If for no other reason, you ought to vote for George Bush because the Democrats have shown themselves to be completely inept. According to the Drudge Report, John Kerry has launched a new campaign today, claiming Bush lied. The latest claim is that campaign literature from 1978 says George Bush claimed to have been in … Continue reading Latest Democrat Missile Misses Target. Again.

What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
Tonight Dan Rather explained that the memos were real because the story was true. And the story was true because they had these memos... I didn't buy it, and neither did Wizbang. In particular, the "superscript" function of that typewriter would let you raise the 'th' up a 1/2 step, but it wouldn't change the … Continue reading What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
Close to Home
Early this morning, a co-worker was struck by a drunk driver on his way to work. Hardy Carrow died 2 hours later at the hospital. I barely knew Hardy - this is a large office complex - but when I saw him, he always had a smile on his face. He was a good friend … Continue reading Close to Home
John Kerry and Guns
John Kerry took some flap yesterday when he received a gun at the United Mine Workers Labor Day. Kerry then made the very unpresidential-like offer to shoot President Bush by saying, ""I thank you for the gift, but I can't take it to the debate with me." Drudge reported that the gun was a Browning … Continue reading John Kerry and Guns
Lower Taxes. Higher Revenues. Better Economy.
NEW YORK - In the headlines this afternoon, the Congressional Budget Office will project that this year's U.S. budget deficit will be smaller than expected. The nonpartisan CBO is expected to say that the deficit will reach $422 billion. While that is a record, it is down from the $477 billion estimated for the year … Continue reading Lower Taxes. Higher Revenues. Better Economy.
The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
I've noticed the liberal media has dried up on a topic they covered in detail earlier this year. Aghast that George Bush was going to drastically outspend their opponent of choice, the news overflowed with the vast amounts of wealth George Bush had compared the pitiful pauper John Kerry. Now that John Kerry has raised … Continue reading The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
Stable For Now, I Think
With the help of a WordPress moderator named Podz, I reverted back to WordPress 1.2, and everything's been stable for 5 hours now. I'm going to start adding in the style sheets and stuff. I need some duct tape and some super glue and I'll be set. The scary thing is seeing my entire blog … Continue reading Stable For Now, I Think
Hurricane Alex Just Blew Through
My son dropped in yesterday afternoon. I didn't raise no dummy - he had 3 loads of laundry that cost 75 cents each. He'll spend $10 in gas to save 75 cents - but it's my credit card paying for gas. Heh. I don't mind; I thought he grew up quickly when he was young, … Continue reading Hurricane Alex Just Blew Through
Navy Investigates Kerry's Medals
In 1996, [Chief of Naval Operations] Admiral Jeremy Boorda committed suicide after he was accused of wearing medals he hadn't earned. At the time, Sen. Kerry told the Boston Herald that the error was "sufficient to question his leadership position." "If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a … Continue reading Navy Investigates Kerry's Medals
Michael Swears Off Dating Again
I mentioned a few months ago that's I've mostly given up dating. For my mental health, I tell myself. Maybe once a year I'll try a date or two, then give it up again. Sometimes I think about going to the gym and working out in order to impress women, but hey, that's why I … Continue reading Michael Swears Off Dating Again
Outrageous! It's Guantanamo!
The NERVE of the police! People merely breaking the law are ARRESTED! Thrown in to jail, and this is the outrageous part - they are DETAINED against their will! What is this country coming to, a police state where lawbreakers get thrown in jail? Don't suggest that they protest peacefully, of course. That's looney.
Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Zell Miller gave a rousing patriotic speech last night to explain why he's switching party lines to vote for George Bush. His heart and mind is his conscience, and he's proudly stated something that's important to me. I am not necessarily a Republican. I don't hold certain ideals because Republicans tell me to; I am … Continue reading Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Workout Slippers
Last night's workout was cancelled due to equipment failure. I had been using my tennis shoes, but over the weekend decided to get my old racquetball shoes out of the closet to use as my gym sneaks. I put them into the gym bag and headed to work. After work at the gym, I started … Continue reading Workout Slippers
Mechanical Investing for August
By the hair of my chinny chin chin, mechanical investing did ok this month. The overall market took a beating and most stocks (including mine) were down, but one big winner made it a positive month for me. Six winners and seven losers this month. Holding for another month: Ticker Return PBR +3.8% Petroleo … Continue reading Mechanical Investing for August
MTV Awards & John Kerry's Daughters
I didn't watch the MTV Awards last night. There's not much about that event that appeals to me. With MTV solidly behind John Kerry, I expected a lot of Bush bashing. Imagine my surprise when I read on Drudge last night that when John Kerry's daughters got up on stage to ask people to vote … Continue reading MTV Awards & John Kerry's Daughters
Wayward College Student Found!
Alex called back last night and we caught up on things. He's staying up at college this weekend (good for him!); he has parties, an XBox tournament, and movies to go see. Some of those events mysteriously involve girls.
Kerry's Stunt Backfires
Despite the best effort of the liberal media (headline reads "Kerry Backer Tries in Vain to Get Protest to Bush"), John Kerry's stunt went over like a lead balloon yesterday. He organized Max Cleland, the disabled ex-Senator, to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Crawford ranch. Of course it was a stunt; he … Continue reading Kerry's Stunt Backfires
Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue
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 … Continue reading Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue
Open Carefully
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 … Continue reading Open Carefully
Looking for an Honest Candidate
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 … Continue reading Looking for an Honest Candidate
Zipper Troubles
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 … Continue reading Zipper Troubles
Twas the Night After College
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 … Continue reading Twas the Night After College
Twas the Night Before College
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 … Continue reading Twas the Night Before College
Bark Park
Patch & I went for a little outing this morning. He knew I was heading out as I was putting on my tennis shoes; as I headed downstairs, Patch raced ahead and checked the hall coat closet to see if I was getting a leash. Puppy joy! Not just any leash, but the short brown … Continue reading Bark Park
Poetry in Motion
Jo at Spin the Moon teaches me how to write poetry about my site. Chasing the C5 button. *click* SOLD OUT. Clinton mostly balanced the case had been robbed! The War? record. I think, the minimum level, it originated at Patty’ s wedding over the Fox & Hound, a quarter comes out Bummer. Ok. Yeah. … Continue reading Poetry in Motion
Dancin' Donna, The Next Day
I had fun last night. We danced for about 3 hours, though I had an impression ahead of time that she was an excellent dancer. I'd say "enthusiastic" dancer would better describe her, and she was quick learner. By the end of the night I was able to lead her through some spins. I had … Continue reading Dancin' Donna, The Next Day
Oops. Technical Trouble.
Do not adjust your set. We are in control of the horizontal. We are in contr;lieneqw;el/.... I upgraded to a beta verstion of WordPress tonight and broke something. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to fix it, nor am I smart enough to go backwards. In the meantime, comments are broken. I'll just have to talk … Continue reading Oops. Technical Trouble.
