No, shame on you Barak. Shame on you for your next statement: "I expected this out of John McCain," McCain is many things. A saint is not one of them. But so far, he has gone out of his way to stick to the issues. He appears to be the only one. But this behavior is typical of the left, and now, sadly, Barak is just another tired sycophant of the left. And the favorite dodge is to accuse your opponents of that which you do - so that t...

I had to leave early from work today (Early? I got in at 6, and left at 2, with no lunch - yea that is early!) to accomodate one of the "you have an appointment between 2 and whenever to fix yoru phone" companies. Fortunately for me, they were here right at 2. With only minor problems, they got my phone switched over to VOIP, and I got to mow the hay field (it had only been 2 weeks, but good weeks for grass!). Before I was done, they said they were done. Not quite, but...
Decrease? OMG! Grab the logs for the fire! Grab extra blankets! Armegeddon is upon us! Well, we can almost here Al Gorette yelling this as the new religion of Global Cooling takes up where the old tired religion of Global Warming dies a noisy, if deserved death. But of course this is not really anything to worry about as the earth has been doing this for billions (that is of years. Yet we are going to have to worry about freezing to death now? B...
In honor of Zoo's birthday, and his leaving his teen years behind, I donated my 101st (official) pint of blood. With the local service having changed systems 4 times since I started (30 years ago in September), and the fact that I gave before I moved to the area, the unofficial total is more like 150. But I decided to donate this pint to celebrate Zoo's birthday and told them to credit him for the - Excuse me? can it wait? I am writing my blog right now. Hold on fol...

Hillary Clinton . While all the fingers on the left are trying to point to Bush, it is telling that 3 of those fingers are pointing straight back to Hillary. It seems that Hillary is already starting to hand out plums, as her campaign manager, Margaret Williams, "miraculously" got a position on the board of Delta Funding just after they went bankrupt. Unlike some of the other companies that just have gotten caught with bad loans, Delta was in the loan sharking b...
Gwen died December 20, 2007. Having outlived her only child by some 40 odd years. No parent should ever have to outlive their child. Especially one whose life was taken by a drunk and coward.
Arthur C.Clarke died yesterday. I have been so busy I misssed his passing, but I will long mourn it. He was one of the great classic Science Fiction Writers, few reached his stature. For the past many years, he has lived in Sri Lanka, but was actually a citizen of Her majesty. He will best be remembered as the Author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but that was far from his greatest work. Along with Isaac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon, and to a lesser extent Ray Bradbuy, he was ...
As the days grew shorter, and the darkness hours lengthened, the people drew close in fear. Fear of the passing of the life giving light. Fear that the light would forever disappear and never again smile down upon them, to bless their lives, their crops, their good hunting. So in fear, they built bonfires to chase away the darkness, and sacrificed all manner of animals to the God of light. To appease her, and make her warm their world again. And bring back the life g...
Egged on by the NY Times that now has a hate (in the love/hate cycle) relationship with John McCain, the left blogosphere is questioning McCain's eligibility to be president. It seems there is this little clause in the constitution about being a "natural-born citizen". And no further explanation is forthcoming from the constitution. However, there is that law, passed by the founders (which they love to run back to for "intent") in 1790 that citizens: “born beyon...
Last year, I purchased some items from Deep Discount for Christmas. You know that big holiday that most people in the western world celebrate (even if they do not believe in Christianity)? I am sure you have heard of it, and most people (this side of a vegetable) know it always falls on December 25th, every year! But Deep Discount does not! No, after ordering the stuff well in advance, and figuring even with a slow boat from China the stuff will get there by Christmas, I w...
Even if it is only a year early, the sooner we get rid of Tim "Ted Matthews" Kaine, the better for the Commonwealth! Why should we be the only ones to suffer?
