Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue

Posted on August 25, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , |

The Swift Boat advertisements must have hit a sore spot. John Kerry is sending two aides today to George Bush’s hometown to press Bush into condemning the ads. Those ads must be hurting Kerry, both politically and personally. I’m starting to suspect John Kerry is not only a liar, but incredibly inept as well. To [...]

My Spare Time is Gonna Kill Me

Posted on August 24, 2004. Filed under: Family, Stories | Tags: , , |

Dang it’s quiet here without the noisy pitter patter of… huge teenage shoes. I’m going to have to fill this time with something worthwhile or I’ll go bonkers. And I am *not* bonkers yet, wiseguy. I’m back at the gym for the first time in years. I really had no excuse, other than I’d rather [...]

Open Carefully

Posted on August 24, 2004. Filed under: Stories | Tags: |

On the second floor of my office, I found a Dasani vending machine. It dispenses bottled water. On the front is a big sign that says, “OPEN BOTTLE CAREFULLY.” That’s important safety information for consumers. Are you aware of how dangerous that liquid is? If one part oxygen, a highly flammable gas, isn’t enough, it [...]

Looking for an Honest Candidate

Posted on August 24, 2004. Filed under: Iraq War, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

One of the cries from the left is that George Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, then took us into war with Iraq. That’s the foundation of the “Anybody But Bush” movement. Michael Moore’s movie is based on this premise that Bush lied. I find it funny that these are the same people who [...]

Zipper Troubles

Posted on August 24, 2004. Filed under: Stories | Tags: , |

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been startled to find my zipper is down at work. I’ll notice it 30 minutes after a visit to the restroom and wonder if anybody else noticed it. This morning after arriving to work, I went to the cafeteria to get a quick breakfast. After finishing, I stood [...]

Twas the Night After College

Posted on August 23, 2004. Filed under: Family | Tags: , , , , |

They come back, don’t they? My son and I left early for Sam Houston State. There were lots of errands to do; old dad was huffin’ and puffin’ emptying both cars. College teens were whistling while carrying 200 lb trunks on their shoulders; I’m dragging a suitcase. With wheels. Then a trip over to the [...]

Twas the Night Before College

Posted on August 22, 2004. Filed under: Family | Tags: , , |

I took my son out to his grandmother’s for brunch this morning; sort of a send-off for him as he heads off o college for the first time. He’s sort of getting organized, but not very quickly. I’m starting to wonder if he’s going to finish packing today. We leave at 7:00am in two cars [...]

He Thought It Was Funny When Michael Moore Did It

Posted on August 20, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , |

When you bring a trial lawyer on board as your vice presidential candidate, what’s the best way to stifle free speech? THAT’S RIGHT!!! SUE THE HECK OUT OF THEM!!! FORT MYERS, Fla. (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry asked the Federal Election Commission on Friday to force Republican critics to withdraw ads challenging his [...]

Ambush Journalism

Posted on August 20, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , |

Michelle Malkin was invited on Chris Matthews’ “Hardball” to discuss her book, but was instead questioned about the book, “Unfit for Command.” She has the transcript, and she’s a little peeved she never got to talk about *her* book. She has the full transcript on her site. To me, it doesn’t appear they really ever [...]

Bug Squishing

Posted on August 19, 2004. Filed under: Technical |

There’s a problem. I know it. I’ve called Pest Control to track down the bug, but the bug won’t show itself when Pest Control (the WordPress experts) come visit. Formatting completely disappears. The address bar gets filled with a very long web address. Trying to post a comment redirects you to a login page. I [...]
