  • Okay, this youtube video is REALLY good

    Via Insty, SISU, in their article about Democrats leaving a sinking ship (Dodd and Co.), has a link to this video— America Rising.  Well done!  The almost subliminal graphics work very well.  Check it out! Continue reading

  • Republicans and misconceptions

    Today Mr. B called me from the road to clue me about Michael Steele speaking on WLS this morning (sorry I kept you on the phone so long darlin’-you got me on a roll and I get clueless when I’m on a roll).  In any case, Mr. Steele seems to suffer under the misconception that… Continue reading

  • Since right now I've got nothing….

    Here’s a sign I have next to my desk–Author Unknown to me but if anyone knows, I’ll happily attribute it properly. Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don’t, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you… Continue reading

  • Wise words from a wise man…

    I don’t have kids, but JayG at MArooned does.  Please check out his post about his run-in with a do-gooder type.  The article ends with an interesting thought: “…had she really believed I was some uncaring brute who would willingly torture a six year old girl for fun, I doubt she’d have opened her mouth.… Continue reading

  • Okay, this statement is even dumber….

    CNN is reporting on a Tea Party economic protest/national strike on January 20, 2010.  At the end of the article is this sentence: CNN reached out to a number of national Tea Party organizations. While some were aware of the planned strike and some not informed, none said they were going to actively take part… Continue reading

  • Okay, this was just a dumb comment…

    And I’m not talking about Napolitano’s “the system worked” comment either.  Apparently Brit Hume took at chance at some sideways proselytization regarding Tiger Woods by saying that if Tiger would turn Christian, rather than Buddhist, then he can fully recover from the ongoing scandal.   Unfortunately the subject at hand was the biggest sports story, not… Continue reading

  • Happy New Year Everyone!

    With so many things going on in the world that affect us, both personally and professionally, take a moment to count your blessings and bring those into the New Year with you.  Acknowledge the past and learn from it.  Leave the bad stuff behind and start as fresh as Baby New Year with real hope… Continue reading

  • Some quotes from Heinlein's Lazarus Long (and one from de la Paz)

    It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics. –Lazarus… Continue reading

  • The Quote of the Day about Climategate…..

    From The Doctor is In–the blogpost called Our Gnostic Masters wherein the Doctor is talking about Climategate: We have been lectured endlessly by our postmodern mentors that religion is naught but ignorance and superstition, while scientific “facts” are Truth. But “knowledge is power,” as the saying goes — especially when the knowledge can be hidden… Continue reading

  • How not to win an election….

    I was listening to WLS this morning and heard an ad from Andy Martin, who is running against Mark Kirk in the Republican primary for Senator (Obama’s seat).  What I heard was an advertisement that is guaranteed to lose and it made Andy Martin (who I’ve never heard of until now) sound like a total… Continue reading
