Ms. Middle America

Potatoes Aren’t Evil
So if you saw Monday’s Happy Hour , you know that school lunches is a topic that I get quite worked up about. And while I was extremely worked up and passionate last night, I don’t feel as though I did a good enough job of representing my point of view. I have a lot of thoughts on this topic and would have loved to say more. Today I remembered that I have a blog where I can talk about whatever...

LulzSec & Cyber Wilding
LulzSec & Cyber Wilding The last month or so LulzSec has taken the Internet and the media by storm. They have hacked and DDoS’ed their way to infamy. They claim that they gather online in large groups to get some lulz. Lulzsec is not original in using DDoS attacks, or even as a loosely tied together group of hackers . We’ve seen both of those before, but Lulz Security is different for one very...

Give me sarcasm or give me death!
Well my friends, today is the day that I have decided to grace you with a new blog post. I know that you have been waiting on baited breath. There is something that has been driving me crazy recently, so I thought I might as well write about it here. It has come to my attention that women are not allowed to be sarcastic. [GASP!] If you have read any of my other posts, you already know that they...

It’s time for the FDA to stop wasting our dime
Today I bring you the story of a murky underground market that is ruining America from its very core. It is a tale of large animals forced to produce a mass quantity of goods to be consumed by children and adults. The product often can be laden with bacteria and is illegal in 10 states. It is smuggled by men dressed in black who speak in the tongue of a distant land. It is the story of night...

Is Mississippi’s racism really out of control?
You may have seen the findings of a survey today that are being flashed all over the internet because of their shocking nature. The Public Policy Polling Company recently asked Conservatives in Mississippi whether they thought Interracial marriage should be legal or not. The answer was shocking with 46% of MS republicans stating that Interracial Marriage should be illegal. All of the liberal...

Climate change reality check
Some of you may know that I have an issue with the way that progressives talk about Climate Change. I have no interest in debating whether or not Climate Change, or Global Warming or whatever you want to call it is real. Whether or not we as humans are directly affecting the weather on Earth is really of no consequence to me. I believe that we are polluting the earth, and that we should do our...

The Rich Ruling the Poor
We all know that in the early days of America only white rich men were able to vote. Now that you don't have to be white, a property owner or a male to vote we all like to believe that we've come a long way, that the phrase "government by the people" is now a reality. But a research paper by Martin Gilens from 2005 shows us that is not the case. It's been referenced recently in the Economist ,...

Following the press release, while most people were offering their support, some offered criticism . Some people insinuated that she deserved the assault, while others made criticisms of the Egyptian people. Articles have been popping up...

Imported from America
I would never call myself a car expert. I’ve never changed my own oil, and I’m not that great at recognizing the make, model and year of a car on demand. I was however raised with a healthy appreciation for American muscle cars. My father used to drag race when he was younger. Aside from emphasizing how much he loved his gold Chevelle , he also made sure I knew that American Graffiti was the...

The Price of Parenting
This week I came across a study that stopped me in my tracks. It comes to us from The University of Waterloo in Canada. Basically, the gist of the study says all parents are hopelessly miserable because of the sacrifices they have made for their children. But the study doesn’t stop there, it goes on to explain that not only are the parents miserable, but they are in fact fooling themselves into...