Dancin' Donna
I met a woman, Donna, at Patty's wedding over a month ago; somebody told her I could dance. She asked me if that was true. I don't know how to answer that question. Compared to what? Compared to a gorilla? Yeah, compared to a gorilla I dance well. Compared to Fred Astaire? Yes, compared to … Continue reading Dancin' Donna
So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
This just in: John Kerry is pro-war again. Even if he knew there were no WMD's. GRAND CANYON, Ariz. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Monday he would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing force against Iraq even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found. … Continue reading So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
Mini Blog Party
Saturday night, Courtney (and her husband Andy), Jo (and her husband Rob), and I had a itsy bitsy teeny weeny blog party. A dinner at the Fox & Hound, a faux English pub with decent food, followed by some billiards. Courtney & Andy are up to something: Jo & Michael argue about which hand should … Continue reading Mini Blog Party
Limited Government
I'm waiting for the major media to catch up on the Swift Boat Veteran stories. It's all over the conservative blogs, and just now starting to reach the liberal blogs. The left needed some time to catch up, and they're researching the background of the swift boat veterans. That's a good thing, by the way … Continue reading Limited Government
I'm Not Funny This Monday Morning
Really. I'll show you..... wait for it.... wait.... see? No punch line. Actually, I'm a bit woozy today. Trouble falling asleep, weird, bizarre dreams I can't remember, except for the doorbell at 4:30am. Yes, I heard a doorbell. Would you answer it? I was pretty sure I dreamed the doorbell or Patch would have been … Continue reading I'm Not Funny This Monday Morning
Swift Boat Veterans Not Amused
The reporter that said veteran George Elliott has recanted his affidavit yesterday has also written the Kerry-Edwards campaign book. George Elliott denies he ever recanted his story and says the reporter made the whole thing up. None of that, apparently, was newsworthy; the only news story I could find is from CNN that basically says … Continue reading Swift Boat Veterans Not Amused
Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Hold Strong
It's apparent the liberal media does *not* want to cover the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. It makes John Kerry look bad. They *do* however want to carry a news article that one of the Swift Boat Vets wants to retract his story. It was front page everywhere today, but it originated at the Boston … Continue reading Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Hold Strong
Vending Machine Wars, Part III
First they forced me to buy sunflower seeds against my will. Then they developed chemical weapons and forced me to buy pink sissy lemonade. Today, though, I declare a victory in the battle against vending machines! The Coke machine here is an odd one - it has a clear glass front with faux icicles to … Continue reading Vending Machine Wars, Part III
Do Not Chew on Cinderella's Head
I really enjoy The Bleat. If I had brain cells that remembered important things instead of, say, how to sing in spoonerisms, I'd probably remember that I've said that before. I really enjoy The Bleat. But instead of remembering that I've already said that, instead, it's a vague "deja-vue" sort of feeling. Update: I wrote … Continue reading Do Not Chew on Cinderella's Head
Houston Chronicle Finally Understands Tax Cuts
I posted another article on ChronicallyBiased. It's funny when liberal newspapers support conservative issues. 😛
More SwiftVets for Truth
Update to the SwiftVets for Truth: Apparently that whole "John Kerry faked his wounds to get his Purple Hearts" isn't sitting well with John Kerry for some reason. Here's an update this afternoon. McCain denounced the ad, called for the White House to denounce it, too. The White House declined. (My opinion is that anybody … Continue reading More SwiftVets for Truth
The Purple Heart Hunter
I blogged last night about Swift Boat Veterans and their opinion that John Kerry is unfit for command. They have a book coming out next month, "Unfit for Command," that describes their impression of Kerry, including a description of the first Purple Heart. Other veterans on Kerry's boat that night maintain that there was no … Continue reading The Purple Heart Hunter
Peggy Noonan the Conservative
Peggy Noonan, one of my favorite columnists, has stepped down from her Wall Street Journal position in order to help the Republican party. She feels that now more than ever requires personal sacrifice in order to win the war on terror, and that our best hope of winning the war is if the Republican Party … Continue reading Peggy Noonan the Conservative
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
John Kerry has made a great deal of his Vietnam service. Have you ever wondered what the other veterans in his swift boat thought of him? John Kerry shouldn't wonder since they sent him a legal cease-and-desist letter to stop Kerry from using their photos: By letters delivered to the campaign on May 17 and … Continue reading Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
Keeping Your Guard Up II
Heh. NYTimes took a lot of heat for their "oh, that terrorism threat is old news" article I blogged yesterday. Today, they're singing a different tune. Senior government officials said Tuesday that new intelligence pointing to a current threat of a terrorist attack on financial targets in New York and possibly in Washington - not … Continue reading Keeping Your Guard Up II
Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
