Is It Time to Name Blogging Subgroups?
Now that we bloggers have changed the world, the web, and the news, people are starting to look at us in a new light. We’ve even gotten into the dictionary, and some news outlets are starting to look to blogs for more news to cover. I’m starting to notice that the singular term “blog” is [...]
Well, I’ve installed Skype. It’s Cool.
I’ve heard a lot about it, but finally decided to give it a try. A good friend (Hi Dave!) has been talking about Skype on his blog, so I downloaded it and installed it, and gave it a try. He called me up this afternoon from Peoria, and we had a chat. All in all, [...]
No More “Jim Crow” in Georgia
While the Democrats were busy accusing Republicans of being racists, Republicans were busy repealing “Jim Crow” laws in Georgia.
Handcuffing Kids in School?
You know what? When I was a kid, you NEVER saw a kid being hauled out of school by the police. You wouldn’t see a kid in handcuffs. When I was a kid, and one of us gave the teachers trouble, we got a paddling. I’ll never forget Mr. Nulph’s paddle, a large thick hunk [...]
Liberals – Underlying Psychological Problems?
Do liberals have some sort of underlying psychological condition that causes them to be liberals? I know this sounds like a “trolling” statement, but I think it bears examining. There’s more going on than mere political discourse. There’s a lot more. Paranoia – How many ways have we heard, from liberals, that George W. Bush [...]
Joke Gets Man Killed Seven Years Later
I’m putting this in the “Funny Stuff” category, but I probably shouldn’t. William Berkeyheiser answered the door and was shot dead. Why? Apparently, he told a joke to Stanford Douglas that Douglas thought was racially insensitive. It bothered Douglas so much that he tracked Berkeyheiser down to his home and killed him seven years after [...]
Liberals Wrong Again in Iraq
They said we wouldn’t be able to defeat Iraq in 1991. They said we’d need 10,000+ body bags if we invaded Iraq the second time around. They said we couldn’t liberate Afghanistan. They said we couldn’t have elections in Afghanistan. They said we couldn’t have elections in Iraq. They said a lot of thing. They [...]
Schools Taking Control of Explicit Songs at Prom
Schools have finally figured out how to control obscene music at school dances. They simply withhold payment from DJs that play songs with explicit lyrics. ”We can’t be the music police, but I tell the DJs, ‘I’m an old lady, and I’m standing over there in the corner. Don’t make an old lady walk across [...]
Ann Coulter Addressed Filibuster – Liberals Call Her a Man
The new Ann Coulter column is out. This time, she addressed the Democrat filibuster of conservative judges, pointing out an important detail. The detail that she points out is that the Democrats aren’t pointing out the details. “But their actual objections to Brown are somewhat opaque. The Web page of ‘People for a Small Slice [...]
France’s EU Vote and Monetary Valuation
In recent weeks/months, the US Dollar has been losing value against other currencies, including the Euro. This brings a couple questions to mind. One, what happens to the Euro if widespread adoption of the EU constitution fails? Two, what happens to the value of the Euro, and the dollar -vs- the Euro, if widespread adoption [...]
