I have a degree in music but that changed to computer systems and I have worked in application development for 25 years. I still enjoy music, do a bit of ballroom dancing, and I am also involved in pet rescue and volunteer at an area animal shelter. I also help run a science fiction convention in Memphis - it is held every year in March.

Caring for a living veteran requires time, money and a life-long commitment. Every Veterans Day our politicians show they don't know the difference as they visit a cemetery instead of a VA hospital."

Politics – Right now, the smart money is betting the next president of the United States will be named Obama, and dollars are the primary reason why.

Politics – Hillary Clinton standing off to the side while Obama is at the podium up there in Unity, New Hampshire, and she's got her hands clasped, and she is just looking at him so admiringly, and I don't believe for a minute she is admiring or enjoying whatever is going on. This is all about $10 million being raised.

Politics – The money bit's at 38 seconds in if you're pressed for time. After a day spent paying lip service to both sides of the debate while studiously avoiding the issue of whether the actual statute at stake in Heller was unconstitutional, he finally bites the bullet (no pun intended) and addresses it.

Politics – Like the man says, he insists on the suppression of ego; he just didn't realize it might come off as egotistical to debut his very own presidential seal until his friends and allies in the media politely informed him of it

Politics – Like a Rip Van Winkle who is unaware of recent history, Barack Obama is citing the government's prosecution of those responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as the correct way to deal with terrorism. In an ABC interview, Obama said the government can crack down on terrorists "within the constraints of the Constitution."

Politics – OK, who called it first? Obama drops the Presidential-looking seal after the press politely tells him it looks a skosh egotistical. This is what the Germans call "schadenfreude" - enjoying someone else's misfortune.
