ALL WE GOT IS TIME (By Isidro Gonzales)

Will “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” be repealed by years end?

Note: I’ve decided to blog about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) till it’s either repealed or taken off the table.

WILL THE REAL JOHN McCAIN PLEASE STAND UP?

AMERICA, THIS IS YOUR DEATH PANEL!!

Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) and the state of Arizona recently condemned 98 of its citizens to die.

Their crime?

VETERANS DAY 2010

2010 NFL SEASON: WEEK 9

Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for winning their first World Series since 1954 when they were the New York Baseball Giants. It was a good, hard fought series. The Rangers gave it all. Once again, congratulations to that franchise and their city; they deserve it.

And for the record: Go Rangers in 2011!

FAVORITE SIMPSONS POLITICAL QUOTES

IF THE TEA PARTY WINS, AMERICA LOSES

I think I have done a decent job of highlighting the extreme positions that the Tea Party takeover of the Republican Party has exhibited during this election cycle.

If you are contemplating not voting on Tuesday, I suggest you do not.

That is what the Tea Party is counting on you not doing.

I HIGHLY suggest that you exercise your vote. Reject the extremism that they are advocating.

Do not let the Tea Party win.

I WANT THAT MONEY!!

Who has seen The Producers?

COMPARE AND CONTRAST

Which is a closer representation of the United States?
