Jay Tea at Wizbang makes some interesting observations this morning. He hasn't taken sides on the Teri Schiavo case, but he is pointing out that if you decide on a course of action, then you should do it with the courage of your convictions. Letting Terri die by starvation is cowardly. In the Terri Schiavo … Continue reading Euthanasia versus Neglect

No laughing. This time I mean it.
Culture of Life
One of the longest and largest threads here on Chasing the Wind is the post I made about Terri Schiavo. It's attracted many, many visitors posting for the first time. I suspect it's because I originally misspelled her name as Terry Schiavo until some left-wing loonie made a snide comment that right wing people can't … Continue reading Culture of Life
Kofi Annan Gets Tough
Kofi Annan wants to make the following changes at the United Nations: UNITED NATIONS, March 19 -- Secretary General Kofi Annan on Monday will propose establishing new rules for the use of military force, adopting a tough anti-terrorism treaty that would punish suicide bombers, and overhauling the United Nation's discredited human rights commission, according to … Continue reading Kofi Annan Gets Tough
Restricting Senate Filibusters
NY Times, January 1, 1995 NY Times, March 6, 2005 In the last session of Congress, the Republican minority invoked an endless string of filibusters to frustrate the will of the majority. This relentless abuse of a time-honored Senate tradition so disgusted Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, that he is now willing to … Continue reading Restricting Senate Filibusters
Brian Nichols, Before and After
Brian Nichols, the man who murdered 4 people last Friday before taking Ashley Smith hostage in her home, is shown on the left. That's his angy looking police mug shot. After spending seven hours with Ashley on Friday while she shared her faith with him, the picture on the right is from Saturday after he … Continue reading Brian Nichols, Before and After
Scented Bowling Balls
When pressed about the toughest problems to solve in the world - the Israeli / Palestinian crisis, escalation of property taxes, paper or plastic, obviously ranked right up there is... what should your bowling ball smell like? The current scents available are black cherry, chocolate, lemonade, plum, blueberry, grape, banana, cinnamon, orange, amaretto and cherry. … Continue reading Scented Bowling Balls
Brave Woman of God
I am quite impressed with Ashley Smith. A violent man in an Atlanta courthouse for his rape trial Friday morning took a deputy's gun, killed the judge and three others, then fled. He found Ashley coming back from the grocery store and took her hostage inside her own apartment. ATLANTA - For hours, Ashley Smith … Continue reading Brave Woman of God
The Convergence of Science and Religion
In 1966, Charles Hard Townes published "The Convergence of Science and Religion" about his thoughts on the relationship between religion and science. "They are much more similar than people generally accept," Townes says. "Science has faith. We make postulates. We can't prove those postulates, but we have faith in them." Earlier this week, Charles Hard … Continue reading The Convergence of Science and Religion
Radical Heteronormative People
Ben Shapiro declares himself to be a radical heteronormative person: Last week, actress Jada Pinkett Smith won an award from the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations. During her acceptance speech, she told women in the audience, "you can have it all -- a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career … … Continue reading Radical Heteronormative People
Rolling Stone on MoveOn.org
Rolling Stone points out the MoveOn.org's far left agenda hurts the Democrats more than it helps: They signed up 500,000 supporters with an Internet petition -- but Bill Clinton still got impeached. They organized 6,000 candlelight vigils worldwide -- but the U.S. still invaded Iraq. They raised $60 million from 500,000 donors to air countless … Continue reading Rolling Stone on MoveOn.org
Atheism in Decline Worldwide
God not so dead: Atheism in decline worldwide Excepts: Gurat, France – There seems to be a growing consensus around the globe that godlessness is in trouble. "Atheism as a theoretical position is in decline worldwide," Munich theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg told United Press International Tuesday. [...] Two developments are plaguing atheism these days. One is … Continue reading Atheism in Decline Worldwide
Another Hillary Conspiracy Theory
The cynic in me suspects this is an attempt to get Americans used to having a female President in an attempt to add support to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid. Geena Davis Elected to ABC's White House Drama LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Oscar winner Geena Davis will star as the first female president of … Continue reading Another Hillary Conspiracy Theory
Death Penalty for Minors
I haven't written on this topic before; discussing the death penalty bothers me. I am not convinced that the death penalty is a substantial deterrent to others. It's a deterrent to the dead person, though. But I do want to rant a bit about the decision from the Supreme Court yesterday who found that the … Continue reading Death Penalty for Minors
Freedom is Approaching Lebanon
The Lebanese people can taste freedom. The days of Syrian occupation may be nearing an end. After the assasination of Prime Minster Rafik al-Hariri, thousands of Lebanese have taken to the streets in defiance of the Syrian curfew. Today, the Syrian-backed Lebanese government resigned en-masse. You've got to know the Lebanese people are watching the … Continue reading Freedom is Approaching Lebanon
Mechanical Investing for March 2005
All in all, a 6.1% gain for the month, happily beating the market. Would have done a lot better, too, except for ALOY. True story - I'm at the movies, I stop at the restroom.

