Book Review: Speech-less: Tales Of A White House Survivor By Matt Latimer
2009-09-23 02:37:00 By Loyd Eskildson Finding himself with a law degree and lured by the upbeat themes of the Reagan revolution, Matt heads to Washington, D.C. and snares a series of jobs with powerful figures on Capitol Hill, beginning as an assistant for Senator Spencer Abraham (R, MI) for $25,000 in 1996. Two moves later Matt was with Senator Kyl (R, AZ), and then off to Secretary Rumsfeld's office as a speech writer. En route, Matt drops dirt on several prominent senators (Abraham, E. Dole, McCain) for various reasons - detached/MIA, dumb, terrifying temper, and briefly comments on Ann Coulter (likes). Latimer was surprised to find Rumsfeld's hands tied on hiring decisions involving relatively low-level and reportedly less than stellar performers - the White House (Karl Rove) apparently had a long reach. Latimer was frustrated for a time by their Machiavellian machinations blocking him from meeting regularly with Sec. Rumsfeld. Latimer reports that he could have stayed with incoming Se...

The Good and The Bad: Survivor, CSI with Taylor Swift, Burn Notice and Bull
2009-03-07 02:13:00 As a part of the entertainment side of my life, television is something that I enjoy regularly, however Thursday night is one of those nights depending upon the time of year that normally seems to be interesting for me, what a line up on television that I set to tape on my DVR from my local cable company. Yes, it’s rare for me to watch anything live anymore with the exception of watching NASCAR racing, so taping them and watching them anywhere between 30 minutes later to the next day is normal for me. Survivor is normal to me, I rarely miss an episode of it and that goes for the hit show Burn Notice and the new season of Bullrun (Bullrun 2) that gets really nasty at times, however when it comes to CSI, that is a completely different story.The good of the night: So let’s start with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation from last night, for some reason or another, I hate the sight of blood and dead bodies, some people are scared of spiders, snakes, I am hate the sight of blood and dead b...

My friend Makay has brought into my awareness the identity of the thirty-third spirit in my Temple Collection of shaman stones.It is the spirit of Squirrel.For about a year and a half now I have been steadily employed full time after a very long stretch of years of unemployment (sprinkled with a few months here and there of significant underemployment). Given my current experience of steady full time employment I have been on a minor spending binge to obtain ritual tools - like a squirrel stocking up should winter come again.On Squirrel as a power animal, it is written (Beyond the Rainbow):Like most people who have bird feeders, I have had battles with squirrels, most of which the squirrels have won.

TV Spotlight: Survivor Gabon and Big Brother 10.
2008-09-26 23:06:00 Big Brother 10: It’s been a couple of weeks now since the season finale of Big Brother 10 and I have had some time to reflect on this past summer of Big Brother and Dan winning the $500,000. You know, the back to basics season with a few previously used features like one week of America’s Player, America’s Vote and so on was a welcome to change and addition to the season. The season of Big Brother 10 was one of the best seasons of all time, BB did a great job with it.Of course, you have to start with the 13 houseguests that entered that house back in early-mid July, first and most important, they didn’t know each other at all, that’s key, no one had an advantage of knowing someone going into the game. Second, you had a wide range group of people from age 22 to age 75, boy, Jerry the 75 year old man fighting in the house, week in and week out and he made it to the final three, all thought his comments to Dan on his religon was outrages, this is a game and it even took me so...

INTRODUCTION: VICTIM OR SURVIVOR? A Deeper Look into the Question
2008-06-23 21:47:00 I'm Standing on the Edge of a Raisin is a very heart wrecking story of a survivor of domestic violence, emotional abuse, verbal abuse ...and much MUCH more!So many times I have heard stories of others telling spouses that are experiencing domestic violence that they MUST get into couple's counseling PRONTO! That's insane! Couple's counseling is the LAST thing you do! I'm not going to say you NEVER do that, but certainly NOT while the abuser is still ABUSING!Lets use some common sense for a minute here okay? YEP here comes my sarcasm! You have one person that controls and is abusive and chances are very vindictive at times! A scary person! Then you have the victim. Lets go back to our childhood and remember the bully and the one they LOVED to beat up on a regular basis! What happened to that bullied child in the principal office if he tattled? If the child did it once - they thought twice if they were faced with it again! Payback is normal for abusers also. Did you ...

Breast Cancer Awareness: Help Make June Survivor Month!
2008-06-05 09:05:00 Before we go straight to the point, we understand that some of you had read this article on breast cancer before. This is, in fact, the third time that you will be reading it. Nevertheless, we do not mind posting it again, because breast cancer is not a plaything. If we do nothing about it, our lives can be destroyed, but if we act now, our lives can be saved. Breast cancer occurs when cancer cells start to develop in the breast tissues. In the recent years, breast cancer has become rampant among the women of the world, being ranked fifth in the list of deadly cancers. Tragically, news had been spreading for more than a decade about famous female individuals who struggled to fight this killer disease, but the fight was in vain. Those included in the list were singers Minnie Riperton and Dusty Springfield, Linda who was the beloved wife of Beatles member Paul McCartney, and Oscar award-winning actress Bette Davis.There still are women out there who are braving this disease, some of w...
