Rocky Balboa
“No matter what, you can overcome your past,” he said. “With help, if you look to God, you can overcome your past and be reborn.” I learn something new every day. Did you know Sylvester Stallone is a born-again Christian?

I’m boycotting “Winter Holiday” again. If you want to celebrate some sort of pagan winter thingy, you just go right ahead. But if a retailer can’t acknowledge that I’m celebrating Christmas, then I’m not going to shop there. I did this last year, too. Some changes from last year, though – Wal-Mart firmly has the [...]

I’m still around. Just a lot of business travel and then a vacation and then more business travel. I tell people I’m going to France again and they think it’s swell, but all I see is the inside of a French conference room. It looks a lot like an American conference room but with croissants. [...]

I can’t say I’m surprised. A new study shows that conservatives give more than liberals in every way possible – more money, more time, more giving blood, etc. In the book, he [Arthur C. Brooks] cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives — from church attendance and two-parent families to the [...]

Mr. Leopard, you sit there by piglet, and If you would be so kind Mr. Hyena, please sit next to little Roo there, that’s right. My, aren’t we friendly together? Would you like some scones, Pooh? Now Pooh, please take your head out of Mr. Hyena’s mouth, that’s not sanitary. I’m sorry, Leopard, Allah Akba-who? [...]

Hillary is thinking big again. I thought she learned her lesson last time: She also said Democrats would focus on improving the quality and affordability of health care _ a touchy matter for the former first lady, who in 1993 led her husband’s calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation’s health care system. The failure of [...]

From Drudge: Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely — because he believes it promotes hatred of gays. Speaking to the Observer Music Monthly Magazine the singer said religion lacked compassion and turned people into “hateful lemmings”. The PRESS ASSOCIATION reports: In a candid interview for a dedicated Gay issue of the magazine he shared [...]

While I expected the Democrats to make inroads, I’m shocked at how big they are. The Democrats didn’t have any real coherent position except “We’re against everything Bush.” It worked with the help of media – I saw one survey this week that said only 12% of news stories last week were favorable to Republicans. [...]

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Do you recognize those words? The Little Engine That Could, carrying a trainload of toys over the mountain. The load was so heavy and the journey was so long, the Little Engine was ready to give up. Defeated. I can’t do this, the [...]

More bad news from the schoolyard bullies. It seems that you may live (briefly) to see the nuclear powers of the caliphate turned loose upon the world. More here. What’s the best way to deal with bullies? (sigh)…….Perhaps Israel will save us. Some link this new nuclear drive from muslim states to the apparent inaction [...]
