The entire thing is under the fold – a blockbuster, hell of a read, probably will be the first time in my entire life I look forward to waking up on Sunday for a program on this channel…the setup:  Chris Wallace … Continue reading →

I told myself I wasn’t going to bore all of you with the details of what’s bugging me

While I’m not a big fan of John McCain, I have always been impressed by John Warner…Lindsey Graham was a fellow I’d seen a lot from in some instances, but overall I’d have been reluctant to call myself a fan … Continue reading →

Quick hits – out of sorts at the moment – dug into the dirtbag here (all short videos – my favs on YouTube), enjoy! William F Buckley – “Iraq War is a Failure” … Phish performing Tube (check out the … Continue reading →

In an idiotic war you need an equally idiotic populace who will put up with conscription or be fighting an opponent with a less idiotic populace than your own in order to win. In a fight as deranged as this … Continue reading →

I think there are two clear paths ahead. This nation can listen to the dictates of fear and hubris as the administration alternately ignores Al Qaeda and then trumpets their success. Alternately brags about success in Iraq and then ignores … Continue reading →

When I remember 9/11, the images that haunt me are those of the people jumping to their deaths, and the many times afterwards when Osama would show up on my TV screen. To this day there aren’t any people jumping … Continue reading →

Since I disagreed with that idiot running the Rolling Barrage, Paul bounced. His #1 thing was Clemson football, and after last year he told me to watch out because Clemson was bringing back all their starters on offense. Now…BC held … Continue reading →

Forget about WMDs being found in Iraq and the rabble over that farse a couple weeks ago, as now we have a document signed by Republicans and Democrats stating that everything Bush, Cheney and their minions pushed as ‘evidence’ of … Continue reading →

Ted Stevens has to rescue a dizzy, confused George Allen, as he stammers like a kid giving a book report in front of the class, a book he never read a page of, seemingly hadn’t changed at all, but for … Continue reading →

Time to bring the ‘Army of One’ collage back…they’ll pick and choose a few to sacrifice to Allah for attrocities or whatever you want to call it. Forget about ‘shake and bake’ assaults, cluster bombs and torture…the United States government … Continue reading →

The right blames the mayor and governor for the condition of the city today.  Neither official has the tax revenue to rebuild without federal money.  Federal money is authorized, though not handed over directly, but given to corporations who subcontract … Continue reading →

I didn’t think much of the ‘can a woman read the news’ rabble when it was loud, as the skill set is one that she has in tow…I mean, if she can make the nonsense everywhere at the Today Show … Continue reading →

Positive Press on Iraq – If you type it out, you’re in the money! (by Walter Pincus) When Utah Protests – Heavily religious, anti-Iraq war…polygamy they hate, I’d jump in if Chloe Sevigny could be one of my wives…otherwise, I’d … Continue reading →

This guy is better at his job than I’d like to give him credit for on most days. I’d been reading for a couple months about his collaboration with mayor Bloomberg (NYC) on cutting down carbon emissions, that they’d be … Continue reading →

I’m just getting into act 3…I’ve been trying to figure out how to relay the significance of seeing this to people who might be inclined to skip it. Maybe its the military experience, but for me, as an American, this … Continue reading →

With the year past since Katrina as a backdrop, and the current condition of New Orleans, still trash and debris in the streets, still without half of its population, still without consistent electricity (ala Iraq), it’s a good time to … Continue reading →

Arrogance and bigotry are finally equaling negative results for dirtbags who dig up hatred for the sake of feeling big in front of a crowd…the ‘mucaca’ insult has managed to vault his opponent into first place according to some new … Continue reading →

Ended up in Maine these past few days, stayed in York and noticed some interesting things, one being that when driving down main roads in this area of the country, pet groomers outnumber licquor stores 5:1 – an estimation, as … Continue reading →

Of why the font changes three times in the previous post, or why it distorts the rest of the page.  Being that I’m 11 months away from a software engineering degree, it shouldn’t be out of my grasp to figure … Continue reading →

Rough-draft fictional character, a music producer…one of my many (when I can find time for it) characters in play right now, though a common story for all of them is hard to come by, I like this guy quite a … Continue reading →

Into the local library to complete some school assignments and send them in.  Hiatus for any heavy stuff a few days, I have been working on some fiction I’ll be laying on you in a day or two.  Hope everyone is … Continue reading →

Would you rather not be able to walk – or – not be able to speak?

On the ACT College Entrance Exam, it’s like this: 1. Minnesota  2. WISCONSIN (Nick)  3. Iowa Big Ten country, out of where the Pats 1st round pick Maroney (RB-MIN), Brady, HOBBS, Hochstein, Light, Eugene and VRABEL are from. 

Americans with a particular skin pigment purchased 150 prepaid cell phones for the purpose of reselling them.  The news report this morning was about terrorism and said that the phones could be used to detonate a bomb.  My first impression … Continue reading →

“Well, I like Joe Lieberman, but I support Ned Lamont, because Joe is showing with that regrettable statement that he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get it. The fact is that we were attacked on 9/11 by Al Qaeda and … Continue reading →

Now that a few days have passed, political particle dust settled all over my brain, some sections of the tissue have turned red, infected, pulsing with a beat all its own. Scalpel in hand, let’s get after it already, start … Continue reading →

Boxing in the United States can sometimes make me wish I was Canadian…and I’m feeling like that right now.  HBO on Saturday night had a couple of great fights, two African boxers who both won in my opinion.  The first … Continue reading →

Newt Gingrich: “(if the CT insurgency wins)…it will be the beginning of extraordinarily important period in American politics, and in American history.” Notice that he doesn’t guarantee anything.  The obvious retort to any politician predicting doomsday if we withdrew from Iraq … Continue reading →