It was only a matter of time - John Kerry spent months criticizing the economy and blaming it on Bush, but all the signs showed that the economy had turned around and was starting to accelerate rapidly. At the convention last week, Kerry barely mentioned the economy. How is Kerry supposed to complain about the … Continue reading Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
Keeping Your Guard Up
Yesterday, the terror alert level was raised in New York, New Jersey and Washington, citing intelligence information that showed financial institutions such as Citibank, Prudential, and the World Bank were possible targets. Today, leftist news was dismissive of the threat, saying that it's based on old news prior to 2001. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 -Much of … Continue reading Keeping Your Guard Up
Higher Paying Jobs
I had a conversation with a good neighbor and friend tonight, and one of the topics was job growth. Here in Houston, the job market has been terrible, and it's apparent some jobs in some industries are not coming back. But I think this is looking at the economy through a pinhole - the US … Continue reading Higher Paying Jobs
The Only Thing We Have to Fear
The Bleat is some excellent daily wirting... er, writing... see? that's why I'll never be famous. I need an editor. He only wirtes.. writes a single article a day, but each one makes an impact. His family, his daily living, his family values. He even makes music with sound mixers and Star Trek clips. Today's … Continue reading The Only Thing We Have to Fear
USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
USAToday tried to think outside the box, but it didn't last long. They hired right-winger Ann Coulter to cover the Democrats, and Michael Moore *shudder* to cover the Democrats. Ann Coulter went first, wrote a scathing, sarcastic, classic Coulter article. USA Today basically said, "I DON'T GET IT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY" and … Continue reading USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
Democratic National Convention
This just in: John Kerry plans to accept the nomination. *zzzzz* I've barely discussed the Democratic National Convention. And do you know why? That's right. It's B-O-R-I-N-G. The only thing remotely interesting was Teresa Heinz telling a reporter to shove it. I was hoping for something interesting to happen: John Kerry announces a new "Principles … Continue reading Democratic National Convention
Enterprise Season 4 Spoilers
The SciFiWire interviewed Jolene Blalock about the upcoming season 4, who let slip a couple of spoilers... She gets married in the 3rd episode. To who? Trip? She won't say, though she's doesn't sound like that's likely: "I think it's absolutely ridiculous that some catfish-eating honky-tonk guy would be appealing to this serene character, personally, … Continue reading Enterprise Season 4 Spoilers
Patch & His New Doggy Door
First off, I feel silly calling it a "doggy door." I don't call Patch a "doggy," so why should I call the door something so silly sounding? I'm considering calling it the "Door of Doom for the Viscious 15 lb Canine." That sounds a lot more grown-up, though it doesn't roll off the tongue so … Continue reading Patch & His New Doggy Door
United Nations Abortion Funding
I penned an article for ChronicallyBiased tonight, but it doesn't look like it's going to get posted until tomorrow. Basically, the Houston Chronical had an editorial today that said Bush was going it along and refusing to give money to the UN that was already promised. Like a lot of liberal media lately, they left … Continue reading United Nations Abortion Funding
Sleeping Late
Sleeping late on a Tuesday morning is wonderful. Everybody should try it sometime. Artisan Renovations is coming over this morning to install... a doggy door. This is way too small of a project for them, but the rest of the renovations have hit a little snag. The doggy door has to be in before my … Continue reading Sleeping Late
Lost Lions
For some reason, Jo's recollection of Lost Lions is different than mine - she launches into a discussion of high-tech ammunitions, chemical peels, masks, arsenals of special soaps... I thought she was recovering from a terrorist attack. Really, Jo, it wasn't *that* bad. 🙂 And hey, before I forget, tomorrow's Jo's birthday. Go make her … Continue reading Lost Lions
Anti-Semitism 150, Israel 6
The United Nations passed a resolution, 150-6, to demand the Israel tear down the wall they're building that's keeping the Palestinian bombers out. Carlos asks,I can imagine Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, … Continue reading Anti-Semitism 150, Israel 6
Why on Earth…
Found via The Irish Lass who was kind enough to leave a poem for me earlier this week is this article in the NY Sun of a woman's attempt to be a Bush supporter among the leftist hate. She has the ultimate answer, though: If someone dares to confront me, I’ll give them the following … Continue reading Why on Earth…
France, Country of Love
Well, except for spitting on Lance Armstrong and their hatred of Jews. Other than that, I'm sure it's a lovely country. Tip: Indepundit
Liberal Media Joyfully Reports Decline in Protestants
I was recently asked to be a guest blogger for ChronicallyBiased, a web-based newspaper that exposes the liberal slant and incomplete stories published by the Houston Chronicle. The exposure over there is vastly greater than here on Chasing the Wind; for one thing, they advertise on the radio and I don't. 🙂 Anyway, I had … Continue reading Liberal Media Joyfully Reports Decline in Protestants
My Socks Normally Bulge Like That
Pundits speculate that the missing documents, based on topics that Sandy Berger was researching, relates to what the Clinton adminstration knew about Al Qaeda operations in the US and the Clinton's Adminstration's plan of action. Other speculation is that Clinton actually had a plan developed after the Millenium Bomber was caught, but may have delayed … Continue reading My Socks Normally Bulge Like That
John Kerry Flips on U.N. Position?
