Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
I think this young lady, Joss Stone, has one of the sexiest voices I’ve ever heard. I invite the other old fogeys who frequent this blog to plug in their earphones, settle back in a comfortable chair and listen to the song I’ve posted below. If you don’t think Joss has a sexy [...]
So, this photo is the lead photo on CNN.com as I type this. Again I am asking “do you see what I see?” when I look at this photo?
Under Colorado that is. I’ll be heading to Phoenix this weekend, a short trip with a specific purpose, but it will give me a chance to see Dadman face-to-face again.
I’ll be heading out Saturday morning (tomorrow) and spending the day Sunday in Phoenix, and then driving back on Monday morning. It’s roughly a 12 hour [...]
So I’ve been parsing through a lot of Obama’s rhetoric and what I am finding is that besides the “empty” promises of change and hope, there is actually quite a bit of stuff in that flowery oratory. For example, when Obama promises a “tax reduction” for 95% of Americans, what that means is that he’s [...]
It’s Linux, but I am seriously considering getting one…
Use facts.
Like this one.
Polar bear numbers up, but rescue continues Nobody talks about “overpopulated” when discussing the bears’ outlook.
Yet despite the Canadian government ’s $150-million commitment last week to fund 44 International Polar Year research projects, a key question is not up for detailed scientific assessment: If the polar bear is the 650-kilogram canary in the [...]
SI.com – Recap – News and Scores from Sports Illustrated Now that they’ve won the World Series, the Philadelphia Phillies get to celebrate with a parade down Broad Street on Halloween.
Does anyone care?
Irony is so much fun…
Snow blankets London for Global Warming debate • The Register Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday – the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time, in a marathon six hour session.
Consider this a shadow of things to come. Expect much more of this when the Obama Thugocracy is sworn in in January. Expect Dems to rationalize their behavior (as they do in this article) and ignore the law. Expect linguini-spined Republicans to let them get away with it more often than not…
THE [...]
Arg, there was a time I could work around the clock for days, and still keep my mind relatively sharp. I spent much of my college years working the graveyard shift as a grocery stocker and going to school during the day (and I did a lot of fishing in the ‘down time’).
Now after about [...]
In case you are counting, it is one week until the day America will vote to sacrifice its personal liberties in the pointless pursuit of the empty promises of a charismatic speaker with no distinguishable accomplishments in his entire life, and whose stated goals are to institute a socialist “paradise” on earth.
Mark it down in [...]
This toon captures an unfortunate truth and probably best explains why Republicans are in so much trouble this election cycle…
So, I’m not supposed to talk in any depth or detail about this case on which I am presently serving as a juror, but I will say that so far it’s been a case of 10 year old dualing memos and e-mails between government bureaucrats.
It’s truly, truly mind-numbing…
This is a powerful and heartfelt story that somehow managed to get approved by the very editors at ABC that the reporter vilifies (appropriately imho) in the story itself. I have to give ABC some credit for having some semblance of responsibility left in actually allowing this to get published.
ABC News: Media’s Presidential Bias and [...]
Check out this viral video of Cebu, Phillippines inmates gettin’ down to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. Apparently, these large choreographed performances are an integral component of the rehabilitation process in the Cebu penal system. I gotta say, I think this is pretty cool. Even if it fails to help in the rehabilitation process, [...]
…through ‘heavy taxes’ on the rich. Here’s an interesting article on the issue over at MSNBC.COM. It’s refreshingly even-handed, something I rarely find with anything associated with NBC. I think it’s fair to say it’s a complicated issue and certainly the concentration of wealth in a small segment of a society can [...]
I just love this guy. He is frequently called a Fascist by Leftist moonbats and that, of course, makes him a good guy in my book. Now, he’s calling out modern journalists…
MERIDIAN MAGAZINE – Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights? An open letter to the local daily paper — almost [...]
I do, and I’m not really part of the MTV generation… But I was young enough to still be interested in pop music when MTV was, well, Music Television. I think the early days of MTV really demonstrated the power of merging video with music, but I don’t see much of that anymore. Music videos [...]
Some songs that don’t get a lot of love from critics or music lovers, but that I really enjoy:
(embedding was disabled on this one, you’ll have to go look at Youtube)
Just a few, I’m too tired to look for more.
