The Trouble With Treos

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I’m hitting close to 2 years with my Palm Treo 700W so no surprise when it finally came apart this past weekend. Thankfully we keep insurance on all our phones (company plan) so by Tuesday I had a spanking new one in my hands and all my data sync’d back up. One of the reasons [...]

22-year-old, 15 Arrests

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

If there is a poster boy for controlling illegal immigration This guy has to be it. He is only 22 years old but has been arrested 15 times now for various illegal activities (other than illegally crossing the border of a sovereign nation) including smuggling others across the border.

McCain says early withdrawal from Iraq would mean ‘genocide’

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

I can understand why some Republicans hear McCain’s tough talk on Iraq and vote for him. His attitudes in this issue even appeal to me. I cannot begin to express how important it is that we not abandon the people of Iraq as we did in under Bush 42. Still, it is but one issue [...]

Detroit Metro home sales up by 15%

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

While Detroit may be leading the country in foreclosures they’re also leading the country in sales as well.

Che Flag in Obama Offices

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I guess if there were any doubt as to Obama’s communist platfor then a Che Guevara flag in one of this offices might lessen it a bit. Of course if all you know of Che is what you learned watching the propaganda film “Motorcycle Diaries” you may not know that Che was Castro’s chief executioner [...]

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Setting aside the roll call of conservative issues John McCain has voted against during his term in office one sure fire way to have conservatives simply stay home in November would be for him to have taken money from left wing nut jobs like, oh say George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry. Oops… Sadly running [...]

Buyer Beware: Old Valentine’s Candy

Monday, February 11th, 2008

If you’re buying candy for your significant other you might want to check out this story about stores selling Valentine’s candy from 2007 or even before. Now I’ve eaten stale chocolate and the only thing worse than stale chocolate is no chocolate. But when they unwrapped a Big Kiss and it had worms in it [...]
