Sarah Palin

You know I’m not a fan of Sarah Palin. We may share common values. We may share common principals. But I want people in government who can manage. She hasn’t shown me any evidence that she can manage. I want to see a steady evidence of repeatable success. Can she manage time? Conduct a meeting? […]

Lack of Decency

I’m so confused by some of Obama’s recent actions that I decided to read the Daily Kos to get the liberal perspective. Well, after spending about thirty minutes reading articles by what should be professional journalists, I decided enough was enough. The use of filthy language and sexual references was constant. When I say filthy, […]

I’ve changed….No wait I’m back

My whole life I’ve been the kind of person who would throw away bread that had the slightest bit of mold on it. Sorting through for a good piece was just too depression era for me. Today I was making a sandwich to take to work. I noticed a tiny spot of mold on the […]

Harry Reid Gets Full Credit

The people of Nevada make me sick. Every Nevadan is benefiting from the low life industries their state promotes. These include: drinking, smoking, gambling, and trades of the flesh. They gleefully collect tax dollars from these industries. These trades have no redeeming qualities. Using them to generate tax revenues is wrong. Despite the damage these […]

The Way It Should Be

Yesterday I had an awesome experience. It was Election Day so I stopped at the City Hall to vote. I walked in and was greeted by various volunteers. I went to the W section and was met by Sis. Wilson, who is a member of my congregation. She said, “Hello Brother Winkel. I need to […]

Come On

“Colts owner Jim Irsay said he wouldn’t vote to approve Limbaugh as an NFL owner. Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke harshly of Limbaugh. And several owners offered grim assessments that the outspoken Limbaugh would meet the standards of conduct demanded by the NFL.” Wow, Rush can’t meet the standards of conduct demanded by the NFL? What […]

Selective Compassion

The Federal Government has twice extended the unemployment benefits to Americans who live in states with unemployment over 6%. I am baffled that such an extension is not for all Americans. Is the pain experienced by a family in Utah less than the pain experienced by a family in Michigan? Utah has less unemployment for […]

I Wonder

“ZURICH, Switzerland (CNN) — Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar and Martin Scorsese have “demanded the immediate release” of fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland.” Wo! Woody Allen demands his immediate release. We all better get going on this. After all, Woody is an authority on having sex with underage girls. “It seems inadmissible […]

You have to forgive…..you don’t have to trust

We have been commanded by God to forgive. We have not been commanded to forget. To forget would be unwise. How can you learn from your mistakes or the mistakes of others if you forget? We need to remember and make judgments based on what we have observed. The product of these judgments is who […]

So you purchased a new computer…

When you purchase a new computer do the following: 1. Find the Microsoft Windows Media (DVD) that came with the machine. This DVD is your lifeline. Unless you buy a new copy of Windows, this is the only copy of Windows that you can install on your machine. Everyone carelessly loses these DVD’s. I guess […]
