I've decided to take an indefinite hiatus from blogging. I feel like I've complained enough and my falling numbers seem to confirm this. I think it's time for me take follow my wife's advice and put my money where my mouth is. So, I intend to get more involved with local activism in my area, and possibly start a group of my own. If anyone has done this, I would appreciate some advice, so drop me

The Left running the show.Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without a government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.Thomas Paine, "

A Reuters story reports that due to Global Warming sea levels could rise 4 and 1/2 feet by the year 2100. They also say this is much worse than expected. Let's put this is perspective. A quick calculation show that when averaged out, the disaster will be occurring at slightly over a half inch per year. This is their worst case scenario.This will not be the end of civilization, even if true, and

Our communications consist almost exclusively of demands for money despite the fact that she make 3 times as much money as I do and the child support is deducted automatically from my check.

I find it odd that all of the pseudo-enlightened people, including those who just were swept into power, keep reacting with a collective yawn about Iran's rush toward nuclear weapons. Obviously, the threat and promise to destroy Israel in a campaign of nuclear genocide leaves all true-believing Leftists unmoved. This all begs the question, have they given any consideration to what is #2 on

In the beginning...This post is a eulogy of sorts. The particular persons eulogized are not dead, but in many ways they are dead to me. These three individuals are the guys who make up the rock band Rush. I discovered them in 1976 when I was 16-years old and at a critical point in my life.

Another "God I feel old" moment. I recently went to my first concert in ages. Every thing seemed perfectly normal until time for the traditional "lighter salute". Instead of a sea of butane lighters like God intended, the crowd held up thousands of cellphones with their displays lit up. I don't know how long this has been going on but it just seemed wrong somehow.

Just as a side note. For my post "Are The Muslims 10 Feet Tall?" I went searching for a grapic of a giant by searching on the keyword "giant" naturally enough.

I don't know how many of you folks out there are science fiction or fantasy fans. If you're not I think it's your loss. Despite what your bitchy old maid English teacher told you in Jr. High School, it's just as legitimate a literature as any other and asks the big questions about the "human condition" just as well as any other, sometimes better.

I've got to tell you Muslim logic totally baffles me. I've had a saying for some years that I frequently told my son when he was growing up as well as some members of future majority groups when they would listen.

Of course you realize that authorizing over the counter sales of the Plan B "morning after" contraceptive is just a way of bypassing the ban of allowing minors to get abortions without parental consent.

I was just watching some video of Hezbollah adoring anti-Israeli protesters. Lots of signs urging compliance with international law. I think it's way past time to stop pretending there is such a thing. The various barbarians around the world and particularly in the Middle East don't believe in it either. To them, the words, and others like them, are just magical incantations that make their

First of all, let me make this disclaimer. I haven't watched a beauty pageant of TV since 1974 when I was finally forced to admit that my sense of feminine beauty was at odds with the judges. None of my picks for most beautiful ever made it past the first cut. (You wuz robbed Miss Spain!)Nevertheless, I was both surprised and not surprised to see a story on Reuters where a militant Islamic group

Actually, not so much a riddle as a couple of questions. I continue to try to educate myself, but I find certain areas remain dark. Such as the following two.One: I know that good male Muslims die and go on to an eternity of mindless bliss being serviced by 72 virgins who apparently have nothing better to do, as well as a few other pleasures desert-bound Bedouins dreamed up. My question is, what

I've been doing my bit, watching the news, reading the paper, listening to talk radio, and trying to keep up with what the hired help in Washington is doing. But I must admit I'm growing impatient. I would really like for our government to make up its mind on a course of action so that I'll know whether to start teaching my children Spanish, Chinese, or Arabic. I don't think it's too much to ask,

My brother-in-law was just telling me about a newscast he had recently seen. He tells me that some talking-head had claimed the most recent turmoil in the Middle East is part of a plan to drive oil prices up to the $300 bbl/$20 gal range. The goal being to really stick it to us and have us over a barrel (pun definitely intended). Unfortunately, my brother-in-law is not a big news guy so he could

Can facts hate? Of course not. But I'm sure every rational and semi-objective human being in the United States has casually mentioned a fact only to be subjected to angry and hysterical denunciation as a racist, fascist, or some other kind of -ist. You might have even been foolish enough to justify yourself by pointing out that the fact was, in fact, a fact--the truth. You were probably surprised

I found an AFP article about a poll in Britain that shows our cross-Atlantic brethren have a less than stellar opinion of us. One: I'm not so sure how objective it was because if a Leftist polling organization conducted the poll the phrasing was most likely rigged. Two: Even if they do, who cares?

