Many of the so called great men are not my list and in fact I see many flaws in their lives that should keep them from being considered great. No one has the definitive outline for greatness. Like beauty it is in the eye of the beholder. Greatness like beauty has a timeline. What’s great [...]
Let’s make a list of things the legislature should be working on–1. Domestic policy2. Foreign policy3. Education4. Immigration Feel free to add yours to the list. You might notice Iraq is not listed. My belief is that the administration is responsible for International policy. Congress has oversight. Regardless of the responsibility, the legislature has enough [...]
The last President of the U.S. outside of the current two party system was Andrew Johnson. Yes, president number seventeen, who followed Lincoln. 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 [...]
Here is a dissection of my fleshed out proposals for Security: I. SecurityA. Individual Securityi. Right to bear armsNo brainer here, the current interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, gives us the right to own guns One of the fears of the founding fathers was the eventual return of monarchy. There was actually a group which [...]
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. Here is an outline for beginning the process of reclaiming our representation at the local level. My main issue is Security, because without safety one [...]
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 [...]
“Hello, I am Jim, and I am an Obama Holic. It’s been two days since I believed anything Obama said, thanks to the Force, Luke Skywalker and especially Obi Wan. And of course all of you, thanks.”(Waves and Walks off the stage)“Thanks, Jim, Keep coming back.” The crowd responds.“Hello, I am Sue and I am [...]
In philosophy, essence, is the attribute (or set of attributes) that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, … Thanks to Google Wikipedia for that.What are the attributes of plagiarism? For me, attributes mean assets. I realize that attributes can also be negative but it is a euphemistic word in my vocabulary.Back to [...]
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 [...]
You ever wake up and say, “this sucks,” and go back to bed?Didn’t, but wanted to. No reason exists for me to get up, I am retired. Other than I feel guilty staying in bed. Today, I planned to blog, do some minor chores and chill a bit. Then it hit me when I opened [...]

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 [...]
