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…

King of the Forest
I have to get my car inspected, but that has almost nothing to do with the story. Like a good little taxpayer, I reregistered both cars - my Maxima and my son's Aurora. He's heading off to college next month and I've been trying to do last minute training at turning him into a full-fledged … Continue reading King of the Forest
California Girlie Men
Arnold Schwarzenegger took over a tough job in California - spending is way out of control, the people are already taxed to their eyeballs, and Arnold has to get the budget under control. He's trying to do it by compromising up the middle - floating some bonds and cutting some programs. His problem is that … Continue reading California Girlie Men
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
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…
Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag
The local Houston Chronicle is a worthless left-wing news rag. There, I said it. They intentionally skip stories about C.L.O.U.T. homeowners protesting their way-out-of-sight property taxes, yet they happily publish this worthless article about Republican Governor Rick Perry: AUSTIN -- Prompted by recent controversies nipping at Gov. Rick Perry, several members of the Texas House … Continue reading Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag
Scrappleface Satire
There's some funny stuff there this week. My favorite entries::: Publisher Revokes Hillary's Advance for Common Good (2004-07-01) -- In the same week that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, told a San Francisco audience that future President John Forbes Kerry will take money away from wealthy Americans "on behalf of the common good", the former First … Continue reading Scrappleface Satire

It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It
Thanks to a Wizbang lead, I can answer SondraK's recent question about why Air America was no longer on the air. SondraK? An Air America listener? Perhaps she takes Zantax afterwards. Air America went on the air with great fanfare, throwing lavish parties and promising to uproot Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. The only problem … Continue reading It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It
What Did You Find?
I haven't done this in a couple of weeks - I'm fascinated when people Google stuff and end up here. Most of the time what they're searching for was only mentioned in passing, or there was only a single article on the subject. Without further ado (if you want further ado, I can provide that … Continue reading What Did You Find?
Democrat Suicide Watch
Found this at "Blogs for Bush", but actually penned at "The Common Virtue". Imagine, for a moment if you will, that you are a liberal Democrat. Then imagine what it must have been like for them to wake up this morning and find every reason for their arguments against President Bush absolutely obliterated. The article … Continue reading Democrat Suicide Watch

A Saturday from Dell…
For not having anything on the agenda, I was busy all day. I spent the day at Mom's getting her new Dell laptop up and running with everything installed correctly. Not too many problems except for the wireless network installation - I changed values in the Physical address / MAC fields of the router setup … Continue reading A Saturday from Dell…
Ow^2
Up late again. Same reason. This morning I'm driving to work, listening to a country music love song. I cried like a baby. I gotta listen to something else. Maybe go back to listening to talk radio. No, wait - politician talk about raising my taxes on talk radio. That makes me cry like a … Continue reading Ow^2
