As of this minute, the House has yielded to the will of the people and put the Bailout out the House door. It appears that the world is upside down when you realize that it is the Democrats that want to bail out Wall Street and the Big Banks. That is, until, you pause a [...]

Use A Clean Broom and Sweep the Bums Out

So here we are on Monday, and all indications are that the bailout will be signed into law. Both sides of the aisles, Democrats and Republicans, will sign off on the biggest slide towards socialism in this country’s history. The government, with the use of my money over which I have no control, will [...]
Just Because You Park Your Butt There Doesn’t Make It Yours

If you make a monthly payment to someone else, be it the government, a mortgage bank, or a relative, the house in which you live is not “yours.” It belongs to the hand that takes your money. You may live there, but you do it at the permission of the owner and that permission is [...]
I Didn’t Watch the Winners or the Emmys

I am thinking of awarding myself an attaboy for television non-watching. I didn’t watch the Emmy Show last night so I missed seeing people I have never watched –read Colbert and the other guy –award Emmys (or is the plural Emmies) to shows I have never watched. Some of them I had never heard of [...]
So, Baby-Boomers, Spoiled to the Core, What Have You Wrought?

I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck today, drinking a cup of coffee, and enjoying this first burst of fall in the south. The wind is blowing a low-humidity cool through the pine trees and causing the straw to fall on the driveway that I just cleaned off a couple of days ago. [...]
AOL and Award Inflation
Posted in Military on September 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A headline at AOL read “Marine Denied Medal of Honor.” One would think from reading that headline that the Medal of Honor was an award for which one had to apply. I read the article and I could not help but feel that the family felt that the Marine “deserved” the Medal of [...]
Punks and The National Anthem

Josh Howard, a forward for the Dallas Mavericks, has commented that he doesn’t honor the Star-Spangled Banner because he is black. I submit that being black has nothing to do with it. He doesn’t respect anything because he is an overpaid, he makes $9.5 million a year playing basketball, selfish punk who doesn’t realize just [...]
Seven Houses and $28,500 a Plate: Yeah, They Understand Us

I am really tired of this presidential election. I don’t know if I am just tired of the election, or if I am tired of listening to people who don’t have a clue about what they are talking about, but still talk. The other night I was talking with a friend about the election and [...]
A Breath of Fresh Air About LIfe

There was some squirming in the pews at Holy Trinity yesterday. I couldn’t help but notice that the applause for the speaker who was speaking for the 40 Days of Life was not as supportive as it probably could have been. I don’t know how many American Catholics actually practice natural birth control and or [...]
RCIA: So Far So Good

This is my first post since the RCIA class on Monday night. For those of you who might not know RCIA is the introduction by the Roman Catholic Church to prospective members . It is an acronym and stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. I don’t know what I expected, but this [...]
