Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed. No, he did not strike it rich in oil. This man was a life long democrat. Voted for Bill Clinton twice, as well as Jimmy Carter. He also voted for Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer (so yea, he may live in Beverly Hills). A man who could be counted on to get out the vote for whatever democrat was running, with few reservations. Then one day, he looked up, and could not stand what he saw his party Becoming. He could not...

As Mark Twain so famously stated many years ago. But this is not about Statistics. Just plain lies. And not even Subtle ones. As some may or may not be aware of, the latest governor of Virginia is trying to outsource the IT Department. At first we were promised "n ojob l;oss" now we are just hearing "no mass layoffs". But it gets even better. Despite official assurances that their jobs will be secure through Virginia's information-technology outsourcing, state gov...
Sorry if my Darth Vader imitation is off by a bit. I cant seem to get the nuance down at times. Recently, 2 people have called me fatherly, or father like. One I think was done in a spirit of good natured ribbing, and the other in the heat of debate. For the life of me, I don't see how any one can say I am fatherly, father like, or paternal. I never had one! My father left me when I was 4. I saw him once in my life after that. I probably would not have r...
Yes, thank you for one of the best Supreme courts in the nation! We know you are a blue state in presidential elections. But little did we know how so in tune with true conservatives you truly are! As I read this Article, I was saying "WTF"??? It seems true reason still does exist! Instead of being mind numbed sycophants, they truly reason out every decision! We believe the constitutional arrangement in our state and nation reposes in the legislative body the role of...
My sister had a birthday yesterday! I will not embarrass her with the age as I intend to send a link to this for her. But let me tell you about her. She was born of my stepfather and mother. In fact, I had to sleep with my stepfather as he would not wake form anything and my mother was in the hospital in a difficult labor (this was the X0s - no birthing rooms!). So about 2am, on October 14th in the year of our lord 19xx, I got a call. I woke my step father and to...
Mais oui Madames et Monsiuers! Jean-Bernard Merimee, FORMER French ambassador to the UN, has been taken into custody in connection with the Oil for Food Scandal! And that French looking ex-presidential candidate wanted us to look for France for Guidance in the world? OK, so where is my cut? Hmmm? I am French. I am looking to Jean. I want my cut! Damn, I only claim my French heritage when there is a scandal or something. Wait, I always claim it. That's c...

Teresa Heinz Kerry is no longer. Nope, she is now again, Teresa Heinz. Does this mean that she is mad at Hanoi John? Or, does this mean he is not going to run in 08? Or does this mean she is just flip flopping, like her husband, and wil go back to Heinz-Kerry for the 08 run? Inquiring minds want to know.
Yes that lovable fur ball of anti war, pro terrorism has decided she knows more than all the world helath experts put together. In what can only be described as a complete meltdown of intellectual reasoning and what clearly demonstrates that her so called peace movement is just another stab at the "I hate Bush" crowd, so discredited, to again get their faces in front of a Camera, Cindy opined the following: George and friends have come up with a new enemy whose atrocities also can't b...

The local news had a story today. 44 of the 45 New Orleans children that have registered in the schools here are staying. At least for the year. They have been accepted and are doing well in their new schools. And they are staying until the year is out (mid june here). And that is good. Or is it? Even the worst prognostications indicate Mardi Gras will happen, New Orleans will be back in business shortly. The only thing they lack is people. Before ...
