Looks like I’m not the only one unhappy being treated like a criminal for using Sudafed.

When I think of “two great tastes that taste great together” the one thing that does not come to mind is chocolate beer. If it’s like many other flavored beers I’ve tried it will take a truck load to extract a single Hersey’s Kiss…

“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 hope […]

“If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government… The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.”
Calvin Coolidge

Now that the Left has succeeded into making “Communist” not a dirty word in American Politics the would be Communist dictators thought to be history are reemerging. Regan’s fear of a wholely communist South America are slowing being realized and we sit and watch.

With the changing seasons and the abundance of new subject materials it’s time to create a new header graphic. Between the fall colors, the acquisition of the Shadow, and the new covered bridge images I tried to find something that might encompass a bit of them all. So, here are the candidates for this round:

First […]

It seems the anti-smoking crowd forgot about a little thing called reverse psycology but American teens are as vulnerable to it as ever.

I have covered this before but another look surely is needed here. In short a Florida police chief saw his officers becoming overweight and out of shape so he sent out a memo about it - if you’re a jelly belly it’s time to get into shape.
Well, the officers didn’t like that so […]

The phrase ‘political correctness’ has been banned in the workplace as it might offend someone. It is even hinted that the phrase is linked to the Klan. In case you hadn’t guessed, this is in the UK. Personally I think they’d gotten more traction on the ban had the claimed it […]

If Kerry’s comments were a “joke” then why does he have a history of such comments going back to 1972?

“I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown,” Kerry wrote. “We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear […]

I have read some pretty radical racist remarks made by liberals about conservatives and Michael Steele’s current senate race is only a minor example. But seldom do I see such black on black rascist bravo sierra between liberals. The nastly remarks about Allen Keys really didn’t surpise me but to denigrate Obama because his […]

For those who don’t want to wade through my Monday’s Ride post to ferret out the interesting links here are the two new Covered Bridge galleries created with pictures taken Monday. The first is the newly rebuilt Bridgeton Covered Bridge in Bridgeton, Indiana. The second is the Roseville Covered Bridge a mile or so […]

This past Monday looked like such an outstanding weather day that I requested it off the week before. And disappointed I wasn’t when the day arrived and the mercury was above 60 before 10AM. Come 10:30AM I was rubber to the road with the wind on my face.
Up to Indianapolis I go […]

With the release of 2007 it was time to upgrade. My experiences with \”upgrades\” have always been mixed but the 10 to 2006 series upgrades went well other than a few Active Directory issues on my office workstation. Really, I expected the same issues this time.
Doing the office machine first (it was still […]

I was reading Gary Varvel’s current cartoon on his blog and it brought this thought to mind, again:
Every election is choosing the lesser of two (or three) evils. I personally vote based on the averages and a few key issues. On average Republicans are less likely to support infanticide, taking away my guns, […]
