A few months ago I ordered a pizza from Dominos-- the delivery guy did not have change for a twenty- and instead of getting a five dollar tip- he ended up with an 8 dollar tip.
I complained to Dominos about this scam-- don't you think that the drivers should have enough change on them to break a twenty for a twelve dollar order--One Would Think.
A complaint to the main headquarters led to a promise of a call from the Silver Spring Dominos-- three months later I am still waiting.
Meanwhile-- Papa Johns has been advertising their pan pizza.
I ordered one and it was not so good. The crust was burnt and had an off taste.
I emailed a complaint to their main headquarters- I received a response the same day from the local proprietor- he apologized and offered a free pizza in turn-- anykind I wished for.
The next day I ordered the spinach, chicken alfredo. It was excellent as was the customer service.
I will now add Papa johns to my list of good places for pizzas along with Armands, and Z-pizza.
Dominos will be added to my "S" list.

Clinton, Obama or McCain
I am a registered Democrat. This is no way means that I vote the Democratic ticket all the time.
I have voted for Gude, Morella, Reagan, Perot, Nader and many other candidates over the years.
This year I may vote for McCain.
I believe many democrats will do the same.
The reasoning-- We are sick and tired of the dirty politics of the Democrat front runners- we are sick of the bickering, the lies, the name calling and the mistaken belief that these two Democrats think they are qualified to be President.
I believe McCain would be a good transitional President- and maybe the Democrats will find someone four years from now more qualified and suitable to be President.
I can only hope.

Roger Clemens, Steroids, sports enhancement
Yesterday, Roger Clemens testified on Capitol Hill.
Now I know many people think he is guilty- but I take the position that he is innocent- How anyone can believe an admitted liar, drug dealer, and quack like McNamee is beyond me.
McNamee bought the drugs illegally, played doctor and administered the drugs, lied to the police, to investgaors and many others.
Until I hear it from the lips of Roger Clemens and he says that he used steroids, I will continue to believe that he is innocent.
Good luck to you Roger.

Obama or Clinton
I am still undecided about the election. Do I vote for Obama, Clinton or should I cast a vote for Edwards to show some kind of protest.
Although Clinton has more experience than Obama- do either one of them really expect to change anything.
We know they can not withdraw the troops within 6 months, a year or even two years.
We know there will not be a national health policy- Capitol Hill has been trying to pass some kind of Universal Health plan for over 40 years.
We know that no matter who wins-- the majority of of us will go on with our lives with no noticeable differences.
So I plan to vote in the primary- but I won't make up my mind until I walk into that booth.

Obama vs. Jesse Jackson
There is much dismissing of Obama's win in South Carolina by some of the liberal media-- comments such as".. he is a black candidate- so he was expected to win" or ..."Remember Jesse Jackson won South Carolina and did not get the nomination..." and there are others.
Well those people better watch out-- Jesse Jackson went to the 1988 Presidential Convention- in second palce with vote total and delegates.
Most important however- was the stirrring speech he gave. A speech that moved many people- a speech that Obama and John Edwards seem to be copying.
In his heyday Jesse Jackson was a force to be reckoned with.
Many people dismissed his candidacy and many Democratic big shots ignored his constituency-- these ignored Democrats-- became the blue collar Democrats that elected George Bush and Ronald Reagan.
Obama and John Edwards are stirring up these Democrats once more--
the Democrats have better stop the bickering and remember their roots if they expect to capture the White House.

How about "Now"!
Currently. Sens Obama and Clinton are proposing ideas for an economic stimulus. health care and other ideas.
If they both have such great ideas-- why are they telling us about them--
they are incumbents-- why are they not at work proposing these ideas-- a 90 day delay on foreclosures if elected- how about now before you are elected- change- how about doing something now about change-- not when you are elected.
Obama and Hillary should get their supporters together and rally at the White House gates- and proclaim "NOW!"
How about a march on the White House-- as for the Republican candidates-- McCain as an incumbent should join in- he is afterall a favorite of the Independents.
Politics aside-- if these liars were serious about running for the betterment of the country-- let them do it now.

The Primaries
The primaries have started, and it appears that there is no definite winner.
Although the Democratic Party appears to have two front runners- do not count John Edwards out.Obama has little experience, Hillary has a lot of baggage and they may end up duking it out and creating enough mayhem , that the voters may very well say --"Enough is enough-I will vote for Edwards".
John Edwards had provided most of the beef in the campaign so far- he has used less flowery slogans and more concrete ideas- 'Listen up people!"
Meanwhile--on the Republican side it is still a mishmash with no apparent winner.MaCain is on thr rise, Huckabee is a surprise-he is winningor doing better than expected- Romney is a surprise- he is doing worse than expected.
The big surprise is that Fred Thompson may surprise everyone and win South Carolina, and Guelianni may win Florida.
I think Romney will lose Michigan- and Super Tuesday may winnow the fields of both parties.
Meanwhile-- the US Congress has done nothing to benefit the working man or women-the Democrats are just as big of a failure as the Republicans were- giving more proof that we should pay our elected representatives less and give them smaller staff budgets to work with.
There should be no longterm financial incentive to stay in office- a fresh coat of paint is needed every few years.
Locally, Maryland is still facing massive deficits as is Montgomery County.
I do not know what the answer is- taxes have been raised, budget cuts are being suggested and there are still some crazies who think we should develop more land in order to increase population in order to increase our tax base. Hmmmm
The logic here is kind of scary.
It is getting more expensive to live in this state for many people- I have had three neighbors and a number of friends- who have left the state for cheaper living- I would like to join them but I have family in the area and I do not think my health insurance will follow me.
Another reason- I love Maryland and I hate to leave friends behind and I hate the thought of packing and moving.
So... I will stay and hope for the best for all of us who live in this great state- lets be nice to each other and help each other and keep an open mind.
