View Article  An Extremely Long Day
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29


My day began at 6AM with a quickie blog post.  I had to be at church for Altar Guild by 7AM.  I left there at 9AM, rushed home, picked up Miss Beverly Sills, and carted her down to the vet.  She’s having her big girl surgery this week, along with an extreme manicure.  Then came the post office.  I hurried home, emptied trash, then stopped at the bank and Starbucks along the way to the beauty shop where Leroy spent 2 hours doing a color.  Somewhere along the way I stopped off at my friend Josie’s.  Back ...   more »
View Article  How Barack Obama Got His Groovy Money
HE PROTESTS TOO MUCH ABOUT LOBBYISTS
First things first.  Why is it a sin to criticize Barack Obama?  Or, his this his finely crafted defense.  The man is now so defensive it is obvious he is a very petty little despot who cannot tolerate being contradicted.  It is quite obvious this is NOT the kind of person, Republican or Democrat we want in office.  (Try a liberal’s version of why not to vote for Obama)

The moment Barack Obama is criticized he starts doing the crybaby thing about race.  I have news for Barack Obama, I don’t give a rip ...   more »
View Article  How Mike Huckabee Has Changed America
THE LITTLE GOVERNOR WHO COULD

Have any of us stopped to think what a great thing Mike Huckabee has done for this country?  I don’t know if you are old enough to remember the old TV series A Family Affair.  There was a little kid on it named Johnny Whitaker, who had a top record, Every Little Boy Should Be President.  During that time frame he also played Huck Finn, which should tell you something of his appearance.

It was adorable, and he made the rounds of all the variety and musical television shows, of which there were many ...   more »

Why do we need Leap Year?
My sister’s Café Eclectic is getting some good reviews!   I also forced her to admit MY IDEA of wireless was a very good idea!  Rhodes Connect

Why the Mayas used blue pigment.

HOW DOES HE GET AWAY WITH IT?
Is Hillary Clinton getting a bum deal from the press or is she (and he) her own worst enemy?  It is quite obvious she is getting slammed by the press who continues to fawn over Barack Obama.  Bill has not helped her. I still don’t know if he is doing it on purpose or because he truly wants her to lose.  It is though the media has simply forgotten her existence.  If John McCain were not challenging Obama on Iraq, I swear he would also be among the Forgotten Candidate.

MORE ICE FUN AND GAMES
I periodically report on the goings on over at ICE.  I would be an idiot to say that all ICE agents were bad.  They are not.  But there are enough rotten apples in the bunch to make the others look bad. If ICE is to be a worthy agency, doing work deporting truly evil individuals and “protecting” the US, then we need to get rid of those agents who are not exactly ready for prime-time.  There are enough reports of things going wrong, of agents ignoring the law, and of prisoner abuse to raise an ...   more »

THE GREAT CAT SOAP OPERA
Mommy Cat is pregnant again.  She has no shame.  

Sorry for the lite posting today.  I have an article due before I leave for Tombstone this weekend and need to get the first draft of it to the editor.  Yes, it’s about Tombstone.  This time though, it is about the Vendetta Posse through the eyes of Endicott Peabody.  I’ve also been working on a few other things, and getting ready for 10 days in Tombstone.  Making things even more interesting is planning a birthday surprise for my mother when she gets ...   more »
View Article  Why Is Congress Probing Clemens and Not Bonds?
ABUSE OF POWER

Two weeks ago my mother told me the Dems in Congress would seek to destroy Roger Clemens but let Barry Bonds get out of jail free, so to speak.  I told her she was wrong.  Unfortunately she is right.

I think we have established that Clemens is self-serving and no one really likes him.  I don’t think he deserves this kind of treatment.  A person is innocent until proven guilty. But when does this just start becoming a witch hunt?

View Article  Blew My Lenten Vow Today = Due to Democrats
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26

Due to the Democrats I unfortunately used my favorite profanity, a word that deals with a barnyard substance, 4 times.

We’ve had an interesting day.  Thanks to the actions of Rumsfeld and Miss Beverly Sills, I think I was able to sleep for 3 hours last night.  I had to be up early for an appointment in Alamo with the parents.  My mother has been experiencing some serious bleeding in the back of her right eye.  She was to meet with a specialist today.  The initial tests this AM indicated some macular damage to the left eye.  ...   more »

View Article  Geraldo v. Ingraham – Same Old Same Old
GRANITE (Pig) HEADED CONSERVATIVES

Today Geraldo appeared on Laura Ingraham to promote his new book.  As usual she was her annoying, hard-line anti-immigration self.

Contrary to what Ingraham says about crime, the newest study finds immigrants in CA commit less crime.

