The War on Guns (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
If you are an NRA member, you should consider contacting them and asking how a freedom hating militant like Burdick does not get an "F" and Gordon Smith who promised to vote to renew Bill Clinton's gun ban gets an "A-" Meanwhile, anti-gun Attorney General candidate John Kroger is unrated, and vocally pro-gun candidate Jim Leuenberger is ignored. Some have been calling for reforms for years--only to...

Bad Timing
Stop the Ride! (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
Sunday, when the empty light on my van dinged on, I decided I could wait to get gas until Monday. I waited, hoping that the prices would come down after the weekend. I waited because I had earned 10 cents off at Kroger and would drive right by there on Monday. Monday came. The gas prices did go down slightly, and with my 10 cents off I paid $3.53 a gallon. "Not bad," I thought, and went onto to our...

Ladylee...The Original Oldgirl (Free subscription) | 02/10/2008
So... I was cruising down I-20, heading home from work after picking up a prescription at the White people's Kroger, when my cell phone rings. "Hello?" "Lesia!" "Yeah, who is this?" I wait for a reply. Nobody calls me that. My fam calls me "Lee" or "Lisa". Hell, some folks even call me "LadyLee". Most throw an "A" on "lesia" and call me that, since that is my gub'ment name. "Lesia." "Yeah, wassup?"...

Image: Cow with mastitis ( Monica Morgan on Flickr) Just because the cow moos, doesn’t mean that it’s over. Thanks to giant chains such as Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger announcing recently that they would no longer carry milk from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), Monsanto – biotech giant and exploiter of genes extraordinaire – then announced in early August that it would be...

No TV or Internet Cable -- Day 19
Bill Crider's Pop Culture Magazine (Free subscription) | 01/10/2008
I'm not in Kroger today. Instead, I'm at Panera Bread, while Judy's giving the economy a kick-start by visiting Coldwater Creek and Chico's. We've had no word from Comcast about resumption of service, though, as I said yesterday, we've received their bill covering days without service and asking for us to pay for future days without service. You gotta love that idea.

No TV Cable and Internet -- Day 18

So here I am again in my home away from home, Kroger. As far as I know, there's no change in the cable service in Alvin. Yesterday, my neighbor saw a Comcast technician in the neighborhood, but he was gone before she could get to him and question him. One thing's for sure, though. Comcast hasn't failed to get out its bills. The one we received shows that last month we paid for service through September...
