Don’t buy gas today

May 15th, 2007 | No Comments

Today is the national protest aimed at the oil producers where people are encouraged to not buy gas for one day as a sign of protect. I won’t be buying gas today. My wife won’t be buying gas today. It’s not because either of us think this will work. It’s because we bought gas the [...]

Nancy Pelosi misses the obvious

April 5th, 2007 | No Comments

Nancy Pelosi, usurping the position of President of the United States, asked some non-elected members of the Saudi government why there were not more women acting as king in Saudi Arabia. Maybe I can help her. Saudi Arabia is what is called an absolute monarchy.  Now, what that means is there is no constitution.  There [...]

Girls making out is the new black?

February 2nd, 2007 | No Comments

That’s the teaser for this pic on Colleghumor: Girls making out is the new black. (from CollegeHumor) It seems every generation wants to shock the previous generation by doing things they THINK their parents never did.  My generation did it mainly by having guys primping like a girl, and girls appearing to be plastic replicas [...]

So Be It

December 8th, 2006 | No Comments

I received another one of those hokey emails that circulate ad nauseum.  I get several every day.  Most I just ignore after about two lines.  This one kept my attention because it makes some sense.

Caught this little bit on Volokh: ….Jonathan Adler cites evidence that the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think thank has "banned" conservatives and libertarians critical of the Bush administration from its events. I don’t know enough to comment on Heritage’s alleged banning of Bruce Bartlett and Ryan Sager (referenced in the links in Jonathan’s post). [...]

Are we more racist or sexist?

November 14th, 2006 | No Comments

Diane Sawyer was interviewing Barack Obama yesterday and asked an intriguing question to him, are we more racist or sexist?  Obama dodged the question, not terribly effectively, by stating each individual makes their own decision.  I don’t believe that to be true.  Sawyer has taken some heat for even asking the question.  I don’t believe [...]

My 2006 election day prediction

November 7th, 2006 | 22 Comments

I am basing this not on polls, because polls are just as often wrong as they are right.  I am basing this on things that matter, that are really happening.  The stock market has moved up strongly today.  Wall Street LOVES a useless split House.  When there’s no chance of significant legislation being produced for [...]

October 17th, 2006 | No Comments

North Korea blasted U.N. sanctions Tuesday aimed at punishing the country for its atomic test, saying the measures were a declaration of war and that the nation wouldn’t yield to such pressure now that it’s a nuclear weapons power. "The resolution cannot be construed otherwise than a declaration of a war" against the North, also [...]
