About me
My husband and I have been married for nearly 39 years. We have 3 adult (kinda') children and 5 awesome grandchildren.
I love tennis and fishing...just the outdoors and nature in general. Studying the Bible has been a big part of my adult life. I'm a news-aholic and addicted to the internet. I like solitude, quiet and orderliness. Chaos makes me crazy.
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks has provided an internet environment that is eclectic, fast-paced, fun, informative and congenial. There is always something interesting to read. It provides a great way to communicate ideas and opinions and learn new things.

Call Congress Back to Vote on Drilling
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 9:47 PM   
 August recess?? Forget it! They've stuffed the business of the people for months and are stonewalling even now. Put it up for a vote....or shut up. This has nothing to do with drilling for oil; it has to do with the continuation of the obstructing of this Bush Administration. If it were a Democrat in the Presidency, progress would have already be made.

Pickens' words more than just wind

by jatfla  7-22-2008    2
 I heard this man's advertisement and thought "This is what we're looking for." Big Oil is criticized for their massive profits. This man has made $$ and wants to use it to reinvest in "renewable energy". He makes sense. When the Sierra Club supports him you know he must be on the right track. Hopefully Democrats in Congress will recognize a win/win solution and even encourage others.

Obama: 'There's no doubt that Gen. Petraeus does not want a timetable'
jatfla
by jatfla  7-22-2008   
 Of course Gen. Petraeus is only concerned about financing his pet war in Iraq. s/off. Petraeus doesn't want *artificial* timetables that would undermine the progress that's been made. Maybe if the Senator would come back to the US, assume the job he's being paid to do (deal with legislation in the Senate), learn a little and not sound so stupid then he might be better able to help the US economy which HE claims is really hurting.

Pelosi blocks vote on Bush request to lift ban...
jatfla
by jatfla  7-20-2008    4
 This is so typical of Pelosi and her fellow Democrats in Congress. She won't even allow it to be voted on!! She will do whatever it takes to continue to stonewall this Administration...no, the democratic system...with her refusal to allow the process to move and bring this to a vote. Why? Because she would lose! FTA: "In the House, the power rests in the speaker, the power of recognition, of setting the agenda. ... Very different rules,"

Press Secretary/Tony Snow
jatfla
by jatfla  7-18-2008   
 I enjoyed listening to the man, was happy when the President called him, admired his convictions and values, and am so sad that he is gone. The saying that "the good die young", for me, was exemplified when Tony Snow lost his battle with cancer. I despise that disease. Let's pour $$$$ into to this, OK?

 FTA Obama also says every child should learn to speak Spanish; he doesn't. He says we are 'embarrassing' to have fallen behind in our multilingual skills and can only say "merci beaucoup", yet he doesn't speak French. "we are the ones we've been waiting for.."...the royal 'we' I suppose.

by jatfla  7-17-2008    1
 Reid's comment speak volumes!! The Dems have completely refused to co-operate with the President whenever possible...they preferred to investigate and undermine the Administration. Talk about a 'do-nothing Congress'! Rasmussen had the percentage at 9.

 I couldn't get it all to clip, but it was very interesting. While I don't have a weight problem, cholesterol is a genetic problem. Jeezz...I have to do more research. While I can resist every single sweet, dessert around... I love every carbohydrate that is available.

Oil Falls More Than $4 on Report of Unexpected Supply Increase
jatfla
by jatfla  7-16-2008    4
 So, the President's little trip abroad, his decision to lift the moratorium, the citizenry's insistence on "Drill, Drill, Drill" might be turning this thing around a little. Now if Congress would get on board and join the rest of us *little people* instead of sticking with it's "it's Bush's fault" I think the price would fall like a rock.

 Yes, I'm always supportive of something that has been proven successful too. A little late though. Nice try Obama. After you trounced the efforts, the policy, the military...now that the surge has made significant progress, you want to slap them on the back and join the chorus of "Good job, guy!"

 At last! A tiny step and only one. I hope America's industries are making all-out efforts to finally deal with our energy-producing block. Follow all the avenues and options to end our begging for energy. Think of what it might mean for our foreign policy options.

Congressional Performance
jatfla
by jatfla  7-8-2008    1
 Single digits, huh? Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid promised so much...but the final number says it all. Most of us believe that Congressmen & women are more interested in promoting their careers rather than dealing with issues. No one called me, but I couldn't agree more. I saw Sen. Warner talking about lowering the speed limit to 55mph again. What an embarrassment!

 Can't deny the facts that are finally coming out. Those who opposed the war will never concede or believe...but time will reveal all the information. My NIL was there. He saw. The American press sooooo wanted to denigrate the President and his decisions. I acknowledge all did not go well, but no one is omniscient. I stand by what the President has done and his reasonings behind it.

 People in the *real* world know who is truly important. No disrespect to Ms. Jolie, but her influence is minimal when it comes to life & death issues. This is also true of Crews, Baldwin, Franken, Hayden, etc..... Celebrities are useless when it comes to getting things accomplished. Nice article that gives credit where credit is due.
