Who is better suited to rule a country? Who is better for the country? And are the choices oppositional? What a heavy way to start the day, but I think it’s worth asking? What are the options? In my opinion, Military class would head the list in much of recent Asian history. Europe and the [...]
If you read yesterday, you know it was 54 degrees, I sat in the sun and had my coffee. Then the front came in. There is snow on the ground now and it was 9 degrees fahrenheit this morning. Tomorrow we have a Winter Storm Watch. Is this like the perfect storm mirror image of [...]
The following was sent to Laura Ingraham. You can check her out at http://www.lauraingraham.com/ Good morning, Laura, What appears to be the inevitable McCain nomination has spurred me to write. I believe it is time for conservatives to make a stand. In my opinion, the future of democracy in the U.S. is in play. Rather [...]
This was emailed to Rush Limbaugh this morning. Good morning, Rush, What appears to be the inevitable McCain nomination has spurred me to write. I believe it is time for conservatives to make a stand. In my opinion, the future of democracy in the U.S. is in play. Rather than rehash that, I have a [...]
Grab something to drink and settle in. This is a long one.In scenario one I covered the possibilities of global warming or global cooling. One could add to the mix a wide array of not so normal events ranging from asteroids to aliens. Those should all be lumped into scenario one as far as survival [...]
Listening to Robert Preston sing Ya Got Trouble (in River City). Quite amusing hearing the cues to the demise of a young man in those days. Think I fit many of the trouble signs in my youth.Dick Morris sends me his newsletter. He is amusing at the very least and very perceptive in his brighter [...]
So much for sitting on the porch. About 20 minutes in, a front moved in. The temperature dropped as the wind picked up. Now 37 degrees, cloudy with strong winds maybe 20-30 mph gusts. At least we had some moments in the sun. Isn’t that all we can ask for in life? To wish to [...]
Today is a critical day in the history of the U.S. That is a very bold statement, I agree. BUT, if McCain wins things change dramatically and who can predict what that will be– war or peace. His domestic agenda might bankrupt the country before he leaves office.If Romney wins it will be four more [...]
Two programs on the History Channel yesterday– the first about when the oil runs out, the second ‘Crude’ seemed the history of oil and results of it running out also. Neither program was uplifting, but then apacolyptic programs never are.Program one touched on a cycle of the earth in which greenhouse gases accumulate to a [...]
I have been listening to some of the old country songs. George Jones, Buck Owens, Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard, all made it big in the 60′s and 70′s. Their roots come from much farther back. Found a song which I do not remember ‘Old Violin’ by Johnny Paycheck. I suggest you look for the original [...]
While some of you may not like Google, I find them to be indispensable. They have a terrific search engine, offer a simple chat program, have an excellent IRC, ChatZilla, provide a great home page which is customizable to include the sites of interest, and the coup de grace– google reader.In case you have not [...]
This video was sent to me by a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Remember the clips from Top Gun? Well this would have been a show stopper in that one too. Was a bit disappointed by the comments about the guy, and the military. If you read about it, he did it for charity. His mother [...]
This video was posted on a site I belong to. When I saw it I was shocked by several things.1. This guy is really good and he is making for free Google videos? He must have had some gymnastic training in his past. If he is not good enough to make the team, think how [...]
