The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles, California also claimed damages against the French film company for failing to follow industry standard and provide David Carradine with sufficient assistant [...]
President-Elect Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech
This amazing, inspiring speech by the the 44th President of the United States of America, moved many people at home and abroad. It is an astounding moment in U.S. history to election a president that has such a diverse background. I truly believe that change is coming to America. Remarks of President-Elect Barack Obama Election [...]
Sarah Palin: An Unqualified VP Candidate
Sarah Palin is arguable the most unqualified candidate to run for the vice presidential race in US history, which is only to affirm our suspicion that John McCain is a desperate, deeply disconnected man resorting to desperate measures. Palin is not only an ultra social conservative, she vetoed the bill denying benefits to gays as [...]
Michelle Malkin Blames Current Financial Crisis on Illegal Immigrants: Embarrasses Own Party
Michelle Malkin is at it again, and this time she’s placing the blame on illegal immigrants for the financial crisis with WAMU. This misguided woman has taken her credibility to an all time low, which is evident by her fellow conservatives criticizing her for arguing such a far-fetched, conspiracy theory. Normally, her anti-immigrant, illogical reasoning [...]
Marriage Sham: It Doesn’t Pay
Another arrest and another dark bruise to immigrant advocate groups in the US. immigration system. While most advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, wherein millions of immigrants may be removed from the shadow and consequential abuses by employers and substandard health care, there are those that will abuse and exploit the immigration system for economic profits. [...]
Who’s Behind the Republican Party, It Ain’t Just Who You See
As I said in my earlier post, Hillary Clinton finally stepped aside and expressed her support of Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for the Presidential Election this November ’08. It is now the beginning of the Democratic hate-fest sponsored by the Republicans. In the news, there are numerous articles outlining the beginning stages of [...]
Haggling: Is it worth it?
Local: This sucker here, we can make alot of money ripping her off! Sucker: Did I mention that I understand your language and I have no intention of paying you triple the going rate for a 20 minute car ride to my hotel? Local: Only $10 and I can drive you the 5 blocks to [...]
Karl Rove – Is it the end or just the beginning??
Bloggers worldwide are rejoicing with the latest news from the Oval office that Karl Rove’s resignation will be effective August 31, 2007. Rove is a political genius, but what makes him this revered and villified, is the notorious and underhanded way that he manipulates U.S. domestic politics. Nonetheless, the past few months Rove was defeated [...]
Comprehensive Immigration Reform in the USA
In the news, the Strive Act has made some headway, but against the interests of undocumented immigrants. Congress agreed to a “bargain” agreement and basically gutted the Act from its original platform so to better serve the interests of corporate clients. If passed in its current proposition, it would expose millions of immigrants in the [...]
Legal Myth: Anna Nicole Smith’s Baby May Inherit Millions
Many Americans tuned in to the story about the mysterious death of reality star Anna Nicole Smith. Now that her autopsy has been made public, the media reports are moving on to the next tidbit of tabloid, Anna Nicole Smith’s baby’s father and the legal battle to determine who has custody, visitations, guardianship, and inevitably, [...]
On A Personal Note
Ever since starting this blog, there’s been apprehension and anxiety about the content and the prose inserted into each post. Words can convey soft images, sentiments, and forgotten memories that are personal and unique to each reader. The selective use of words is a litmus test for the writer’s vocabulary and ultimately, his/her intelligence. Since [...]
Tax the Fat
Was in London a few months ago and saw the most obscure and thought provoking documentary in as many years, called “Tax the Fat” by Giles Coren. The young, slim fellow on the TV was charismatic and articulate, he had an important point to make and made no bones about couching it in a comedic [...]
American women prefer to be….(gasp!) single
Seems the US Census Bureau recently released data that more American women are saying no to marriage. This prima facie statement ambiguously indicates that 51% of women are living without a spouse when, in actuality, it also factors in women that have lovers/boyfriends/partners into that figure as being single. Legally this would be correct, however, [...]
New York City
Early this week the decision was made that New York City was the ideal place to celebrate my birthday, along with Binlaw’s and gf’s birthdays. It seems fundamentally unfair that anyone would have to share a birthday, especially considering there are 300 million people in the US alone. Statistically, it would be impossible NOT to [...]
Proper etiquette??
I went out this weekend to a local bar with Hubby and gf. While I was seated with my gf, some guy came along and bought me a drink. Coincidentally, Hubby was at the bar at the time trying to get us drinks. Hmmmmm…. do I drink the complimentary drink or return it to the [...]
Small things in life…
I get so aggravated by some of the minute, redundant things in my life. So much so that I’d rather be jabbed with a needle ten times over than to have to experience the excruciating pain of reliving it all over again. For instance, I find slow moving traffic to be painfully aggravating because there’s [...]
Happy New Year!!
There’s plenty to wish for in the new year, but none any different from those we wished for last year or years before, except maybe a few more pounds off than last. Either way, it seems almost pointless to really make resolutions, particularly those we have no meaningful way of sustaining. So why do people [...]
the Inlaws
I’ve decided to blog about a topic I’m quite knowledgeable about because not only am I an in law, I have tons and tons in my family. First of all, why do we refer to our spouses’ families as the in laws, considering it could easily be confused with the word outlaws. Sometimes it carries [...]
