Happy Freedom Week


I was going to wish everybody a Happy 4th of July on July 4th but that won’t be possible.
I am leaving tomorrow morning for Charleston, SC and will celebrate the 4th down there at a concert. I am going to see the Old Crow Medicine Show and the Dave Matthews Band at the Joseph P. Riley, [...]

“Straight home from work, sweet cheeks!”


Personally, I thought the Heinz mayo commercial was hilarious.
The kids definitely didn’t get their accents from their mum!
It surprised me that the ad was pulled from the airwaves in the UK but that is because I just assume the British are a little less uptight than Americans. Maybe I am wrong about that. Maybe being [...]

Can Obama be President?


Got this in my email box today
****CAN OBAMA BE PRESIDENT?
It seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president afterall for the following reason:
Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, [...]

Back to reality


I took that long lonesome trip back to work today. And now I have to wade through a ton of paper and emails. Many phone calls to return and I know if history is any indicator I will spend the next week trying to get my feet back on the ground.
I did have a wonderful [...]

Outta Here!


On my way to Amelia Island.
I intend to spend a week locked inside a room where the thermostat is set on 68 while the rest of the family frolics in the sand and the heat.
My hope is not to as much as stumble across a television news station or even look at a newspaper. I [...]

Caesaropapism Rampant


Americans are said to be cynical about politics. Actually, they are presidential romantics. Which is why they suffer serial disappointments.
The next President, whomever it may be, will not disappoint me. I will not allow it. I have had enough disappointments for the last 8 years to last me two more lifetimes.
I vow to expect nothing [...]

The weather is weird!


I have never been one to buy into the global warming thing. I do not deny that the globe is warming I just don’t put a lot of stock in the notion that man is the driving force behind the changes in weather.
That being said I still am amazed at the weather we have been [...]

Happy Anniversary!


Five years ago today.
How the mighty have fallen.

The Democratic Primary


I know I should probably be waterboarded for saying it but I love what the Democratic Primary is doing to  Republican shills and Hilbots.
Joe Scarborough is beside himself. He just can’t get over Hillary’s shocking win in Pennsylvania.
Shocking win? Joe she was once a 20 point favorite there. Nobody in their right mind expected Obama to [...]

Spying for Israel


I got a kick out of this article simply because I honestly did not know that Israel needed spies when it came to the United States. I always figured that pretty much what was ours was theirs.
The part of the article that tickled me the most was this line
Kadish did not appear to receive any [...]