In April, John Kerry said: That is why, for the long term, our third step we must remove the “Made in America†label from the Iraqi occupation. We can do that by creating an international mission authorized by the United Nations. That mission should become the main civilian partner in helping the Iraqi people hold … Continue reading John Kerry Flips on U.N. Position?
Paying the Ransom to Kidnappers
Michelle Malkin uncovers a story from Philippines Daily Tribune: The Malaysian government, Malacañang and the [Phillipine] Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday refused to confirm or deny reports that $6 million in ransom was paid out to the Iraqi kidnappers for the release of Filipino truck driver Angelo de la Cruz in time for President … Continue reading Paying the Ransom to Kidnappers
Bush Apologize? I Think Not.
There are a couple of liberal websites I read; I find most of them full of vitriol and I avoid them, but some of them have polite, civil discussion. One of them is Something's Got to Break. He's posted an article that calls for Bush to apologize for the Iraq war. I was intrigued by … Continue reading Bush Apologize? I Think Not.
The NCAA Didn't Kill Your Son
The death of Texas A&M football player Brandon Fails from a pulmonary embolism in 2002 stemmed in part from the National Collegiate Athletic Association's failure to ensure that school personnel could treat such a condition, Fails' parents assert in an amended version of their lawsuit against the university. It's obvious you're in it for the … Continue reading The NCAA Didn't Kill Your Son
Rod Paige and the NAACP
Rod Paige tears into the NAACP in an opinion to the Wall Streel Journal. I have a message for the NAACP's Julian Bond and Kweisi Mfume, who have accused black conservatives of being the "puppets" of white people, unable to think for ourselves: You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American … Continue reading Rod Paige and the NAACP
Martha Stewart
I'm not really getting into the Martha Stewart thing. I only turned on the TV for a few minutes for breakfast this morning, and Fox News was all "Martha Stewart this" and "Martha Stewart that." *zzzzz* I don't really care whether she's an "ice princess," a "domestic diva," the salvation of our sofa with handmade … Continue reading Martha Stewart
Buying a House?
Then take some advice from Jo at Spin the Moon. She understands what makes a good house - The first time we saw the house, it was horrible. The entryway and halls were sponge painted in purple, yellow and orange. The kitchen still had the avocado green, harvest gold, and burnt orange striped wallpaper leftover … Continue reading Buying a House?
Kerry Wants to Be Just like Bush
Kerry added a new twist to his criticisms of Bush. Now he says he believes in the pre-emptive strike, the part of Bush's foreign policy attacked most often. He says he would attack first if he had sound intelligence information found credible by American and their allies. Then he criticized Bush again for "going it … Continue reading Kerry Wants to Be Just like Bush
Terror in the Skies, Again?
