'm Italian, so I spend my days fighting off the adoring men and raging against all in life that seems stupid to me. So I blog about a LOT of stuff.
My current blog is The Tempest Online. Please feel free to peruse around, leave comments and, hey, buy a t-shirt while you're at it. I have one and you should, too.
If you want to see more of what's in my head, visit My MySpace Page.
