Constitution Day

Today is Constitution Day.  Why not take a moment to re-familiarize yourself with it? We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do [...]

Dagny confronts the union

The previews are here, the previews are here!  Or one, at least.  I feel so teased.

A thought on cults

A show on NatGeo TV about cults caught my attention today. I find it somewhat amazing, but mostly disgusting that some people are so willing to give up their minds, their will, and their lives to follow a charismatic* asshole with a messiah complex.  It’s even more unbelievable in this modern day of free flowing [...]

Sarkozy on multiculturalism

This is a great quote.  Why can’t we find U.S. Politicians who will speak so clearly about the problems of mass, uncontrolled immigration? “We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him,” Sarkozy said in the TFI [...]

Setting the tone

Talk show hosts have nothing in the influence game when compared to the radical left. Since literally moments after the shooting in Tucson last week, the leftists have been screaming against all logic that the senseless violence committed by Jared Loughner was caused by angry political rhetoric.  Of course, it wasn’t, but that hasn’t stopped [...]

First Lunar Eclipse on Winter Solstice in how many years?

Oh yeah, I was out there.  Once again wishing I had a better camera [...]

Black Friday

Did the 5am thing at the MCX. Was after a $250 32″ tv… found out in line it was marked down to $200.  Score!

Well, my cats chase geckos

Nines

Nice.  Had a “Reservoir Dogs” feel to it.

Welcome to the new world order

Think the conspiracy theorists are completely out of touch?  Not on this one. Court allows countries to join challenge to Arizona Law In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to [...]

Google Voice

Occasionally I get yelled at for being inaccessible.  I don’t understand it, but… anyway, I finally got my Google Voice account set up, and cleverly added a “direct to voicemail” button at the bottom of my “About” page.  Click the “call me” widget, insert your name and phone number; the service will call you and [...]

Nine years. I still can’t watch this without getting a lump in the pit of my stomach. Never forget.

Disrespecting the Flag, Walmart Style

Today I was in the Walmart store at 561 Yopp Road, Jacksonville, NC and walked past this display.  I was dumbfounded. I spotted store manager “Dave” walking by and asked him if he was aware of this display, and if he knew that it was disrespectful of the United States Flag.  He looked at it, [...]
