There’s thousands of complaints around the nation about the electronic voting machines. “I voted for Jones, and Smith came out,” or similar complaints. Locally, the voting machines were so fouled up that I still don’t know who won, and the count didn’t even begin till 11PM. A wise man once said that without paper ballots, […]
There’s no question about the harshness of Saddam’s rule. He was a dictator, but the infrastructure was intact, everyone had a job, and he pretty well kept together a land formed at the end of WW I which melded three religions and lands together which didn’t much care for each other. He had huge palaces […]
That’s “Nigger,” of course, and if we use it we are racists, in spite of the fact that they call each other “nigger” at times. I have a few questions: Would we be racists if we formed “The United White College Fund?” Would we be racists if we had “White History Month?” Would we be […]
On the CBS Sunday Morning show of October 28th, a segment dealt with the software which allows total reconstruction and alteration of any photo. The fellow being interviewed has had 40 Time covers, the most famous being the one where OJ Simpson had his complexion darkened to make him look more threatening. That alteration got […]
That’s John Kerry, of course. What an ass! He blew a joke, which was intended to make George Bush look stupid, and it came out as a hideous slam on our armed forces. Then he refused to apologize. As one wag on MSNBC this morning called him, “The Republican’s gift that keeps on giving.” Kerry […]

In Vietnam, millions of dead civilians, and in Iraq, over 600,000 dead civilians so far. LBJ personally ran Vietnam, and ran it poorly from […]
I am certain that this will outrage a lot of you guys, but it’s only my opinion, so feel free to ignore it or possibly listen to reason. Football is the only sport which requires full body armor to play, and which sport more often than not inflicts permanent injuries and life long aches and […]
Self proclaimed innocent Jeffrey Skilling has been sentenced to 24 years in the slammer, and fined $45 million for the loss of an estimated $65 BILLION with the collapse of Enron. (Why shouldn’t the fines, if they are ever paid, be distributed to the investors rather than fattening the books of government?) (Skilling’s lawyer has […]
I am sick and tired of spam and junk mail, as I am sure you are. Do you know just how bad it is? Let me give you some facts. 5.6 million tons of junk mail are deposited in landfills each year. 44% of junk mail is un-opened and thrown away. It costs $370 million […]
I am leaving the coffee piece below till Wednesday, because I consider it worth while. But in the mean time, good ole Dubya is going to change directions in Iraq? What can he do other than begin to leave? If a building is burning, one should get out pretty quickly before it takes you with […]