Witnesses reported a lot of screaming: * From James Lilek's twisted sense of humor *
Friendship Over History
I'm going to applaud the decision by Doug Wead made last night; Wead admitted earlier this week that he had secretly taped Bush. He denied he was doing it for profit, and acknowledging that he may have betrayed a friendship. After pressure from fellow evangelists (not from the White House), Wead has reconsidered his position. … Continue reading Friendship Over History
Rant Against Rebates
I really dislike the rebate system that a lot of companies are using. I bought a gift this Christmas that was a little over my price range, but it came with a rebate coupon for $50. I cut the UPC symbol off the box, filled out the paperwork, and waited. Eight weeks later, I get … Continue reading Rant Against Rebates
Terri Schiavo
Early today, the 2nd District Court of Appeals cleared the way for Terri Schiavo's feeding tube to be removed. This was promptly blocked by an emergency stay by Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer until 5pm tomorrow. Much of the Christian right blogosphere which I read frequently is organizing a fight to keep Terri alive. … Continue reading Terri Schiavo
Not Interested
At lunch today, I looked for news to blog about about. I found a lot of stuff that doesn't interest me. So I'm going to blog about that. Paris Hilton.

Baby 81
Remember the "Baby 81" stories from the New York Times the last several weeks? How this baby was the 81st admitted to a Sri Lanka Hospital and 9 separate women all claimed the baby as their own, one mother claimed the baby had been washed out of her arms during the tsunami, and it took … Continue reading Baby 81
No Flu Shots For Me
I've always mistrusted the flu shot. People willing to line up by the millions to have some chemical injected into their blood stream. What if it's not a flu shot? What if it's some sort of brain-altering chemical substance that turns you into a drooling zombie? That also explains my theory on where liberals come … Continue reading No Flu Shots For Me
Stealth Tax
The Houston Chronicle did a terrible job discussing the appraisal cap issue which came up on the Texas Senate floor yesterday: Cities and counties would be the hardest hit by a lower appraisal cap because it would hamper their ability to raise revenues to pay for local services. This is absolutely false. Revenue can go … Continue reading Stealth Tax
Cookie Grinches Aftermath
The cookie grinches still don't get it. I wrote about the problems facing Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Jo Zellitti here and how a radio station came to their aid here. According to an Associated Press story, the girls will pick up a check today from Denver radio station KOA to pay their legal costs. Wanda … Continue reading Cookie Grinches Aftermath
Flying the Flag
Question for today: Why is ok to burn the American flag, but it's not ok to fly a Confederate flag? In the first case, you have to take the viewpoint of protecting free speech, then in the second case you have to take the exact opposite view.
You're in the Army Now
My son Alex (he posts here under the initials A.M.M.) is currently at Sam Houston State University studying Criminal Justice with a minor in Halo 2.

