Occupy Kingwood – A Sustainable Form Of The Occupy Movement (2012-02-11)

February 11, 2012 By Egberto Willies

Well we are at Occupy Kingwood week 8. I got up in the morning knowing it was going to be a long day. After-all, I promised to get to Occupy Kingwood early with donuts by 9:00 AM, our Kingwood Area Democrats were having a brunch and candidate round up at the Kingwood Country Club at […]

Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen – Father Shoots Computer After FB Posting

February 11, 2012 By Egberto Willies

February 10, 2012 By Egberto Willies

Mitt Romney Supports Drug Testing Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, & Farm Subsidies Recipients

February 10, 2012 By Egberto Willies

While I do not believe he would necessarily want to test grandma for drugs before she gets her social security, his statement is not a slip of the tongue in his mind.

Yesterday’s primary election and caucus results are consistent with polling showing that Republican voters are increasingly unhappy with their choices for their party’s nominee. In Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri, not only did Mitt Romney lose, only a fraction of voters from the last time showed up for him. In Colorado, Romney got half the votes […]
