As some of you know, I started out in life with relatively little . It’s one of the reasons I don’t tend to be the most sympathetic person towards people who spend their entire lives being poor. Americans who are chronically poor, in most cases, can look at their own poor choices as being why they’re in the state they’re in. The remaining are people who are physically more mentally disabled and those people I have endless compassion for. Being wealthy doesn’t mean you’re ...
There are a lot of things I rant about to my poor wife– CO2 claptrap, illegal immigration, political correctness, the failure of our schools, the insouciance of government, societal disintegration generally. I see cowardice everywhere. The case of our friend, Mark Steyn leaps to mind. When we have governmental tribunals to silence citizens –and non citizens alike!– (as in Canada and in Europe) totalitarianism is not far away. I am astonished that I see only shrugs over the possibility of International tribunals holding sway over Americans. I observe how clever liberals are at labeling people and then getting laws passed to silence their branded enemies. Yes, now they are truly Enemies of the State. Conservatives must continue to sound the alarm. Indeed, they must become more vocal. They cannot allow the high ground to be taken if they want to recognize their country in only a few decades hence.

Interesting article here: http://www.melissaclouthier.com/2009/03/04/going-john-galt-stop/ Definitely worth reading. So my taxes are going to go up. Way up. But don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. The middle class, however, won’t be so fine. Part of the problem with our society is that deep down, we know some basic truths about it but it has been made impolitic to speak about these truths. So here are some of the unspoken truths that most people already know. #...
FIRSTS 1. Who was your FIRST prom date? Lori Wlodyka, 12th grade. 2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? I sure do, every day (Sherry). 3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? A glass of wine I think. 4. What was your FIRST job? I took out people’s trash to the dumpster for 10 cents a bag when I was little. Then I did babysitting, then I worked at an excavating company. 5. What was your FIRST car? A 1984 Che...
It’s well known I wasn’t a Bush fan. I may have more in common with Bush on ideology but in terms of his personality, I am glad he’s gone. I think Bush is a good man, I just don’t think he was well suited to be President. Obama, on the other hand, is very well suited to be President. He has far more empathy. Pundits don’t realize how much credibility Obama gets from people when he admits mistakes. The big bummer with Obama, of course, is that he doesn’t understand economics...

Read this open letter from the Heritage Foundation to President Obama. http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed021309a.cfm
When I write political blogs, I make it my business to be harsh about the poor and down trodden. If I seem like I don’t have a lot of compassion, that is probably because I don’t have a lot of compassion. I don’t really like humans in general. I like individuals, however, a lot. Maybe I’m just the end product of the secular agenda. Humans are merely another large mammal that is barely self aware is driven mostly on instincts. Where instincts don’t fill in the gap, most humans are just a bun...
For years, I’ve had a serious problem with air travel. I’d get severe vertigo when I’d travel. I’ve tried everything from Ginger to patches to decongestants. But at long last, I’ve found something that helps: Aspirin. Take 2 before the flight and the anti-inflammatory effect seems to keep the vertigo from happening. W00t.
Awhile back we put in a feature that only rarely gets used and never on JU before. It’s called Destroy Account. What happens is the system goes and wipes out every post, every comment that user has ever made on all our sites. I got to use it today on LW. I had exiled her for comparing a tax cut to corporate welfare and then as being the same as the welfare that the Octuplet mom receives for her 14 children. I’ve said this in the past but occasionally needs to be repeated – there ...