Cookie Girls Rescued
The dastardly cookie girls I wrote about last week have been rescued by a radio station: Radio station KOA-AM of Denver raised more than $1,900 from listeners Friday to pay the girls' $930.78 fine. The rest of the money will go to a charity dedicated to victims of the Columbine High School massacre. Meanwhile, Richard … Continue reading Cookie Girls Rescued
Houston's Socialist Towing Program
Houston recently mandated the "Safe Clear" towing program. It wasn't interesting enough to talk about at the time, but it gets more and more interesting. The original idea was to get motorists off the road when they break down to prevent additional accidents. You must accept the tow; you must get in the tow truck; … Continue reading Houston's Socialist Towing Program
Cookie Girls Must Be Punished!
What is this world coming to if girls think they can bake cookies for their neighbors and get away with it? Have they no shame, performing acts of kindness upon unsuspecting people? Here's an example of the "vandalism" these two girls, Taylor and Lindsey, performed upon their neighbors: The July 31 deliveries consisted of half … Continue reading Cookie Girls Must Be Punished!
What Do the Democrats Stand For?
OpinionJournal today asks, "What do the Democrats stand for?" Then proceeds to eloquently trash the heart of liberalism and what is stands for. Excellent reading today; while applauding the heart behind liberalism, once you recognize that liberalism has a cost, you next have to ask, "how much cost is too much?" And as soon as … Continue reading What Do the Democrats Stand For?
Be a Millionaire
Let's say you and your family made $75,000 a year. And you never got a raise, but you made $75,000 every year. And let's say you made these assumptions so that it would be easier for me to do the math. And instead of Social Security, you put the money into some sort of cheesy … Continue reading Be a Millionaire
Death Row Syndrome
I don't get it. A man on death row wants to die... and "experts" consider that to be a reason to overturn his death penalty? Because he wants to die? It would only be ok to execute him if he wants to live? Or do you have to prescribe a treatment to make him mentally … Continue reading Death Row Syndrome
Liberal Columnist Asks: What if Bush was Right All Along?
Columnist Mark Brown isn't entirely convinced. But at least he's asking the right questions: Maybe you're like me and have opposed the Iraq war since before the shooting started -- not to the point of joining any peace protests, but at least letting people know where you stood. [...] But after watching Sunday's election in … Continue reading Liberal Columnist Asks: What if Bush was Right All Along?

The Great Abortion Marketing Plan
Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL/Pro-Choice America, is confessing his sins. He was a leading abortion practitioner in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In a column in Worldnet Daily, Dr. Nathanson tells the author how the founded a group to market the idea of abortion to America, and it was far more successful than … Continue reading The Great Abortion Marketing Plan

They give me a complete examination all over again and take all the … Continue reading Lasered Eyeballs Update
Lasered Eyeballs
I'd appreciate your prayers today. I'll be having Lasik surgery this afternoon. Having your eyeballs lasered sounds like some "B" movie science fiction torture method, but I'm assured this surgery is a positive thing. I'll try to post an update when my vision recovers.
Election Fraud
There are a lot of news stories about the Democrats challenging poll results in Ohio lately, even though Bush won that state by 118,000 votes. Although I think the Democrats are just doing political grandstanding on the issue and it won't change anything, making sure the elections are fair is a noble enough cause. Go … Continue reading Election Fraud
Liberal Media Bias
Patterico has a thorough thrashing of the L.A. Times, showing just how lopsided the converage was this year. L.A.

It comes in two parts, and highly recommended reading: Patterico's Los Angeles … Continue reading Liberal Media Bias

Gimme Your Money For Your Own Good
First, our Texas government says they have more money than ever. In fact, they have too much. [Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton] Strayhorn estimated legislators will have $64.7 billion in state revenue to spend in the upcoming two-year budget — $6.4 billion more than they had in January 2003. Then they say they need more: [Texas … Continue reading Gimme Your Money For Your Own Good
CBS Fires Mary Mapes Over Memo Scandal
Bloggers mostly pegged the CBS memo scandal on Mary Mapes last year; she was the producer for that particular segment. Today, CBS agreed with the bloggers and fired her and three others for "myopic zeal." Do you think this will bring back credibility to the CBS News organization? Or do you think it's more likely … Continue reading CBS Fires Mary Mapes Over Memo Scandal

Anytime I start to think that I mis-spend my personal time by playing games, watching tv, or finding games like "Slingshot Santa," I can return time and time again to this site and think, "at least I'm not still trying to contest the 2000 election and put Al Gore back in the Presidency."

Where is the Tsunami Aid Going?
Take a good look at this picture. Feel free to click it for a larger image. This was taken in Galle, Sri Lanka.

Tsunami and Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Banda Aceh, Indonesia was close to the epicenter of the earthquake and the resulting tsunami, but it wasn't until this morning that I understood the magnitude of the impact there. In photos released this morning, here are before and after shots of the shoreline:

Tsunami Update
The US increased the amount of aid pledged 10-fold to $350 million. That doesn't include the millions more pledged voluntarily through organizations like the Red Cross. Meanwhile, Kofi Annan finally speaks on the disaster. Apparently, he didn't want to interrupt his ski vacation in Jackson, Wyoming to deal with the crisis. Q: Mr. Secretary, picking … Continue reading Tsunami Update
Earthquake / Tsunami Animation
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA) has put up a worldwide animation that shows where the earthquake hit and which areas of the world were affected. Watching it it's easy to see why east Africa (3300 miles away), India, Indonesia and Malaysia were hit by the tsunami, but Singapore, only a few hundred miles away, … Continue reading Earthquake / Tsunami Animation

