And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party

Pink and Green
First, some background about the way I select my clothes in the morning. I generally put the freshly laundered clothes on the left side of the closet, and select clothes to wear from the right side. I suspect women select their clothes based on mood, impression, temperature, moon phase, and other factors I can't deduce, … Continue reading Pink and Green
What Time Is It in Indiana?
I am amused. This should be a simple task; telling the client in Qatar what time our meeting starts in Indiana. I found out that this state has been arguing about the time for nearly two centuries. Some people who have ties back to New York want Eastern Standard Time. Others, who work with Chicago, … Continue reading What Time Is It in Indiana?
Buttons
Why does the dry cleaners crush the buttons on the sleeves of men's dress shirts? Do they have a special machine to crush buttons, or do they do it manually? Just curious.
State of Cindy's Delusion
You probably know Cindy Sheehan was arrested and removed before the President's State of the Union address last night. That wasn't really a surprise - the surprise to me was that a U.S. Representative, Lynn Woolsey, gave her a ticket. Sometimes the Left is really... Left, you know? Cindy was removed by Capital Police because, … Continue reading State of Cindy's Delusion
Look Around You
"...Orion looked like he had freckles."
Why Are You Here?
I haven't done this in a while - what brings people to Chasing the Wind? Here's a list of searches people use. By the way, this list is always up to date in my sidebar, down near the bottom where it says "Referral Links." Some days, that the most fun part of blogging. 😛 Democrats … Continue reading Why Are You Here?
The Great Lion Prediction
Bitter Sanity has some insightful predictions about lionizing Saddam Hussein. I'd like to think this is fantasy, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate: A few predictions I've been thinking that it's only a matter of time before mainstream thought in this country begins the process of lionizing Saddam Hussein. With his trial beginning, the tone … Continue reading The Great Lion Prediction

Macho Man is Endangered? By What?
Seriously, I have trouble imagining the world that these people come from. Their planet must be painted in pastels and have a lovely floral scent. PARIS (AFP) - Macho man is an endangered species, with today's male more likely to opt for a pink flowered shirt and swingers' clubs than the traditional role as family … Continue reading Macho Man is Endangered? By What?
The Casual Abortion
Last week, a new report came out that showed women were more casual about abortions now - rather than something to be avoided, some women would have multiple abortions instead of using birth control (or heaven forbid, abstaining altogether). A dramatic rise in repeat abortions has reinforced fears that women are increasingly having terminations for … Continue reading The Casual Abortion
Burrito Boy Terrorizes School
I think the boy got off light. I've had burritos that could be classified as dangerous weapons. They sell microwave burritos that can gas an entire car full of beach-going friends, and they should be outlawed. CLOVIS, N.M. - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers … Continue reading Burrito Boy Terrorizes School

Where Oh Where Has My Firefly Gone?
I am not a brownshirt, although it's certainly starting to look like it. After buying the Firefly DVD series last August, I watched an episode with Sean. Well... ok, more than one. After the first episode, he said he could stay for another. And then another. I think we watched 5 in a row before … Continue reading Where Oh Where Has My Firefly Gone?
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. Now, Sri Lanka is primarily Buddhist, but many of the countries hardest hit by the tsunami are Muslim.

How much would you pay for a 10-year old grilled cheese sandwich with a bite taking out of it?

If my train of thought leaves Chicago at 35 miles per hour.... What am I doing? Oh, nothing. Thanks for asking. I was just reflecting on how much I enjoy having this website and all the visitors that leave comments, but some days I just don't feel like diving into the topic du juor.

Bush Country Tee Shirt
From Another Day Closer, that Red/Blue map of the USA is now available on a t-shirt at NewsMaxStore.
Offensive Sacrilege
Via Pamibe comes an article about as offensive as the left can be. I always wonder this about the extreme left: they preach Political Correctness (PC) everywhere. Can't say this cuz it offends group A. Can't say that, cuz it offends group B. I know I'm allowed to call myself white, but if you're another … Continue reading Offensive Sacrilege

Giving Blood
I gave blood after lunch today, and I'm following the nurse's orders - relaxing, eating cookies, drinking water, blogging. Giving blood is only a minor inconvenience to you and can help save lives, so consider it when you next get the opportunity. And you get free toys - last time I got a frisbee, today … Continue reading Giving Blood
Chasing the Wind is on the rise!
I've added a link at the bottom to the TTLB Ecosystem. We grew from roughly 7500th most popular blog to #6454 in the first day, jumping from the "Insignificant Microbe", past "Multicellular Organism," "Wiggly Worm," "Crunchy Crustacean" and "Lowly Insect." Chasing the Wind is now a Slimy Mollusc! I want a tee shirt.
