"The Voice of Reason": Opinionated MAMA's Perspective on the SOCIAL & POLITICAL ISSUES of Our Times

Originally posted 9/12/09, given the political climate, we thought our very first opinion piece was relevant this week:  “Listen to your mother!” We've all heard it a million times....it's an effective reminder that makes kids sit up a little straighter and pay attention.  Yep, it's true, kids need constant reminders on how to behave, but unfortunately, the grown ups in our country need to be reminded, too.  You know, ”mind your manners,” “clean up your own mess,” “don’t be a poor sport” and on and on.  So, who better to...

SHOPPING FOR CANDIDATES: Christmas List For The GOP

We’ve all got our Christmas lists.  Our kids’ lists are a mile long as always, while our MAMA lists get shorter and more pointed each year.  An uninterrupted bath, a day without losing our keys, or a new pair of slippers will suffice. 

Some might wonder, though, what a Presidential candidate might put on their Christmas list.   It could be the same thing that we might ask for…that the Primaries to be over with.  So that the field could be narrowed, and we might get some "Peace on TV" for a change.  But, just for fun, let’s speculate….

Newt Gingrich- A spaceship.  He loves NASA and the moon.  It’d just be fun for him to get to go to outer space whenever he wanted, and charge consulting fees that are really “out of this world.”

Michele Bachmann- A pole of her own.  An operation like the North Pole, where her  “poll” numbers could be higher.

Jon Huntsman- To replace Keith Richards for Rolling Stones reunion tour in China.  He’s a rocker who speaks Mandarin and probably needs a break about now.

Ron Paul- A time machine.  So he could be young again.  His ideas are so great and he’s taking everyone to task, but young people in the country fear the reaper.

Rick Perry- White House belt buckle.  Like the kind you win at the rodeo.  He just wants to win the big cowboy buckle so badly!  The guy has got swagger!

Mitt Romney- Stock in hair gel company.  It’s not a vanity thing.  His hair is perfect…always… and he’s smart enough to invest in its future.

Rick Santorum- A bottle of Patron.  He knows he needs to lighten up, and secretly he knows tequila will get him there.

Herman Cain- A big ass diamond ring.  To give to his wife on bended knee while begging her forgiveness for running her through the ringer.  We know he's not a candidate anymore, but we thought his wife deserved some bling anyway!

MAMAs - please check out the POLL about Santa and our opinion on faking "Perfect" Family MOMents during the holidays.  Bah humbug!  What's your opinion?