Tsunami Catastrophe
Coming back after the Christmas holidays, I've shocked by the news from Asia, where a tsunami has killed thousands - 22,000 at the last estimate I've seen. A huge, catastrophic number. Some of the pictures are personal - I vacationed once in Phuket, Thailand when my mom and sister came to visit me in Singapore. … Continue reading Tsunami Catastrophe
As Long as Democrats Think That, Republicans Will Win
Peggy Noonan has a great article about how the faith and politics today. It's too bad she only writes on Thursdays. The first example she had was when reporters questioned President Bush's speechwriter, Michael Gerson. The reporters wanted to know when the president refers to his "belief" whether he is speaking in "code" to evangelicals. … Continue reading As Long as Democrats Think That, Republicans Will Win
Removing the Tree
I don't know if they called it a Holiday Tree or a Christmas Tree, but either way, it's gone. Since it was decorated with non-religious ornaments, I'm guessing it was a Holiday Tree. Here's a picture of the actual tree so you can see for yourself. In any event, it's been removed to "make sure … Continue reading Removing the Tree
The Healing Power of Chocolate
The ancient Mayans were right. Chocolate heals. Among the benefits reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Cocoa, rich in flavonoids, help keep blood platelets from clumping together which can reduce the risk of blood clots that could lead to heart attacks. Dark chocolate can lower blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients. Chocolate … Continue reading The Healing Power of Chocolate
The Economy Today
Two news stories today make it clear how the economy is fairing today. First, the economy is in the doldrums.

Big Brother and Your Laser Printer
I saw this news article last week, but my brain was compressed by Thanksgiving turkey and I didn't remember until this morning. Did you know that every document you print on a color laser printer or color copier has tiny little yellow dots with the serial number in it? According to experts, several printer companies … Continue reading Big Brother and Your Laser Printer
Mechanical Investing for December
Mechanical Investing was good this month; in fact, I'm holding almost everything for another month, so turnover is light. I'm still following the SOS_Ancer and H52 screens primarily, and they're working out well this year. I'm going to try to change the format a little; the software I was using to calculate returns is a … Continue reading Mechanical Investing for December
Dan Rather Cleans Out His Desk
I lost respect for Dan Rather over the whole Memogate; I was irritated that a news organization, portraying itself as independent and factual, was trying to bring down President Bush by using fake documents. And they weren't even quality fakes, they were inept fakes. I ranted about this amoral behavior here and here and here … Continue reading Dan Rather Cleans Out His Desk
Reasons for Abortion
Erin recently stopped by to visit to comment on a post I made this summer on John Kerry's hypocritical stance on abortion. She volunteers at a Crisis Pregnancy Center and sees firsthand some of the issues women face. I thought I'd do a little research into the reasons women get abortions. According to the Alan … Continue reading Reasons for Abortion
ACLU Bullies Boy Scouts
The ACLU has found a target to pick on - the Boy Scouts of America. In response to a religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, the Defense Department today agreed to end direct sponsorship of hundreds of Boy Scout units, which require members to swear religious oaths, on military … Continue reading ACLU Bullies Boy Scouts
Faking God
Kathleen Parker writes a fantastic article about how religion didn't "work" for the Democrats during this election. Through their post-election soul-searching, Democratic leaders claim to have seen the light. The reason they lost - and the way to win - is God. It was precisely this sort of insight for which God created Monday mornings. … Continue reading Faking God
De-legitimizing the Election
A good article on the Washington Post shows how the media is attempting to de-legitimize the 2004, comparing it to the last conservative victory the media de-legitimized 10 years ago, the 1994 New Gingrich Contract with America. In 1994, when the Gingrich revolution swept Republicans into power, ending 40 years of Democratic hegemony in the … Continue reading De-legitimizing the Election
Generosity Index
Apparently some grumpy people upset about the election are forwarding an IQ Chart that shows that intelligent states voted for Kerry, dumb states voted for Bush. It's a hoax, of course. On the other hand, Michelle Malkin has pulled data from the Generosity Index and cross referenced it to the 2004 election results. That's company … Continue reading Generosity Index
Yessir, You're a Fart
Not that I have any real opinion on the death of Yasser Arafat.

