Modern Day Apology

In last night’s US Open, Serena Williams went ballistic on a small woman line judge. Serena who is built like a dump truck couldn’t understand why the little lady would feel threatened. If you watched it you would see Serena walk over to her with racket in hand, point the racket angrily at the woman […]

All Time Worst Case of Liberal Media Bias

This story about ACORN assisting two people in setting up a brothel in Baltimore is unbelievable. The fact that this story is not on USAToday or MSNBC is a flagrant case of liberal media bias. CNN covered the story but even more unbelievably took the side of the ACORN representative. Most other news outlets only […]

One of my favorite quotes

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed […]

Common Sense

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”? You likely heard this phrase from your parents as they tried to teach you lessons of humility, value, thrift and industry. What would you think of a parent who said to their child, “if you want a […]

Tom Ridge–Cashing In

Tom Ridge writes in his book that he was pressured to increase the terror level right before the 2004 elections. Now that he got buzz going about his book he says, that wasn’t what he was suggesting and that people are misreading what he said. Disgusting

What the Heck?

Please tell me the flags I see flying at half mast, in the most conservative county in the nation, are not for Teddy Kennedy. If I had a flag pole I would be finding a way to extend it as high as possible. The absolute last thing we should be doing right now is celebrating […]

No Moon Shot

I haven’t seen any public opinion polls on the possibility of a Moon or Mars shot by NASA. I don’t know if I’m in the minority or majority but I am completely against it. I believe we need to focus our space program on practical programs; items that principally involve this Earth. I’m ok with […]

Facebook Groups

Right now on Facebook you have people associating themselves with dozens of groups and associations that support this or that cause. It seems harmless enough but I see an issue. In normal social circles we have Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and other “ats” and “ans.” Respectable people, who I’m sometimes not, adjust their discussions based on […]
