Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
One of the best reasons to vote for a McCain victory….
POLLACK WAS LOVED – New York Post SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie “Bernard and Doris,” is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. [...]
Obama has completely changed his tone and his content of his speeches, he no longer even addresses the Hillary candidacy, he has finally taken on the role of presumptive nominee and is acting like one. Hillary is sounding more and more shrill and irrelative.
The question now is if she will be able to go on [...]
Yeah, I know it’s only been a few days since update #2…
I haven’t actually spent that much time on WoW the last few days. I was on and off last night while doing chores and getting ready for the Cosmic Wife’s return. But I didn’t really do anything but some mining and some help for [...]
Well. not really moving to Montana, but I do intend to vacation there this summer and I’m bringin’ a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers. And what will I do with these tweezers you may wonder…
Well I might Ride along the border With my tweezers gleamin’ In the moon-lighty night
And then I’d Get a cuppa cawfee ‘N give my foot [...]
Hmm… I can’t seem to get the image upload to work… I’ll upload an image later.
So, Stonehenge is in the news again. Why there is this fascination for ancient civilizations is a mystery to me.
Well, that’s not true, I am fascinated with ancient civilizations too, and I am intensely interested in the sorts of societies [...]
I don’t want to get into how much I hate “Child Protective Services” and any other government organization that has the power to presume your guilt and steal your children away from you before any due process whatsoever…. I’ll just say that I was waiting for this ruling and I am not surprised by it [...]
So of course I’m trying to clean up enough to make it look like it wasn’t a total disaster the whole time she was gone….
Here’s some of my favorite songs from women who aren’t afraid to belt out a tune:
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while for a potential usable fusion reactor.
2012 baby! If they actually bring this thing to market and it is as efficient and as safe as they say, then our next big thing in energy may already be in the final stages of development.
Next Big Future: Focus [...]
No, I ain’t done yet…
Whether you love it or hate it, the Pop/Rock genre was prolific and near-perfect during music’s greatest decade. While most pop music is forgettable, the 70s produced dozens of pop melodies that have stood the test of time. Artists like Abba, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Halls and [...]
Yes, it was that chilly. I didn’t want to fire up the heater again, so I just used up some of the last of my firewood that was still in the firewood stack and started a fire to warm things up…. It’s not June yet.
OK, so Dadman challenges my “Mr. Mom” update suggesting that my lack of blogging is due to a bleary-eyed compulsive addiction to World of Warcraft, so I felt like it was time to post an update to my WoW activities just to be fair. Plus, it’s been a lot of fun.
OK, so first to come [...]
OK, today marks my seventh day as Mr. Mom with the Cosmic Wife in Kentucky helping take care of her father, who fell and injured his hip. I apologize for the light posting, but it’s been a fairly hectic seven days. She returns on Friday night, so I still have three days to go.
Posting should [...]
Remember when that meant being out of school, jumping on your bike with your ballglove threaded on the upraised handlebars of your banana bike and a bag with a peanut butter sandwich and some crackers in it for a day full of sun, fun and lots of running?
Those were the days man…
I am somewhat familiar with the concept of lakes created by earthquakes because of the large number of lakes created by the New Madrid earthquake along the Mississippi River in the mid-nineteenth century.

We are less than an hour away from the next Mars probe landing on its surface. Cross your fingers, Mars probes have a roughly 50/50 chance of success historically.
APOD: 2008 May 25 – Phoenix Lander Arrives at Mars Explanation: Will Phoenix survive its landing today on Mars? Phoenix’s landing sequence will ramp up starting at about [...]
Hillary attempts to explain her RFK gaffe. In doing so she asserts that it is perfectly reasonable to use RFK’s assassination as a reference point since he was still campaigning in June and she intends to still campaign in June. Of course that’s all she meant. Right.
Now let’s forget for a moment that this is [...]
In case you missed the bloated, overwrought extravaganza otherwise known as the American Idol finale, it did have at least one good moment: Gladys Knight has found some new Pips…
Oh, and this was another great song of the 70s, Pips and all…
