$40!

$40! Yes, that is what this post is about. $40! This is how much money you have helped me raise over the past year through advertising on this site. $40! It's not much, especially when you consider my hosting fees (and the time I put in to writing the articles here).

John Edwards comes out of the closet

I'm sorry, I meant to say that he came out of the shadows. In any case, he has now graced us with his presence once again, this time standing behind a podium displaying an Obama sign. Yes folks, Edwards has finally made his decision and has endorsed Barack Obama for ...

Take me home, country road!

I'm not sure if Hillary Clinton is the "mountain momma" that John Denver was thinking of when he penned those lyrics, but she is definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s primary race in West Virginia. She lost her lead in the superdelegate race over the weekend as ...

Happy Mother’s Day

We here at U.S. Common Sense would like to extend our well wishes and love to all of our mothers out there, for with out them, none of us would be here today. If you haven't called your mother yet, it isn't too late. Pick up that phone, dial her up, and let her know ...

Burmese tragedy!

I wish I could write some very poetic lines regarding the tragedy in Burma, but I am not that skilled of a writer. So read the articles linked below about the great loss of life (current estimates believe it could top 100,000 people killed). Between this storm and ...

Kids get arthritis too!

This isn’t exactly a political topic, but it is a topic that means a lot to me. A young friend of mine, Emily, has suffered from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis throughout her life. While not widely known, kids get arthritis too, and this young gal has shown her family, her friends, and the world that this [...]

Asides

Thank you for your patience. As you can tell, I've changed the way the recent posts are displayed on the site. I am using a program called Smooth Gallery, which allows for the last five posts to scroll on your screen without taking up much space. Let me know what you think about the change. (Comments)
Well, if you've tried to access the site within the past hour or two (it is currently 7:30pm EST on Friday), you probably saw an error message on the page. I would like to apologize for the interruption in service. I couldn't identify the error, so I simply restored a back-up copy of the site from earlier today. If you left a comment which is now "missing," I did not intentionally delete it. Things seem to be working with no problems now. Sorry for the inconvenience. (Comments)
For you long-time readers, you will notice I made a minor change to the web site today. In addition to extending the number of recent articles section from 5 to 7 posts, I have also enrolled in Project Wonderful - a new internet advertising system. Unlike the Google AdSense ads that you see on the site which only generate income based upon people clicking the ads, Project Wonderful helps me generate income by selling ad space on the site for a period of time regardless on the number of clicks the ad receives. Like with EnterCard, I hope these new ads provide you an avenue to discover some new interesting sites that you might enjoy. (Comments)
