I’m not a big adherent to some of the psychological aspects of business management but I’ve spent enough time with my friend Ed Turi to know there is something to what he teaches. Check out is blog - agree or disagree Ed knows his stuff and is passionate about the topic.
To put it […]

I will be off-line for a couple of days while the phone company sorts out a problem. Expected restoration of service is 5PM Friday and though I have expressed the urgency optimistic I am not. It’s the phone company, after all…

What is it about Pierre Cardin that they can’t get shirt sizes right? Is it their Korean manufacturer or are they intentionally undersized? Anyway, I have several Hawaiin and print shirts I wear, often loose, when out casually in public and every time one doesn’t fit right or badly profiles my .45 it’s a Pierre […]

If you love fireworks then Wednesday night might be a good night to watch Leno when Ann Coulter will square off with George Carlin.
I should bring my Ann Coulter doll home to watch it with me….

We flew Delta and had a good experience all the way around and every flight was early. The Missus had never flown before and oh boy did she have a good time especially during the climb-out, her favorite part of the ride. We went all the way down on MD88’s and on […]

Seems the Marxists in Venezuela have “appropriated” one of Teresa Hienz Kerry’s ketchup plants and they want it back. It seems that Hienz isn’t the only one questioning Venezuela’s move to the left - Some Venesuelans’ aren’t too happy about it either.
Venesuela is almost a text book case of pandering to […]

After a week of the media trying to hide the role of firearms in the hands of honest citizens in the area hit by Katrina today has seen a turn. Today there were people actually talking about responsible preparedness including firearms. More amazing is hearing it on National radio programs.
So many […]

If this report is true I should live forever!

Just an observation…. but when you put something questionably edible out for the possums… and the possums won’t eat it… it’s a sure sign you made the right choice to not eat it yourself.

Normally I frequent a couple of stations that are convenient to my travel path. But with $2.69/gal being the norm websites like Indianapolis Gas Prices become useful. What really got my attention was the Pilot truck stop in Lebonon with regular gas under $2.50/gal. I cannot even believe I consider that a […]

It has been many years since I switched to Microsoft Natural ty*e keyboards and though I have gone through a few mainly due to Dorito debris never has one sim*ly failed.
Until today.

I found out over the weekend that the Bowie knife I got from Legacy Sports for “$9.95 shipping” when I bought the Rossi 1892 is listed in wholesaler catalogs for $54!. I’m not sure what shocks me more, that I got it for $10 or that anyone would actually pay $79.95 retail for Chinese […]

This looks interesting…blogger location mapping… Under the “Currently Support Standards” section it says:
BlogMap also supports ICBM and geo.position tags.
I don’t know about you’all but this is one blogger that doesn’t particularly want ICBM’s to have my geo coordinates!

Some parts of Indiana really got it, almost 2 foot of snow in the South Eastern 1/2 of the state. When I rolled out yesterday I was quite disappointed for not a flake had landed in my woods. It wasn’t until after 9PM last evening that it really started and by midnight there was […]

It still amazes me how so much can be conveyed in a single one-frame cartoon from those such as Gary Varvel and Cox & Forkum. So today I am quite pleased to discover and add The Ryskind Sketchbook to my daily bookmark list. Be sure to check out the archives.

Frank J. has some letters sent to Michael Moore by our soldiers.

Not only is are the markets skyrocketing but oil is falling, too.
I eagerly await all the good news on everything from unemployment to progress in Iraq now that the Media is no longer as concerned with getting Kerry elected. I think many will be surprised at how well of America truely is and how well […]

It’s obvious even to me that Kerry just isn’t as “cute” as Clinton or Bush for that matter. And that does appear to be a deciding factor among women voters, actually the edge that carried Clinton into off twice over Bush Sr. and Dole (go figure).
Fortunately for the Nation Bush is “cuter”, Laura is […]

I was wrong that the most contentious part of the debate that the media would waste space on was tthe thing about when Cheney met Edwards. No it was much worse. Cheney accidently sent surfers to wrong wite. It’s FactCheck.org not FactCheck.com which George Soro’s quickly ran out an registered.
The mainstream press would have […]

They’re pushing the DVD over at Overstock.com and you can view the trailer in Quicktime/MPEG4 or Window Media Video.
Frankly Fahrenhiet 911 has been so thoroughly debunked I’m surprised the FEC hasn’t deemed it a movie length campaign ad for Kerry-Edwards. I wonder if that’s one of the provisions of McCain-Fiengold they’re suing to have enforced, […]

She gets to a chat she had with her boss on her least favorite vice presidential candidate, John Edwards. His voice and the way he talks simply rubs her the wrong way and her first inclination upon hearing him is to change the channel.

While I agree with little Wallace-Wells says in “Party Down” he does make some points, though wrong, that we must take note of. A lot of it is spun perceptions from one party to another but his overall thesis that the centrist Republicans are off track from the American mainstream isn’t wrong, just not as […]

Just have to pick a pattern.

As I delete yet another piece of spam touting a sure-fire method of preventing those pesky speed cameras from getting a picture of your license plate I remembered something that occured to this evening on the way home.
The new Indiana license plates are flat, completely flat. The letters/numbers are not raised as for […]

Hokey though it was I loved this movie but I don’t think I could handle it as a musical. It just wouldn’t be the same without Robert Preston anyway.
