Rachel Dolezal – over Breakfast!
copyright bettina network, inc. 2015 I am sure you knew we would weigh in on this one. It is too good not to talk about over breakfast – and it was a great conversation. What was best about the conversation – it was honest. We did not talk platitudes; conversation society would expect or accept;…
Read MoreA New World Order
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2015 We first heard of a “New World Order” when George Bush was president and let those words slip.

Read MoreRepublicanism BC and AD – oops, AT*
*BC = Boehner Cruz; AT = After Tea Party copyright 2013 Bettina Network, inc. The singing reported in the Tea Party’s caucus reminded me of the Titanic – remember?

copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2012 Ed Note: Yes, we had a breakfast conversation – several, in fact, – about the Sandy Hook massacre. It is too early and people are too tender to join the media massacre of our collective psyche as they posture and jump on this with both feet for days and days…

copyright Bettina Network, inc. – 2012 RICE = ROGERS = GUINIER. What do they have in common besides all being African Americans!
