I've decided to take an indefinite hiatus from blogging. I feel like I've complained enough and my falling numbers seem to confirm this. I think it's time for me take follow my wife's advice and put my money where my mouth is. So, I intend to get more involved with local activism in my area, and possibly start a group of my own. If anyone has done this, I would appreciate some advice, so drop me

Outside of Massachusetts, this is nuance. There can only be peace when they will start to love their children more than they hate us. Golda Meir I had an unusual and revealing conversation with a friend back during the days of my horribly misspent youth. It was at the beginning of some momentous Republican shaking and moving, probably the election or Reagan in 1980 or the Gingrich Revolution

The Left running the show. Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without a government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.

Has anyone else besides me realized the painful fact that the minimum wage raise will make illegal labor an ever better bargain? Just wondering.

So, I hear on the radio this morning that Muslims have issued a list of demands to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Primarily a demand for a separate prayer room exclusively for them. Sigh. I'm going to take my own advice here and embrace my inner bastard. I really hate it when my fellow citizens force me to belabor the obvious. On the other hand traditional inculcation does have its uses. The

Once again my fellow citizens are standing on stools in the kitchen shrieking about a mouse when there are the proverbial 800-pound gorilla wrecking furniture in the living room. The "Keith Ellison using the Koran" issue has the politicos and talking heads buzzing about the symptoms and not the disease. My fellow citizens, Left, Right, and Center, are fighting desperately not to realize what the

A Reuters story reports that due to Global Warming sea levels could rise 4 and 1/2 feet by the year 2100. They also say this is much worse than expected. Let's put this is perspective. A quick calculation show that when averaged out, the disaster will be occurring at slightly over a half inch per year. This is their worst case scenario. This will not be the end of civilization, even if true, and

I heard on the radio just now that Maureen Dowd came out against Obama Barack's ears. It wasn't what I expected, but I'll take it because it's nice to have an attractive woman verify what I've said. Barack Obama is butt ugly. If you've ever wondered what bullied kids in school do for lunch after the bullies beat them up and take their lunch money, they beat up people that look like Obama and take

Here he comes to save the day! Who? Who the hell knows? Hell! Who the hell cares? Couldn't you just kiss him? Excuse me while I vomit. We know almost nothing about this guy, which is probably the crux of the Democrats '08 strategy. This guy came from out of nowhere and was hailed as the "New Messiah". I regret to inform younger folks still green in memory that we've been down this road before.

Mahmoud takes the scenic route. I've been putting my money where my mouth is regarding learning about our enemies. Let me tell you, it's torture. I'm currently reading Raphael Patai's "The Arab Mind". After a good start I'm starting to bog down. Studying a culture that intertwines their religion with absolutely everything can get rather tedious. It's a lot like having a conversation with someone

I just received yet another e-mail from my ex-wife. Our communications consist almost exclusively of demands for money despite the fact that she make 3 times as much money as I do and the child support is deducted automatically from my check. But that isn't what bugs me the most. What really annoys me is the annoying habit of ending her e-mails with a bible quote to "motivate me". I've decided to

I feel obligated to weigh in on this ridiculous Michael Richards tirade issue. First, I'm not a fan. I'm one of the three people in the country who thought the Seinfeld show sucked from first day to last. This was stressful for me because everybody in the country was a Seinfeld fanatic. Some of the characters were funny, but the show never was. Kramer was my least favorite, probably because from

I'm a big fan of the History Channel but they've been running an add lately that makes me grind my teeth into powder. The commercial features a little boy giving a Thanksgiving Day presentation. He states that the Mayflower ran into bad weather then moves seamlessly into "we" stole the Indians food and robbed their graves. At this point the ever cheerful announcer gives the title as something

I find it odd that all of the pseudo-enlightened people, including those who just were swept into power, keep reacting with a collective yawn about Iran's rush toward nuclear weapons. Obviously, the threat and promise to destroy Israel in a campaign of nuclear genocide leaves all true-believing Leftists unmoved. This all begs the question, have they given any consideration to what is #2 on

You must sacrifice all for the volk! It occurred me today that I haven't done a spoof piece or a song parody in a long time. Which is strange because those have been the most popular things I've done. So, with that in mind I submit the following salute to the new Democratic majority in Congress. It's to the tune of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town". The Dems Are Back In Town Guess who

I recently read an article about pornography on the Internet. I, like many people I imagine, found it very interesting that 4 of the 5 nations that download the most pornography are Muslim nations. Not surprising, just interesting. As I recall that Wahabbischizoid country we're so friendly with showed up. So I propose that we take our revenge on the OPEC world for the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo (

Looks like at least two of our predictions are already coming true for the post-election debacle. First, terrorists around the world are so giddy they can't wipe the smiles off of their faces. Many are taking credit for it in fact. Second, the threats are already escalating. Now, they've promised to blow up the White House itself and I fear that with the new politically reality in the US this is

Constructionist Justices Go Back To Ideological Purgatory *** Nancy Pelosi Introduces Real Americans To The Swing Voter I've spent the better part of the last 2 days listening to gloating Democrats promise to take American in "A New Direction".

In the beginning... This post is a eulogy of sorts. The particular persons eulogized are not dead, but in many ways they are dead to me. These three individuals are the guys who make up the rock band Rush. I discovered them in 1976 when I was 16-years old and at a critical point in my life. Their music, more especially the brilliant lyrics and most especially the content of the lyrics, held

Much like 9/11 taught the world all it needed to know about Islam (that being what the Israelis knew already), this article should teach you everything you need to know about the Democratic party (that being what every person who didn't fry their brains in the 1960s knew already).

Another "God I feel old" moment. I recently went to my first concert in ages. Every thing seemed perfectly normal until time for the traditional "lighter salute". Instead of a sea of butane lighters like God intended, the crowd held up thousands of cellphones with their displays lit up. I don't know how long this has been going on but it just seemed wrong somehow.

“The Republican outreach effort to African-Americans was always more about moderating the party’s image with white women than winning black votes.” —Eleanor Clift Can anybody out there follow this line of reasoning? I don't find this statement particularly cogent, or even vaguely comprehensible, even for Eleanor Clift.
