As I watch how different the parties view what constitutes “mudslinging” or “going negative” I can’t help but notice that the Democrat party and Ned Lamont are waging probably the dirtiest campaign in the Nation as they do everything they can to defeat no-longer-liberal-enough Joe Lieberman. I have been a Lieberman foe for many years [...]
For all my Hoosier neighbors just a quick reminder that we switch off of Daylight Savings Time this weekend. I must admit that I’m considering staying on DST year round…maybe then the Missus will get to things on time.
Weather forecasts are a fun if sometimes frustrating venture. Today, for example, I’m looking at the coming weekend weather on three different weather websites (Weather Underground, Weather Channel and Indy Star) and I’m getting 3 completely different outlooks just for Sunday.

It is sad that in England an honest shop owner cannot own a pistol to keep under his counter but a 14 year old gir can get sub machineguns for a drug gang. Society focuses entirely too much on law that curbs the rights of the citizenry because it’s easier than actually catching crooks. It [...]
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may [...]
