Recently, I have been accused of some nasty things.  not real nasty, just kind of bad form.  And in all cases, I was innocent of the charges, but I could see, with a squint in my eyes, how the accuser could take it that way. For the record, let me state, what my topic avows.  I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.  That given, let me further indicate something about grammar. When one starts a new paragraph, that means one is usually on a new thought.  So when I ...

Psikotick got me to thinking.  He wrote an excellant article of his fears of the Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.  No one will argue they are the representatives, if not the poster boys of the religious Right. Psi was afraid that they would get their way now that Bush has a 'mandate'.  basically, we did not disagree on what the duo wanted, just on if they would get it. But in the discussion, we found out we are pretty much in sync in our beliefs.  We just chose differen...

I seem to be blaclisted by another.  This time it is less clear why.  I have not been on for a few days, and came back to see I have been.  I have been debating Kingbee, and have not had a chance to follow up on some of his links (Sorry KB, Thanksgiving and all, but I will get to them next week). I posted a few comments, but nothing radical, or so it appears to me.  SO I do not know why I was this time. Unless it was just the ACC. In that case, I am not sorry.  It ...

Ok, so now you know I am crying Wolf! Why? Because I am tired of the pot calling the kettle black! Yea, you liberal bigots!  (Not all liberals, just the bigots) You who call Colin Powell an "Uncle tom". Yea you bigots who call Condi Rice an "Aunt Jemima".  yea you who call Clarence Thomas a step and Fetch it! You know what? you denigrate them because you cannot debate them!  You are so small that you cannot even sit in the same room with them, so you have to belittle t...

Well, it happened.  I did not like doing it, but I found the post to be highly offensive, as did others.  It is the first time I have deleted anyone's comments on any of my blogs. I know the topics I post can get incendiary, and I love a good jousting match.  I dont even care if you come onto my blog and call me stupid, crazy, an idiot, Moron, Turd, Ferd Berfull, or George Carlin's 7 forbidden words.  Rage against my topic, rage against me. Love me, hate me, destest me, or...

Lynne Stewart is outraged!  yes outraged!  How could the US hold Lawyers and especially activist ones, to the same laws as the common people! For those not in the know, she is one of those 60/70s lawyers that forgot that the Vietnam war is over, and this war is about people attacking the US, not just shooting soldiers in a far away land.  She aided and abetted Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind Muslim Cleric who was instrumental in the first WTC attack. And she is outraged?  ...

I am curious.  Why do we get email notifications from info@stardock.com , Wincustomize, and 2 different versions of Joe User?  Sometimes on the same thread, I get all 4. I am just curious.  Not a complaint, but I have a fault.  I always try to figure out things! Thanks for anyone that can help.

I had hoped to post a positive article for my 100, but then the jerk Lynne Stewart got in the way.  So I will just say, 100 after 5 months, and I thought I had run out of steam long ago. No, but it has been fun, and not all of mine gather responses, but when they do!  The heat would melt the fleas off a camel! That is ok.  I respect almost all Bloggers here at JU, but few of the anonymous posters.  That you, both liberal and conservative (And Thatoneguyinslc, I am a con...

In the last 24-48n hours Gideon MacLeish talk about the Purity of women and Texas Wahine talk about women and they are not going to stand down to any man. Both are correct.  Yet I offer a different view.  I plain dont understand them!  They drive me wild and drive me crazy!  They can be as soft as a butterfly, or as ferocious as a caged cat!  They are as strong as an ox, and as delicate as a flower! And they are as unfathomable as infinity!  I just plain will ...

Ever heard of that statement?  It is actually a good way to describe getting a back handed compliment, and one of our favorite writers (RIGHT!) has just damned some of our fellow bloggers with faint praise. There are conservatives on this site who do the right loads of favors with good writing and well-thought-out ideas, including Bakerstreet and Larry Kuperman. Sorry Larry and Baker.  I think you are well written and very articulate, regardless of what the local village ...

Give me a head of hair, long beautiful hair, shinin', gleamin', steamin', flaxin', waxin'. give me down to there hair, sholder length or longer, here baby, there mama, everywhere..... Acknowledgement to Treat Williams. What is it about Hair.  Half the guys I know are bald, or very short cut.  And we like it that way (and yes, count me as one - it is cooler).  Yet on a woman, even one that may not be pretty at first glance, long hair is sexy, provacative, cute, and just id...

Long lost in antiquity, the legends of Witches and cats was legend.  Back in the days of black and white we had "Bell, Book, and Candle" with Pyawacki (sp).  (for the clueless, it had James Stewart and Kim Novak as well). What is it about cats?  Forget the witches!  But cats?  I was lonely and had not heard from my wife due to the cellular differences between europe and America in a week.  And only gotten spotty badly spelled emails due to the fact that Europe is...

How many like Sarcasm?  I revel in it!  I love it!  Yes, I am a sarcastic SOB!  I am very sarcastic.  Sarcasm is a way of making a point when you are dealing with a bunch of 'feeling' people instead of thinking ones.  So I use it daily (I work for a 'Feeling' Agency anyway). The latest example is a co-worker.  One of those "feeling" people who said he was only working there because he thought he could do some good (yet he sweated when his contractor job ...

Recently, I bought my son an iPod for helping me in the yard.  He earned it!  but when it came, it would not work!  No matter what we tried, it would not work.  I spent an hour on the phone with their tech support - no luck.  They told me to return it to the Apple store. Well, I am not a technoneophyte.  So it was not like I was a rube about it.  I know how to follow instructions and the tech lady was very polite.  So after work (I am working half days ...

Ah yes, that old cliché - the Road to hell is paved with good intentions.  It may be old, and it may be a cliché, but like other natural laws, it is also true.  And it is about to be proven again by the Evil big box store Wal-Mart and the City of Chicago. Chicago has decided to gig big companies.  Requiring that they pay their employees a 'living' wage of at least $10/hour with another $3/hour kicked in for benefits (probably mostly health, but also Vacation and sick time).&nbs...
