Democrats seem intent on losing a presidential sure-thing, don’t they?
For many years I have been proud to call myself a Democrat. As a student of history, I decided that the Democratic Party, at least since the days of FDR, represents most clearly the “progressive,” “pro-people” approach to government which I believe is the right and the best way to run a country. (In my [...]
Useful website for all hunting, outdoors enthusiasts among us
I haven’t posted about very many places in the “Useful Website” category lately. So here’s a good site for those of you who are specifically into hunting and related outdoor recreation — the “Hunting & Recreation Business Mall,” a good place to check for top of the line Hunting Blinds and Deer Feeders.
Personally, I haven’t [...]
Good old John McCain — trying to sound as much like a Democrat as possible
I just read that Sen. McCain, in a foreign policy speech, says America must not use it’s “great power to do whatever we want whenever we want,” but instead must “listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies.”
Remember back in the “glory days” of the Bush Administration as we ramped [...]
Are body lights right for you? Another trend that leaves me in the dark
I was looking around the Internet at some odd or “novelty” fashion trends for some research I’m doing. I am well aware of the more prudish (??) stuff out there such as plain old lingerie and ho-hum (??) things like body stockings.
But body lights?? Blinking body lights at that???
Where have I been while the world [...]
Once upon a time I really CARED about the 2008 presidential election — but now??
I’m sitting here listening to the tug of war going on right now over the Democratic presidential candidacy. I’ve simply gotten to the point that I’ve overloaded on politics and politicians.
Take the Democrats for example. Between Obama’s efforts to speak and double-speak to get around his former pastor’s ranting and Clinton’s “mispeaking” to dramatize her [...]
Easter Sunday — musings on a special day and what it meant to me and my family
I’m not trying to get preachy or sermonize here, but this is a special day for my family, Easter Sunday, and this particular Easter has been very “up and down” for me.
On the upside, church was really encouraging for me this morning. We’ve never been among people who get up before sunrise to attend special [...]
Wheat prices, oil prices near all-time highes — no wonder it costs so much to live
Waaaayyy back in the Dark Ages — okay, it was actually 1991 — I had a small amount of money to invest in an obsession I had developed. Wheat futures contracts, I thought, were the name of the game that would make me a fortune.
If you don’t understand commodity markets, commodity brokers, and all the [...]

No matter how they spin it, Obama’s campaign has a problem over sermons
There was a blog excerpt in our local newspaper today in which the blogger (not a local blogger) tried hard to explain that Obama can’t be held accountable for the extreme ideas of those with whom he associates. THEY are accountable for their expressions of hate or whatever, not Obama.
Strictly speaking that blogger is right. [...]
