Far Away 2008-08-13 20:28:12 Some days like today… I really want to get Far Away

Demand Fox Stop Race Baiting and Fear Mongering 2008-08-09 18:19:56 Dear Missnexus.com readers,
Right now, Fox News is trying to paint Barack Obama as foreign, un-American, suspicious, and scary. They’re trying to send Americans the message that our country’s first viable Black candidate for President is not “one of us.”

Justice for LaVena 2008-07-30 23:22:48 Dear missnexus.com readers,
LaVena Johnson was 19 years old, serving in Iraq as a private in the Army, when she was raped, murdered, and her body was burned–by someone from her own military base. Despite overwhelming physical evidence, the Army called it a suicide and closed the case.[1]
For three years, LaVena’s parents have been [...] Read more:Justice
I Hate You Dobbs, and Your Little Dog Too 2008-09-15 22:14:17 We have been having some problems with our van for a little over a month now. A few weeks back we shelled out about a $1,000.00 in repair at a local Dobbs

When is the Witch Coming? 2008-08-31 12:53:04 We watched Enchanted last night via Charter On Demand. The movie was much better than I thought it would be. An excellent choice for a family movie.

I turn into [...] Read more:Witch

Removed EntreCard and BlogRush Widgets 2008-08-30 23:14:50 I decided earlier today to remove the EntreCard and BlogRush widgets from my site. They were not driving a great deal of traffic to my site.
