I don’t do much writing lately, because being sick seems to take up most of my energy. I’m sure once I have surgery and I’m feeling better, the words will flow!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Media Police State The Regime
More White House hypocrisy
The Obama administration is quick to point the finger at foreign regimes that persecute truth-telling journalists, but slow to own up to its own repressive policies. From David Carr: Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria. Jake Tapper, the White House correspondent for ABC News, [...]

Hershey bar? No thanks

Robert Reich started a recent column by looking on the bright side: “Economic cheerleaders on Wall Street and in the White House are taking heart.

March Photo A Day Challenge
Now, this looks like fun. This is a link to March Photo A Day Challenge. It has a calendar with a daily word for inspiration for a photo. Today’s is “Up.” One doesn’t need a fancy camera, in fact, many just use the camera on their phones. Upload the shots onto your favorite social media. I’ve gotten together with some virtual “social media” friends to share our photographs. It will be nice to share our creativity. Bookmark It
