Considered in the history books I read in school, not very successful. He was a member of the War Union Party. Johnson served from 1865-1869. Facing an oppositional legislature, Johnson was impeached [...]

No, I did not forget. Letting things sink in. Sometimes I remember the old phrase, “haste makes waste.” Which is why one outlines before composing a long work of importance.

Almost an Ode to a sheeple Ode to a sheeple so lame and weak,very committed to being mild and meek, Standing your ground is just too much,thinking of both sides as this and such, Often in the back, just being ignored,with reality you’re just plain bored, Rarely intense, a softy and plushy toy freak,honesty and [...]

When I awoke this morning the moon was on the frozen white surface. By light coming in the windows, seemed almost daylight, but was 5 am. Life in the country is amazing. While I lived in major cities for employment, I can never imagine living there willingly. Granted there are many things to do and [...]

A few days ago I joined SodaHead, a mostly poll based community. One thing struck me immediately, the amount of open hostility toward Obama. My attacks are usually sarcastic attempts at humor, with an occasional outright frontal attack. The SodaHeads pull no punches, calling him everything from a con man and closet Muslim to the [...]

A few days ago I stumbled across SodaHead. It is the most lively blogging community I have found to date. And surprisingly to me, many hard core conservatives venting there. If ask, I would say the “blogosphere” is dominated by young liberals. While we are at it, can we blame the young for being liberal? [...]

What are you wearing today? I am in my normal, jeans, tee, long sleeve polo, and vest. Yes, the layered plan. By noon, the vest comes off. On good days, I am in a tee. Bright sun this morning, so maybe a full day of sun will completely warm up the house and the fire [...]

For those of us less well educated that means Hara-kiri or suicide. Yes, I had to look it up on Google, too. Seppuku– the Japanese word for ritual suicide, literally means stomach cutting, so it says. What a gruesome topic for a Saturday morning. Well, I think the state of politics is very gruesome and [...]
