I read my public "flogging" by Mr. Miller today; I had to chuckle. Firstly, I don't read fiction books often, so excuse me for not reading Mrs. Palin's book. My point was, the use of the word "rogue" in the title and the definition, which is right there in Webster's Dictionary. Secondly, you turn this into a "leftist fear" rant. McCain's decision to bring Mrs. Palin on as his V.P. candidate lost the election for the Republicans, or so my "rightist" friends tell me. "Annie Oakley" in the White House, was not all that appealing to the majority of voters as the election showed. ...more

Not long ago we had a bunch of aspiring pols begging for our votes and promising to give us the world in a hand basket if we would vote for them, right? Well guess what? We voted them into the place of their dreams so wouldn't it seem fair that in exchange for our little efforts, some of them should now come out of hiding and listen to us poor saps that listened to them? My question is this, why is it that when I look at the daily market reports on the price of oil, I see it dropping almost every day, but when I go to fill up at our local pumps the price jumps a little bit almost every day! Something is wrong in Denmark, was an old saying. Something is wrong in Highlands County should be the new saying. ...more