Hot Air has the interview….interrogation   

(Thanks, Sally Vee)  

I think over the past few years my regular readers have noticed that I wax eloquent on the subject of conservatives who have adopted the hard-line anti-immigration stance of some of the worst ‘devils’ of our national character.  I have wondered if these people endorse the same platform of ...   more »
View Article  Sarah Palin for VP?
WHY NOT?

A few of you may know that I’ve been on the Draft Palin  bandwagon for quite some time.  Seems others are now discovering her.  Steve Maloney   introduced me to her last fall.  Now Thomas Cheplick has picked up on the Palin mystique.  Back in August, I did an article about her for Blog Critics.   As I showed in my article, she is a “maverick” in her own right, and could perhaps be the perfect fit for the “Maverick” who is running for POTUS.

OBAMA & HIS LITTLE “CULT”
I have several selections of problems dealing with Barack Obama.  Once again, the MSM is fawning over him, like that very funny SNL skit on Saturday.  They aren’t even complaining when his campaign treats them like dirt.  Would someone like to explain what is going on here?  

First, why isn’t the MSM paying attention to the Rezko affair?
“…A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses.  The money transfer raises ...   more »
View Article  The Zen of Flip Flops
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25
We’ve been having a bit of warm weather.  Saturday morning birds woke me up – and I have a bird phobia.  I think it was nearly 60 that day, but I stayed in all day – the wind was obscene.  Yesterday was beautiful.  This morning things were warm enough that I experienced the abject joy of wearing my favorite (and beat up) Brighton flip flops all morning!  It was a wonderful experience.  I must confess the moment it is warm enough (55 degrees in the morning is my cut-off) I wear sandals all summer. Just being able ...   more »
View Article  BREAKING: The Polygraph Tests Official Release – Expert a Fraud!
DECEPTION INDICATED But wait THERE’S MORE!
When I started on this piece this evening, I was simply going to post the PDF’s for the polygraph, and doing a bit of humble pie.  BUT – since then, there are some absolutely fascinating developments.  First, the polygraph expert used is a fraud.  Second, someone is circulating an email about a fake WPost editorial.  Third, I have an interesting little video by Larry Sinclair.  There is something going on here.  Either the man is telling the truth, or he is a nut job to be feared.  I want to know why White House ...   more »
View Article  Will Mitt Betray GOP, McCain and Rejoin Race?
THE ULTIMATE FLIP-FLOP!
According to the LATimes blog, one of Romney’s sons (Jack )  said Mitt is tanned, rested, and ready, and may rejoin the race if as a VP or if something happens to McCain’s campaign.
“…Because he suspended rather than terminated his campaign, Romney still retains control of the nearly 300 delegates he's already won. Another former governor, Mike Huckabee, remains in the race and is nearing Romney's delegate totals, though few give him a realistic chance of catching McCain, with more than 900 delegates. On some Sunday morning talk shows, Huckabee maintained his belief in ...   more »
View Article  Earth to Be Vaporized by Sun
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24

FUN WITH GLOBAL WARMING:  I wonder how long it will take to spin this one?  Science Daily has the news that the Sun Will Vaporize Earth – in a few billion years.  Anyone who studied astronomy 101 knows this.  But it is fun to watch the Chicken Littles run around and scream that the sky is falling.

What a boring news day, or maybe it is just me.  I spent the day at the Parents’ down in San Patricio.  Not much else to tell, I’m afraid.

AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION

Today my friends (sorta sister) her husband and two daughters joined me at my parents’ in San Patricio for dinner.  For those who are curious, it was my mother’s special spaghetti sauce, and was quite good.  She also had fresh, organic leaf lettuce which was incredible.  The highlight of the meal was when my mother was lamenting the demise of some incredible 1980 Kenwood Jack London Cabs.  She opened one last night which was bad.  So I opened one. (Sigh, purr, expressions of abject joy).  It was wonderful.  (sigh) It has a nose of honey, with oaky, ...   more »

New results have been published revealing that a top polygraph expert says that Larry Sinclair is lying in parts of his lie detector test.

"...Dr. Ed Gelb, Former President of the American Polygraph Association was the Polygraph expert selected by Whitehouse.com. He has done over 30,000 polygraph examinations over his long career. There were two polygraph tests administered by Dr. Gelb on Friday. the first polygraph asked Mr. Sinclair on his sex claims. The second polygraph test asked Mr. Sinclair on the drug use claims. There was deception indicated in both tests. As mentioned yesterday Mr. ...   more »

I have learned to live by two specific things The Sermon on the Mount and The Praise Verses from Thessalonians.  I believe so strongly

Rejoice always
Pray without ceasing

that I’ve even written a book about it, along with all the praise verses in the Bible.  

In fact, I wrote the book during Lent 2000. Earlier that year I went through a personal and romantic disaster.  My (almost) fiancee basically trashed me to the point where there was nothing left of my self esteem or of the real me.  While I now ...   more »
