Mechanical Investing for February 2006

Posted on January 30, 2006. Filed under: Finances | Tags: , , , |

January started with a bang, and I’m pleased with the stock selections Except for CAL; I even flew Continental to France this month and it didn’t do a thing for the stock price. Also, apparently I showed that all the stocks I bought I paid $0.00. Free stocks! No really, I’ve corrected the list this [...]

Dropdown Blogroll List

Posted on January 28, 2006. Filed under: The Blog | Tags: , |

This is for the webgeeks out there, not for the regular visitors. Based on a suggestion by Podz, I’ve changed the way the Blogroll is displayed. Blogrolling by default gives you a long listing of all the blogs, but that’s gotten way too cumbersome. I wanted some sort of collapsible, dropdown menu. There are currently [...]

Parking Lot Angst

Posted on January 27, 2006. Filed under: Stories | Tags: , , , , |

Preface: obviously, it’s a slow news day. I haven’t actually spent a lot of time thinking about this, but it beats that news item about Splash, the Amazing Swimming Dog That Can Do Things Mary Jo Can’t. For those inclined to commiserate, instruct, condemn, console, well, here’s your chance to do all of that. I [...]

Splash!

Something odd I found this morning: Ted Kennedy’s dog is named “Splash.” (Fourth paragraph from bottom.) No comment. Not from me, not from Mary Jo Kopechne.

"Lost Liberty" Hotel One Step Closer

Posted on January 26, 2006. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , |

I wrote about this last year after that dreadful Supreme Court Kelo decision – that the government can confiscate private property if it can be shown taxes can be increased. Increased taxes historically haven’t been considered part of the “public use” definition in the Constitution. Churches in particular have been worried since they’re tax exempt. [...]

"Book of Daniel" Cancelled

Posted on January 26, 2006. Filed under: Faith, Movies and TV | Tags: , , , , |

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Axed because of low ratings, high criticism, and advertisers withdrawing ads. When the people most upset about the cancellation are gays and lesbians, then there’s little mystery why conservative Christians were offended. I have an idea: why not produce a Christian series that portrays Christians in a positive light? Say, [...]

American Values Awards for Movies and Television

Posted on January 24, 2006. Filed under: Movies and TV | Tags: , , , , , |

Apparently I’m not the only person irritated by the Oscars this year, dominated by sexual immorality and politically controversial left wing movies. Michael Class has started a new awards program, American Values Awards for Movies and Television, to reward those movies that are more family friendly. LOS ANGELES (AFP) – A conservative US filmmaker, angered [...]