Forget that last post on tuition increases. It pales next to comparison. This eyewitness perspective at WomensWallStreet is what we should be concerned about. Read it. From the terrorists latest dry-run attempts at building bombs in-flight to lawsuits the airlines have lost when they've questioned suspicious Muslim men traveling together and NPR complaining that Arab … Continue reading Terror in the Skies, Again?
Valid Criticisms and Polite Discourse
In any disagreement, there's a way to have a polite discourse. Once you've resorted to name-calling, the effectiveness of the argument is lost. For instance, I feel calling Michael Moore a liar is valid as long as I have evidence he is purposefully misleading people. I see some bloggers calling him "fat". While that's true, … Continue reading Valid Criticisms and Polite Discourse
Dale Earnhard, Jr.'s Politics
Liberal websites all over and gleefully reporting the news that Dale Earnhardt, Jr., took his crew to see Fahrenheit 9/11. *Every* source that I followed tacked back to one of these two places: Michael Moore claims Dale Earnhardt Jr. took his pit crew to see F9/11:Surfing through the dial I landed on the Fox broadcasting … Continue reading Dale Earnhard, Jr.'s Politics
Texas Teachers Comparatively Well-Paid
Today's Chronicle has a story from the Texas Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA, part of the ultra-liberal National Education Association) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT, a union group, part of the AFL-CIO). Of course, reading the article you'd have no idea the NEA and the AFL-CIO were involved. In fact, most Houston teachers would … Continue reading Texas Teachers Comparatively Well-Paid
Whoopi Learns Something New
Whoopi learns a lesson about Cause and Effect. Background: Kerry skips an intelligence briefing so he can do an interview with Larry King and then attend a $25,000 a plate fundraiser. Cause: At the fundraiser, Whoopi made crude, juvenile remarks; the New York Post said "she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on … Continue reading Whoopi Learns Something New
Federal Marriage Amendment
Wall Street Journal writes today on the Federal Marriage Amendment that I found interesting. They basically oppose amending the Constitution to prohibit gay marriages... but they *are* in favor of an amendment that prohibits Federal courts from interpeting the Constitution that way. The entire article is here, but here are the key points that interested … Continue reading Federal Marriage Amendment
Trial Lawyers and Tort Reform
From Overlawyered.com and Point of Law, there are ample reasons to consider that tort reform in America is desparately needed. Manufacturers are wary of the Legal-Lotto system in the US that can spur class-action lawsuits on behalf of plaintiffs that may not have suffered any ill effects or are ever likely to do so, but … Continue reading Trial Lawyers and Tort Reform
Heart & Soul of America
George Bush Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman sent an open letter to John Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill.

Kerry said, "Every performer tonight in their own way … Continue reading Heart & Soul of America
France Opposes Helping Iraq. Again.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari appealed to the 26-nation [NATO] alliance Tuesday to provide border security support, military equipment and protection for U.N. personnel as well as training for the army which is now being rebuilt. "We need this training you promised us in Istanbul to be carried out as soon as possible. We need … Continue reading France Opposes Helping Iraq. Again.