A Sad American
Thanks to a tip from Spritzy, I read this article from A Sad American. Absolutely amazing article about why this average middle of the road American didn't really want to vote for Bush, but the Democratic party alienated her so bad she couldn't vote for Kerry. Highly recommended reading for both conservative and liberal people. … Continue reading A Sad American

I never intended to blog politically, but that's sort of the way it turned out over the last few months. I guess that's normal, given the elections. As I get older, I get more opinionated.

In Terms of Miles, It Was a Landslide
I ran across this at Michelle Malkin this evening, a listing of Red (Bush) counties versus Blue (Kerry) counties. It's a bit incomplete, but you can fill in the blanks with the 2000 version at USA Today: A couple of things that are noteworthy - In terms of square miles, Bush won 3.28 million miles … Continue reading In Terms of Miles, It Was a Landslide
Cleaning Up After the Party
I'm tweaking a few things, but I don't think anybody will miss it. I've removed the Shoutbox/Tagboard that we weren't using, I deleted the "## Days Until George Bush is Re-Elected" pieces. In a week or two I'll remove the Bush/Cheney '04 news box. I'll probably randomly remove other stuff, too, just to see if … Continue reading Cleaning Up After the Party
Conspiracy Theories
I am amused by the conspiracy theorists on the left. I don't blame them for holding out hope, though statistically it's unlikely Kerry can gain enough votes. Here's the theories I found on Democratic Underground: The exit polls are never wrong, and they showed Kerry winning Florida and Ohio. Canadian TV said it would be … Continue reading Conspiracy Theories
All My Horses Were Winners
I only stayed up till midnight last night watching the returns. It was sort of like watching a baseball game, except there were no pitchers or batters or a baseball field. Ok, it wasn't at all like a baseball game except for the numbers going up on a scoreboard. I headed to bed when it … Continue reading All My Horses Were Winners
Coincidence?
The stock market tanks after rumors that John Kerry was doing better than expected in key battleground states. Naked German people having sex on the sidewalk. And 300 blood sucking monkeys attack children at a Hindu temple. Coincidence? I think not. The end of the world is nigh. 😛
It's George Bush is Re-Elected!
A fitting title bar, "It's George Bush is Re-Elected!" across the top. Yesterday it said, "Tomorrow is George Bush is Re-Elected!" Perhaps malapropisms will cause our opposition to misunderestimate us. 🙂 Yes, that's right - it's election day! In order to relieve overcrowding at the polls, today is the day Republicans go to the polls … Continue reading It's George Bush is Re-Elected!

Substance Versus Style
Uptown Girl made a good observation this morning about John Kerry's multiple personality disorder: He seems to have a different “personality†for every group he speaks to. For instance his recent interview with Tom Brokaw he was “Serious Senator Kerry†– - on stage with Springsteen he was “Drink A Lot Of Beer Kerry†– … Continue reading Substance Versus Style
October Surprise
The "October Surprise" by the media about missing explosives didn't work this year. Why? Obvious: it wasn't person. Now if CBS could come up with documents that say Bush personally took the explosives, that might stick a little. Instead, it comes across as criticizing the troops, calling them incompetent. They are not; our troops are … Continue reading October Surprise

Democrat Tricks Again
Did you know the Democrats have already filed 9 lawsuits in Florida over the election results, and we haven't even voted yet?

Strong and Compelling Answers
Kerry has been saying lately, "I have been consistent all along on Iraq. I would have done things differently." I'll tell you this - I follow politics daily, and I have no idea what Kerry's plan is. He says he's going to be tough on terror, he wouldn't go into Iraq, Saddam had to be … Continue reading Strong and Compelling Answers
Cher and Rosie Draw Crowds Numbering in the Dozens
The Miame Herald reported that thousands of people were expected to show up for John Kerry rallies this weekend.

Instead of thousands, though, only a couple of hundred showed up: "There were supposed to be thousands of people here tonight.

Eliminating Provisional Ballot Chaos
Whew. The goofiest ruling in this election season was in the swing state of Ohio. Ohio is shaping up to be the 2004 version of Florida - whoever wins Ohio next week is likely to be President.

Bush Nepotism! Horrors!
From a Reuters news story today, it appears that the Democrats worst fears have been realized. Yes - the Bush brothers are helping each other! What is this world coming to?

I'm rooting for the Red Sox. Looks like they're on the verge of whooping the Yankees tonight. Tomorrow I'll be rooting for the Astros. Go 'Stros! Then the World Series will be... Massachussetts vs. Texas. Sort of symbolic. I like that. 😛

A Little Indecision