Has anyone else noticed that lately Fox News seems to be gradually degenerating into a CNN clone? There are still hard-hitting stories about topics the MSM would never cover, but they do seem to be getting fewer and fewer. Even shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes seem to have become the "All Duke Rape Case All The Time Channel". But this is probably only because there has been a

Just read this little gem off the KTLA website in Los Angeles. It seems a man by the name of Tim Rush bought a house and settled in an almost exclusively Hispanic neighborhood in Santa Ana, California. He had just gone through a divorce and it was one area within his budget. Rush, who trains real estate agents for a living, was well acquainted with the law and property values. Consequently he

Rereading my post on what comprehensive means in the Leftist and RINO Bizarro World I see that I might need to more explicitly state my point. Comprehensive means legislation with a "poison pill" inside. You want actual border enforcement against illegals? Fine, it comes packaged with changes to "legal" immigration as bad or worse than illegal immigration ever was. Etc, etc.

Ted Kennedy proved the old adage, "even a stopped clock is right twice a day." During a speech on the floor he ridiculed the proposed (now partially passed) border wall, saying it was impractical and unnecessary. Instead he suggested a "virtual" wall which would be cheaper, less inflammatory, and much more secure. I have decided to extend this principle by paying my taxes with virtual payments,

I admit it. I just don't get the mania over American Idol, Survivor, Next Top Model, or any other such show. I've watched a couple of episodes of most of them, usually not by choice.

I watched the president's immigration speech last night, much to my apolitical wife's chagrin. I found it odd that the president had the temerity to proceed to explain the border problem to us in great detail as if he had just discovered it and couldn't wait to bring us up to date. I also find it odd that he seems to expect an "atta boy" for the few half measures he's proposed, seeing as how a

It’s a pity that we don’t teach rhetoric in school anymore. Not too long ago it was considered one of the 7 constituents of a good classical education. These days not much is left of that curriculum and what is left has been bled dry by pseudo-enlightened teaching methods.I’ve taken a course on rhetoric, which was helpful, but I’ve learned the most about it by countless hours of pondering

Just heard Geraldo Rivera pick sides. He was at one of the criminal invader jamborees and I guess he decided to stick with "his people". He came out against the better part of the immigration reform and warned against "making enemies of these people". He then chided America to "stop treating them as criminals and start treating them as the honored guests that they are". Yes, that's right, now

I'm watching hundreds of thousands of criminals on TV as they march through the streets of various cities demanding that their opinions be heard. I find it odd how few people seen to be hip to the fact that if you're here illegally, you're not entitled to an opinion on the subject. We don't let people who forge checks march in the streets demanding the legalization of "creative graphology". So,

Now, 9 days later, after dozens of unnecessary deaths and extensive unnecessary property damage, instead of dying down the story is transcending its irrelevance

⇐Robert A. Heinlein as a young man.There is a story that circulates about an incident while the original Star Trek series was in production. In that story a certain Muslim man observes that the in the futuristic Star Trek universe just about every kind of human and even non-human is represented, except Muslims, and takes offence. When he gets an opportunity to challenge this shortcoming with

Jesus reciting the ultra-short version of the New TestamentChristopher Titus has a bit in his standup routine where he states that "normal" people are scarier than dysfunctional people. The gist of it is that the "normal" people's haven't provided them with any resistance against the types of stressors that made dysfunctional people dysfunctional in the first place. I'm sure most of us know or

I came across an unusually clever bit of satirical criticism of my side of the political spectrum entitled "Become Republican". I found it amusing, even if a bit inaccurate. I think the creator believed he was looking through a window at us when he was looking into a mirror. Several of the criticisms leveled at us are far more accurately applied to them. Disregarding the Constitution when it's

