The Long March of Newt Gingrich

Watch The Long March of Newt Gingrich on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

This is very interesting on Newt Gingrich. I always knew he was an immoral jerk. But Clinton is also a jerk, and I'm sure the country would elect him again (if they could) because he balanced the budget with Newt. So the question is do we hire a guy that was a real jerk, but can actually get the job done...or hire someone else (who might be a jerk, if we knew the truth) but can not get the job done? I'm not sure I believe anyone in power. They all have dirty hands (sad). I agree with the state that puts people to work, and does not just provide welfare. We know Newts faults, but we also know he gave us a balanced budget...and we have not had that since then. And the debt we are in is immoral! There is such a sad lack of leadership in government. And what is even sadder is the gross amount of money it takes to win an election. Obama made that worse by not honoring the rules of finance reform. So now everyone needs money, and all that money has strings attached...not just for Gingrich, but for everyone! BTW I don't know who I can vote for. I'm not happy with anyone.

I'm not happy with anyone as well, there is no perfect candidate. That's why God says to pray for who is in leadership, I couldn't do the job. No one can do it alone.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom. This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading. I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth. Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help. But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen. Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program . That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees. She will be able to use it for an entire year. But I expect her to become a very good reader. And what a great gift to give to any child! She will have a lifetime love for books. Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda. And many of these women have never attended school. So she plans to use these ideas to h...
