Recently had the opportunity to converse with a Soldier of God! He was down from the Colorado Springs, Colorado, official headquarters for a few days with some other Soldiers of the Deity looking for new candidates. Fortunately, my college attendance has let to interesting discussions with Holy Hubert, Brother Jed, Sister Disco Cindy and a myriad of others trying
Millions of American children are green with envy over President Bush's method of handling mistakes when caught. They watch him closely and imitate his style of passing the responsibility off, blame the opposing ideology or the press. Its that easy and then if a problem arises, simply attack the Fourth Estate for stating it regardless-accuse of vileness, a lack of
Scott McClellan, White House press secretary, learned a very valuable lesson recently>he press honeymoon is over. Mr. McClellan was challenged numerous times while attempting to drive the final nail into Newsweek's coffin and probably wished Jeff Gannon were still there lobbing softball questions. Alas and alack, he couldn't come up with believable answers to
Inevitably, the unavoidable and equally unpleasant task(s) of admitting error happens during our life. Doing so, according to my upbringing, contributes to wisdom and cleanses the conscience. There are others, however, who equate mistake admission as lessening manliness and is to be avoided at all costs. Paraphrasing Richard Nixon, former president, who once stated t
I have come to admit several bloggers who put out an excellent product: Kos, The Rude Pundit, and many more. I am learning as I go along and do a lot of reading to improve the quality of this production. That is, technical reading as opposed to my normal bibliophilic tendencies to go through everything my hands are placed on. Here's a listing of books being
Dr. Guy, I think a great deal, but believe that agreeing to disagree is a fine avenue to pursue' Don't you? The essence of our society's survival since inception has been dialogue and dissent; without it we would become what we rail against the most. Agree to disagree... has a nice ring to it.....Best Wishes and Thanks for the jostle..
Thanks, Manopeace.....priceless comment!!!! Best to you, Kingbee and gracias
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician
Satire With A Special Touch A Cessna penetrated the Washington D.C. flight zone causing great concern while simultaneously displaying flaws in the emergency reaction plan. It was found not everyone was evacuated (ironically, all Democrats except Sen. Lieberman), few knew how decisions were made or who made them and who shoots down what
MISMASH Sitting at the table watching Dune and wondering if Washington D.C. needs a larger portion of spice. Read an article that 10 bases on the prior military closing list rated most toxic polluted status. Well, that stands to reason since a great amount of coffee were dumped during all those necessary breaks. EPA states it doesn't have
Your computer is a living breathing organism which has brough much joy and also frustration into your life. You must treat your beastie as a member of the family with supportive talk, occasional compliments, stroking, assurance it will always remain in your place and immaculate cleaning inside and out. Now, the first step in approaching your computer is to asce
First of all, thanks for responding to my writing. Interestingly enough, I am neither right nor left; strictly an independent in thought and action. Secondly, I believe one should state their bias as a preface to their writing. Absolving President Bush of any hint of scandal is certainly not exactly an objective statement since his administration has been bogged down with scandal ranging from outing a CIA operative, the Iraq war
Now, one of the good, kind decent Post Office folk has asked me to say a few words on their behalf. Seem some of you'uns have been gettin" persnickedy about the system's effluency. Will, I'm here to prove yer plumb wrong!!! First of all, they deliver mail the best they can. We mountain Folk don't get a lot of mail, but when Clem Flyfaster shows up every
I was a child during the 1950s, but vividly remember the Army-McCarthy televised hearings. The black and white only telecast added to the drama already unfolding on the small screen. Let me briefly recap for those of you who don't recall this not so glorious period in American history. The post-WWII period was one of great anticipation, readjustment and then
The street light blinked intermittently as I approached the corner. All I wanted was catch a bus, go home, eat something and maybe watch some old cowboy movie on the tube. My focus was interrupted by a dog standing there; not just a dog, but a white poodle wearing a black beret with some type of flash on the front resembling a paw. He looked at me as I stood a fe
Once upon a time there was a great King who beleived in each of his people and spent much time working with them to find their greatest potential. He spent many years helping the common folk and was very proud of a yearly surplus of money to assist anyone in the kingdom. This King was loved by all and he proudly loved each of his pople back in many different ways.<BR
PAT ROBERTSON FOUND GOD IN 1951 As many of you have probably heard, Pat Robertson has compared the judge's judicial activism to the same actions as El Quaeda. It ironic to hear Pat say this since he has so many skeletons in his closet as well. Pat was a first lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps serving in Japan in 1950. All was going well un
There is a beginning as with everything else and this is it. The past few years have taught me beginning and end are often confused with initiation and conclusion; creation and demise; or Abbott and Costello. If that makes sense to you, please contact and explain the significance for me to pass it on to someone else. This blog will convey my ramblings u
