About Us
- Katie (and Ken) Baldwin
- OR, United States
- I am a graduate of the American Studies and Spanish programs of Brigham Young University, a lover of all things Humanities, and with weaknesses for naughty junk food, 1990s romantic comedies, beautiful clothes/shoes/makeup, and Halloween. I like to daydream about being a professor, an archaeologist, an FBI agent, or an actress. I also love my three adorable nieces. Kenny is a BYU graduate of the Engineering and Business schools who dreams of becoming a police officer. He loves everything motorcycle and guitar, baseball, basketball, and snowboarding, and would never say no to Italian food or clothes shopping. He loves horror films, watching food shows on the Travel Channel, and cop shows, all of which have led to some exciting adventures for us! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, served missions in NYC (me) and northern California (Ken), and love the Gospel and our family and friends.

Another one?
Oh, my gosh - I am listening to yet another apology by President Obama for the United States, this time an admission that we simply "don't take enough responsibility" for our part in preventing global warming as he mingles with the G8 Summit attendees. Um, didn't we devalue the Nobel Prize by handing it to a celebrity for....what, actually? He didn't do anything other than talk about global warming, an unconfirmed scientific supposition that humans cause the fluctuation in temperatures that used to be ascribed to natural patterns and cycles. But anyway, despite the fact that Al Gore ("I invented the internet") didn't actually make any scientific discoveries but somehow still got awarded for other people's work, we've all had to suffer ever since with the enormous guilt trip of GLOBAL WARMING and being awful, horrible polluters and destroyers of the earth. Wasn't it just thirty years ago that everyone was convinced another ice age was coming? Doesn't the United States lead the world in throwing money and effort into protecting the environment and refusing to drill offshore or in gigantic wastelands up in Alaska? And yet that is not enough - President Obama has to take it upon himself to apologize for America again. When can we expect to stop being his whipping boy? Besides, the Fox correspondent even admitted that the agreements made in L'Aquila were little more than handshakes and photo ops. Apologize for yourself, President Obama, if you're so embarrassed about America, hang up the Big Brother hat you so desperately want to wear, and leave the rest of us alone.

A-men.
AMEN!!!!
The apologies are nauseating.
And, thank you for reminding us all what a true moron Al Gore really is... (aka "I invented the internet")
You know what's funny? I have always been a recycler, just because I think it is a worthwhile thing to do. But with all this whacked-out, fake 'save the environment' garbage based on global warming, I just feel like burying a bunch of plastic bottles in my backyard or something! It is truly, TRULY maddening.
Michelle, you rebel, you!!!