Fifty-Nine Deceits
"Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911" is written by Ralph Nader supporter Dave Kopel. Kopel offers a thorough rebuttal of the points Michael Moore tries to make in his movie. I think it's worthy to note that liberals that support Kerry "because of all the Bush lies" have no qualms whatsoever about supporting Moore's movie. If … Continue reading Fifty-Nine Deceits

Playing the Race Card
June 24, 2004: NAACP Chairman Julian Bond says that President Bush and other Republicans are racist. ""Their idea of equal rights is the American flag and the Confederate swastika flying side by side," Bond told a cheering audience. "They've written a new constitution for Iraq and ignore the Constitution here at home. They draw their … Continue reading Playing the Race Card
I Believe…
Pardon My English has a terrific article that blends in nicely with one of my posts last week. Aaron points out that Kerry says he believes life begins at conception. Michael Meehan, Kerry's senior advisor, says that Kerry is a practicing Catholic, yet won't impose those beliefs on others. Yet if you go to Kerry's … Continue reading I Believe…
College Orientation
I signed my son and me up for orientation at Sam Houston State University this week. It's a 2-day overnight trip, Thursday & Friday. When I read the agenda, they separate us within the first 30 minutes and I don't see my son again until the orientation is over. There's no agenda for what they … Continue reading College Orientation
Leave a Message at the Beep (Part 2)
When John Kerry missed the intelligence briefing this week in order to do a Larry King interview and attend a fundraiser, lots of pundits questioned whether there should have been a briefing at all. In case you haven't pieced it all together, liberals blame George Bush and Tom Ridge whenRidge announces a terror alert and … Continue reading Leave a Message at the Beep (Part 2)
John Kerry's Heresy
I posted here that Kerry's straddling of the fence was unsustainable. He's trying to portray himself a good Catholic boy, a follower of the Catholic faith, and yet he votes 100% pro-abortion. "It's hard," Kerry told parishioner Frank Ward, a father of five and an abortion opponent. "It's a difficult line to walk." Of course … Continue reading John Kerry's Heresy
"Baby killer!"
Those words ought to frighten you - our country's biggest mistake was treating returning Vietnam soldiers with contempt. It weakened our military, drove a wedge down the middle of America, and abused tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans. Are those days long gone? Are the days when people like John Kerry organized groups like Vietnam … Continue reading "Baby killer!"
Blogrolling List
If you're visiting the list of blogs on the sidebar, I'm tweaking how they're displayed. They were displayed with the most recently updated blog at the top, oldest at the bottom. That wasn't working for me, took too long to find a particular blog sometimes. Now they're in alphabetical order. If the blog has been … Continue reading Blogrolling List
Enron's Ken Lay (Finally) Indicted
Ken Lay was arrested this morning. It's about time, it's been what, 2-1/2 years since Enron collapsed? By the way, when you have millions and millions of dollars, you're arrested by the most attractive of FBI agents. It's a perk. "We saw the stock a-rising and our hearts stood still. Go Enron-ron-ron, go Enron-ron. Everyone's … Continue reading Enron's Ken Lay (Finally) Indicted
Mechanical Investing – June Returns Were Great
Stock Trading Day today - usually it's on Monday but the markets were closed yesterday. Still doing Mechanical Investing, mostly from the Ancer Screen of Screens. It's a high return, high risk screen selection, but since I expect to be in the market for 20+ more years, it's a good screen selection for me.

Kerry's Stance on Abortion is…?
Pardon My English exposes a story on Kerry over the weekend regarding his stance on abortion. It's not a surprise to me that he says one thing to one group, and something else entirely to a different group. In the middle of the country he says things like Kerry told the paper: “I oppose abortion, … Continue reading Kerry's Stance on Abortion is…?
Researchers Surprised by Liberal Bias of Media
Oh no!!! It can't be true! Somebody's noticed! People trying to persuade others to adopt their views are very likely to cite think-tank experts who agree with them. And the liberal lobbying group Americans for Democratic Action (their description of themselves) regularly grades politicians from 0 to 100 based on their votes on selected issues, … Continue reading Researchers Surprised by Liberal Bias of Media
Traffic Report Update
We're (dang, there's that royal "we" again) I'm suddenly seeing a lot more traffic, as I mentioned yesterday. Now that the daily stats are ready, it appears almost all of it is from http://moorewatch.com and http://mparent7777.blog-city.com. Don't click that last one, the header shows Bush morphing into Hitler, it's an offensive site that claims you … Continue reading Traffic Report Update

I dream vividly - often the dreams fade quicky, so don't try to ask me after I get to work what I dreamed last night. And by vividly, I don't mean bright colors, I mean an entire movie.

Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag

Rick Perry, several members of the Texas House … Continue reading Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag

"I am Saddam Hussein, president … Continue reading Saddam Is In the Cage
Once A Year
I try to have a date once a year, whether I need one or not.
