If Window’s price were reflective of PC pricing since the advent of Windows it’d be $9.95…. […]

If you didn’t realize there was a blog for about everything maybe The Daily Kitten will convince you… I think I need a “<groan>” category….

I’m sure Senators Murtha or Durbin will find a way to make this guy a victim of American agression….

I think this Forbes article means I can safely leave my keys in the ignition all the time.

If only everyone were down to worrying about these 10 flagrant grammar mistakes that make you look stupid. I freely admit that I have been conscious of most all of these errors in my own grammer (specifically 1,2,4,5,8) for some time and have been making headway.
The sad thing is the people that I know […]

Yet another scientific about face. Seriously folks, they wonder why no one takes them seriously anymore. I wonder why…..
There is a very real skin cancer problem in America and we’re utilizing enough sun screen to sink several USS Mississippi battle wagons. So… maybe it isn’t the sun, eh? Then there is the dramatic […]

How about a few pictures from the Mojave Airplane Graveyard…

I seldom support a 3rd party candidate but I have also often written of my dismay with Indiana’s senior Senator, Richard Lugar, who almost daily reminds us he is a stooge of the State Department, the United Nations and Euro-centric globalism. Fortunately Rick Hale has stepped into the breach where even the Democrats fear […]

I love short clever quips.. here’s a few I’ve come across in the last few days that made me laugh….

A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the […]

Wow, Google just keeps going, now it’s spreadsheets. And you can, or will be able to, invite others to share/edit them. It’s currently in testing and by invite only but you can go to the link and add yourself to the waiting list. If you think it’d be useful…

Nice commentary at DenverPost.com - Chill out over global warming.
…next time you’re with some progressive friends, dissent. Tell ‘em you’re not sold on this global warming stuff.
Back away slowly. You’ll probably be called a fascist.
Don’t worry, you’re not. A true fascist is anyone who wants to take away my air conditioning or force […]

Two quotations (1, 2) for the 2 year anniversary of his passing. From his farewall address….
‘I’ve spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and […]

“And I hope that someday your children and grandchildren will tell of the time that a certain president came to town at the end of a long journey and asked their parents and grandparents to join him in setting America on the course to the new millennium—and that a century of peace, prosperity, opportunity, and […]

“Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? Those of us who are over thirty-five or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And […]

A Canadian Liberal candidate was able to shut down an opposition website.
There has been concern about how the issue of the Volpe donations was reflecting on the leadership race.
It seems the website revealed the candidate was receiving campaign contributions from kids. Kids of company Presidents. Drug companies for example.
My Office has had the […]

When you can’t beat them buy them and shut them down.

Seems there has been some cattle rustled in New York. I’m not sure which illustrates the thief’s desparation more clearly; that he was stealing calves…. or that he was driving a Neon.
