A Scary Thought

Before you know it, bitter autumnlike winds validate the arrival of winter.


The glorious autumn we've enjoyed already seems a distant memory.

It's misty, gray, blurrry cold here in Springfield, OR.

Good News: Presidential candidate Ron Paul has garnered a fair amount of both attention and scrutiny for his proposals to get rid of many government agencies (IRS, FBI) and public safety net programs (even proposing demolishing Medicare altogether), all in the name of "freedom."

Not-so-good News: Imagine you're a White House staffer in President Hillary Clinton's administration. You walk into the Oval Office to hand the president some document, and she's talking with Bill. You have a brief conversation with the two of them. As you walk out, you find yourself saying, "Thank you, Madame President. Thank you, Mister President." That's just freaky...I got the shiver!