Reason Online has an intriguing article by John Stossel on American education. He discusses an ABC Special Report that he has done entitled "Stupid in America", which was to air Friday. Unfortunately, I was distracted by family matters and forgot to watch. Still, I think the article was informative enough.As I'm sure that I've mentioned at some point, I'm a recovering public school teacher myself

I originally opted not to comment of the recent mining disaster in West Virginia, not because I didn't care, but I thought others would probably analyze it to death, which is rapidly turning out to be the case. I've changed my mind, however,I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but I was a miner myself, spending six years of my life underground. I didn't work in a coal mine, thank God, but I

Sometimes it does pay to get out of the bed in the morning. Sometimes good things do come to those who waited. Sometimes you do the "My Name Is Earl" things and sweet karma blows you a kiss.

I will have been blogging for a year this March and I'm old enough that I still deem blogging to be a new phenomenon. At least it's new enough that I still meet people who have never heard of it or think it is some sort of obscene sex act. So, I can't help but be amused when a blogger announces his or her "retirement", though I've deleted a number of said retirees from my blogroll.Now, the famous

I have returned from my New Years trip so posts should resume shortly. The holidays have had their usual effect. After digging through my clothes I've been forced to redesignate my oversized comfortable t-shirts as binding and chafing undersized t-shirts.

I must admit that very little surprises me. Living 45 years and spending several of them in the Navy will do that to you. A liberty call in the Philippines or Thailand will definitely raise the bar on shock value. As a matter of fact, about the only thing that surprises me theses days is what surprises other people in general and the Left in particular.I had wanted to blog on this previously, but

I just saw Jack Murtha on Fox News. He was frothing at the mouth about how the US military is for defending the US and not for building foreign governments, as usual. He went on to say how annoyed he was that Bush continues to mischaracterize the nature of the current war as something other than it really is.Far be it from me to pick on a fellow veteran.

I came across an interesting analysis of the anti-Muslim riots in Australia written by a man named Andrew West and published in the Sydney Morning Herald. The riots, of course, are outrageously barbaric behavior. The only comfort that I can take in their occurrence is that it is a sign that at least some people beyond US and Israeli shores are starting to notice the Islamic problem. Even so, it

When I saw this political cartoon by Michael Ramirez, I just had to post it with some commentary. One of my favorite sayings is the one that goes, "It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness." It conflicts with my cynical nature but I can still see the wisdom in it.When you reflect on it, we as a nation, if not all of us as individuals, have accomplished a hell of a lot

Fortunately it's a parody, otherwise everyone would want to be a terrorist. The Left does seem to have a fixation on Condi and kinky stuff. As I recall the poor lady made a public appearance some time back in an all black outfit with knee-high black boots and they whined about her embarrassing the country by appearing in "fetish wear".

In case you haven't heard, the Sirius satellite radio people have signed filthmeister Howard Stern to a five year contract, paying him a total of $500 million. I'm sure about many things and one of them is that Howard Stern isn't worth a half billion dollars. When my fellow citizens do things like this my patriotism wavers a little.

I've said it before, but we're living through the time of the Left's "Battle of the Bulge". As a result we're be treated to truly mind-boggling feats of stupidity and hubris. This insane war on Christmas and other religious holidays is a case in point. I find it odd that with their backs against the wall in so many ways the Left has chosen to take on this battle. It is something like a drowning

One of the running themes coming from various talking heads and columnists is that we can't have deportation as part of our plan for dealing with illegal immigration. This comes from both the Left and the Right. I'm constantly hearing or reading things that go something like this: "We have to stop any further border crossings, of course, but it it's impossible to deport the illegals that are

I share a fair number of opinions with Laura Ingraham. Chief among them is that celebrities should "Shut Up and Sing". This is doubly true because, while most fans grow up, celebrities almost never do. That's why so many Leftists still listen to the same old crappy protest music they did 40 years ago. The main difference is that their 8-track tapes were all stolen in 1979 so they have them on CD
