The best of human existance is what they’re after, and the task is one that takes art and churns it into butter…not for us though, the readers.  Lists attract us like moths to a flame…very true, and this is a … Continue reading →

This no comments thing is really killing me…just busted out an impromptu response to the 700 Club thread, in character, probably better than the original, clicked on submit…lost forever.  What the hell is this all about?  Is Joseph Smith telling … Continue reading →

Simplistic anti-logic has fueled much of the talk from Republicans on the floors of the house and senate this past week, offering Americans the perspective that reads: If you’re talking about a withdrawal plan, you’re a coward.  Open-ended deployment equals … Continue reading →

Not for the reasons you’ve all got on your mind…but because I can’t post comments on MY OWN BLOG!  Everytime I try, the writing just disappears and the page refreshes.  This is embarrasing, but not nearly as embarrasing as the … Continue reading →

This is probably the best CSPAN I’ve seen all year.  The estimate from Democrats is the repeal would cost over $700 billion over 10 years, the estimate from Republicans is around $250 billion.  Democrats are pointing out that all this … Continue reading →

Landslide victory – you heard it here first. 

Going to break out of my dark routine for a day on the blog, and let the geek surface for a while.  Like with stocks, politics, sports and music, I’ve got a chip on my shoulder that drives me towards … Continue reading →

The cocksucker extends an invitation to your’s truly, says something about his ability to keep his eyes focused on what’s important, nevermind the line of chum, nevermind the gruesome worries of each day, mayhem, murder and the like, and come … Continue reading →

I think he was from the gas company.  Got him in the basement right now, his pulse is still pulsing, but not for long.  Keeps yelling about how he’s got kids…I correct him, said he should have paid better attention … Continue reading →

While I’m not that much into the US Open, I have anticipated a day of ease up till now, a day where daddy certainly does know best…or at least he’s provided the illusion that he does.  It’s a myth…I don’t … Continue reading →

“I can’t help but feel through eyes of a combat-wounded Marine in Vietnam, if someone was shot, you tried to save his life. . . . While you were in combat, you had a sense of urgency to end the … Continue reading →

More plagarism from Ann Coulter – Rude Pundit is on it, from chapter one of her new book: Here’s Coulter from Chapter 1 of Godless: The massive Dickey-Lincoln Dam, a $227 million hydroelectric project proposed on upper St. John River in … Continue reading →

My favorite parts: Also globalization, e-mail, cell phones interconnect our nations like never before. It is possible for even the most insulated American to have friends from all over the world. For instance, I recently received an e-mail asking me … Continue reading →

MANY of the professionals I come across in the field have had much to say about Frank throughout the years, and almost all of it has been negative.  You’ll notice that his actual face won’t show up for a couple … Continue reading →

War?  What are you talking about?  Budget?  Who told you the military’s operational budget hasn’t been approved yet for the current year?  Do you honestly think the Senate would put that aside with a war in full gear?  Wait, there … Continue reading →

My two personal favorites out of the newest my brother has sent. The one with him sleeping is incredible!

My mission was to secure two three pronged extension cords shorter than 5 feet in length, and on my way to that aisle in the store, and elderly man asked for some help.  Something to do with a large filter … Continue reading →

Pictures will accompany this post once I find the cable that connects the camera to the PC…feeling guilty right now as I’ve had several posts on the slate to show off the deadissue children, which now total four…I’ve got pictures … Continue reading →

The article contains a LOT of information, as the archives were delved into, rendering the mountain of hearsay irrelevant.  It’s interesting that Kerry didn’t think to have all of this on hand during the campaign, like he thought that his service … Continue reading →

The similarities between Tony Soprano’s son AJ and President Bush are undeniable.  Earlier in the season, AJ paid a visit to Uncle Junior with a hunting knife stashed in his shirt.  After bungling the murder attempt, orderlies piled on him … Continue reading →

President Bush (5-23-06):  It is a difficult task to stop suicide bombers. That’s the — but that’s one of the main — that’s the main weapon of the enemy, the capacity to destroy innocent life with a suicider. I can … Continue reading →

It’s a documentary shot in Baghdad at a hospital mostly, but footage from patrols is also a part of it.  Heart wrenching, void of any director commentary, no manipulated shots or short piece editing done for effect, no soundtrack, nothing … Continue reading →

Very dark…

When you ponder the enormity of earth and its wide array of life and death scenarios, eventually the reality of how miniscule a single one of us truly is can cause the mind to shift into overdrive.  In the case … Continue reading →

Sorry for hitting this up again so soon, but the sheer stupidity of it all is so rich, you’d swear it had to be a government operation.  Let me take you into the negotiation room for this brilliant exchange: Army:  … Continue reading →

It ensures one thing and one thing only…government’s gonna be spending a LOT of dough every year fixing it.  Then of course there will come the day when some politician wins by running on the “tear down that fence” platform, … Continue reading →

To study is to cut some grass or knock out a set of pushups – accumulative progression that relies on consistent effort in pursuit of a goal.  As a younger man (look at that, I just sounded like Morgan Freeman) … Continue reading →
