An unwitting stab in the back.

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Many pain’s befall humanity in this life. In recent years I’ve experienced the uniquely unpleasant, and equally sharp pain of being stabbed in the back by several relatively close friends… and I’m pretty sure these stabbers are not fully conscience of their thrusts.
Let’s say you had a close/loyal buddy growing up and […]

Kamikaze Robin!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

So, I see my 11 year old in her hoody sweater and baseball hat late today… in the 95+ degree temps. She explains that her and a friend were trying to help a baby robin when the mother robin saw them. The mother bird began attacking them. Before I could ask if the winter garb […]

Che… sans hippness

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Revolution calling… Got no love for politicians, all that crazy scene in DC, it’s just a power-man town…. I used to trust the media to tell us the truth, tell us the truth. But now I see the payoffs, every where I look… Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook? (read: […]

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

By Stephen Lowe
About 15 years ago, I read the book 7 Men Who Rule The World From The Grave, by Dave Reese. It was one of those books that really stuck with me, but I hadn’t read it since. I finally bought a copy this fall, and read it again this week.

TJ’s Wisdom

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

TJ’s Wisdom. This was forwarded to me via e-mail. (I have vetted some but not all of these Jefferson quotes).
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Flat Tax And Buffet Distribution

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

This may not be a realistic fix for stopping our spend-drunk government from bankrupting the nation, but I sure like this idea on the surface.
What if we went to a national flat tax and allowed people to choose the areas of concern where they want their tax funds allocated - (ie: infrastructure, defense, Medicare, etc). […]

Well said…

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

An excerpt from Austin Hill’s 9/06/09 column:
Those of us who know, respect, and care about the unique history of this country, understand what makes America unique. In no small part, we are distinct within the broader context of world history, because there are no kings or queens in the United States; our President is one […]

Small Regrets…

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Tonight, as I watch different YouTube clips of “Saving Private Ryan” for the Umpteenth time it dawned me that I really regret not speaking with my great uncle about his service in WWII…
Seriously, there’s a small regret in my heart… I’m wish I could’ve connected with him more and learned about his youth.
My […]
