There are people who are born-again Christians who voted for John Kerry two weeks ago. Whatever the reasons for voting for Kerry, it seems moderately masochistic with the way the elite of the Democratic Party demean and bad-mouth them. The latest case in point is Mr. Lake Wobegon himself, Garrison Keillor. Not one to shy […]
The ACLU is at it again, doing what it can to protect the American people, here and abroad, from organizations that *gasp* require a belief in God. The Pentagon has agreed to warn military bases worldwide that they should not directly sponsor Boy Scout troops, partially resolving claims that the government has improperly supported a […]
I'm working on a redesign of Hoystory.com and thought I'd solicit some assistance. I've created logos and a sample layout -- but I don't know enough about CSS to pull it off. If anyone would like to donate their expertise, it would be much appreciated. You, of course, would get effusive praise and a prominent […]
I love it when I have surreal conversations with technical support people. My Cox Cable DVR box has reset itself three times in the past 1 1/2 hours. When it does this, I'm without the boob tube for anywhere from 5-10 minutes. So, out of 90 minutes, the box is rebooting from anywhere from 15 […]
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds, an "abortion rights supporter" in journalism parlance, has an interesting post on abortion and the "duty to rescue." In layman's terms, it's the concept that being a good Samaritan cannot be required of someone. I'm not going to address Glenn's position on abortion -- it's well-thought out and I'm not going to […]
On Wednesday night, CBS News broke into "CSI: N.Y." to report the death of Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat -- angering viewers who didn't get to see the show's exciting conculsion! With just a few minutes to go before the 11 p.m. local newscast, this was a bad call. A crawl along the bottom of the […]
I'm glad that the verdict in the Scott Peterson case came in today -- guilty -- but not because I've been one of those people breathlessly following the case. This will quash the fawning coverage of Yasser Arafat's burial.
Three years ago today, I started this blog and it's been a blast. I've been privileged to converse with some wonderful people over the years, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I'm still waiting for someone to hire me as a columnist, so if you happen to own a features syndicate, newspaper, magazine […]
When the American people narrowly elected Jimmy Carter president in 1976, his victory was attributed to widespread outrage at the illegal behavior of former President Richard Nixon. Carter was seen as an honest man -- and that was what mattered. After four years of malaise and general incompetence, he was turned out of office. He […]
I've said it many times, but I don't spend a lot of time visiting the innumerable lefty blog sites. I find enough to get annoyed by and blog about from just reading the mainstream media. Also, that time can be much better spent blasting covenant aliens. Other bloggers are far more intrepid than I, specifically […]
