Interpreting the Midterm Elections
Why are U.S. congressional elections important? Because, for better or for worse, the federal government has a profound impact on not just Americans, but on the lives of people around the world. When Americans vote on Tuesday, they will choose which of the two political parties will rule the U.S. Congress. What’s at stake is control over government spending, the regulatory environment for business, and the public policy agenda for the next two years.Despite six years of solid Republican control of the White House and Congress, it is important to remember that America is a country divided down the middle in pol

Smaller Scale Terrorist Attacks Cannot Happen in the United States?
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an excellent follow-up article about a propane explosion in Falk, WI in December of last year. The article is based on extensive interviews with employees and investigators. It provides a lot of detail that was not available during the initial news reporting. The blast killed 3 and injured 45 people.While I do not remember this story from December, it was certainly a major event for personnel working at that plant, and of course the surrounding community. If this had not been a 'routine' industrial accident, but rather a terrorist attack I'm sure that the whole country would hav

My true passion for Raggedy Ann and Andy began in the early 1990's. While browsing through an antique store, I came across a McCall's dress pattern for the dolls and their clothes. The pattern was from the 1940's and had never been used. The pictures on the front of the envelope depicting the finished dolls were entirely different from today's Ann and Andy. Their look was definitely antique. It intrigued me to see how they started and how they evolved over the years. I decided then and there I would make Raggedy Ann and Andy for my new granddaughter.

After choosing fabrics suitable for the antique pattern, I began my project. As I progressed through the sewing, stuffing and dressmaking, it was time to begin the stitching of the faces and adding the yarn hair. Slowly, but surely, each doll took on a life of its own. Their faces seemed to look back at me in appreciation for bringing them to life. I was so proud of the finished product I entered them in a local doll show. Much to my surprise, they won 2nd place ribbons over all. I was delighted with my newly acquired talent. My intent to give the dolls to my granddaughter was quelled when an avid collector insisted I sell them to her for her collection. This was quite an honor, so I relinquished my prized pair to the delight of the collector. Af

A Letter To A Marine
The following poem was written in response to a newspaper article in which a third grade student wrote a letter to a soldier on the battlefield in a foreign country. The little girl wanted to know what it was like being at the front and also to try and understand why the soldiers were there. The poem is written from the point of view of an American soldier, describing his thoughts and feelings about the US military being sent to engage a foreign foe and his desire to defend the freedom of all Americans and the American way of life. Although freedom may be the right of an individual. Freedom is not free and requires

I had unwittingly created a new career when I bought the antique pattern. My life and home became consumed with Raggedys. I was cutting, sewing, stuffing and stitching every waking moment. My collection of Ann and Andy dolls became known as "My Raggedy Collection". I entered them in every show that took place. With each new show came heartwarming stories from people as they shared their Raggedy Ann and Andy life experiences with me. Some of the stories were heart wrenching as well as heartwarming.

One day a woman came to me as I was setting up my display booth for a show, carrying a tattered Raggedy Ann with no clothes. Most of her hair was missing. It seems Ann had been her daughter's favorite companion throughout a terminal illness. The daughter had died and the doll was now all the woman had left to remember her by. She asked if I could make clothes for her and possibly fix her hair. She offered to pay me and said all she wanted was to have Ann fixed up so she could remem
