Some Elitists and Last Night

I have several acquaintances who are employed by state funded educational institutions.  As one might expect, they are liberal and voted universally Democratic.  Since the schools at which they teach are located in the South, they were extremely dismayed by the results of last night’s election.  They lamented the fact that the decision-making processes, overall intelligence, and political [...]

Feet On the Streets Never Count As Much As Butts in the Seats

It is the day that Obama signed the national health-care plan into law, and the blogosphere is literally ablaze with reactions, predictions, threats, celebrations, and “told-yo-so’s.”  Predictably, the mood of the conservative side is bleak as they watch “another piece of America gone’ , while the mood of the liberal side is awash in glee as [...]

The Great American Sucker

I am beginning to feel like a real sucker.  I won’t comment about my joining the military when there was no draft and watching as those who didn’t join settled into lives when there were no moves every three years (minimum), bullets flying at you, and unaccompanied tours to areas where it got really cold.  [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Goodbye Al et. al.

I have noticed that on this site commenting  politics generates more traffic than anything else.  Commenting on politics today is just so easy to do.  Poetry and science get less traffic, but they interest me a lot more.  So, from now on, I will resist the urge to ridicule the “body politik” and instead write [...]
