(from the email bag) Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.   No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.   He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't

Do you remember when candidate Obama promised a transparent administration?   Its okay if you don't remember - I have a clip right here of some of that audio. Now, in a further example of  thumbing his nose at the American people,  "Obama's Justice Department has proposed a regulatory change that would weaken the Freedom of Information Act.

What is the freedom of 1 (one) Israeli sargeant worth? Apparently the freedom of Israeli Sgt. Gilad Shalit is worth the freedom of 1,027 (one thousand twenty seven) Palestinians.   This number includes people who have been convicted of murder and others convicted of planning suicide attacks.   Click here for the article from the BBC. This particular prisoner exchange worries me for two reasons

I think we should start pitching "Obvious Open Carry" as a 1st Amendment issue and get the ACLU to defend our "freedom of expression" on that one. Then we'd have ACLU lawyers arguing against ACLU lawyers and honest Americans could save money on legal fees and spend more on ammunition. And doesn't this administration realize that the manufacturing of American made ammunition and firearms creates

James Ussher (1581-1656), was Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland, and Vice-Chancellor of Trinity College in Dublin, was highly regarded in his day as a churchman and as a scholar. He is best known today for Annales Veteris Testamenti, a prima mundi origine deducti ("Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world"), which appeared in 1650, and its continuation,

Yesterday, in honor of Mexican Independence Day, I was wearing my Mexican soccer jersey - the one styled after their 2006 World Cup uniforms. Since we were headed out the door to a friend's house, I grabbed a green cap instead of my standard NRA cap to "go with" the jersey.  The cap I chose has "U. S.

A federal law banning ordinary incandescent light bulbs has already had a negative effect on the American economy — GE has closed its last major bulb producing factory in the United States, creating job opportunities in China. Legislation enacted in 2007 orders the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs beginning with the 100-watt bulb in 2012 and ending with the 40-watt light in 2014. These

From an email I received yesterday about Obama's supposed "Summer of Recovery" : (the emphasis is mine) Two months ago, President Obama proclaimed this summer the "Summer of Economic Recovery," insisting that his $862 billion stimulus bill has yet to make its biggest impact and that we've "turned the corner" on the economy. But where is the proof behind the president's statement? Labor Day is

The entire article can be found here in engineering news. The article's author mentions various pieces of legislation around the world and then makes the observation Is there any evidence that the crooks now have fewer guns? I do not think so. So, in effect, the gun laws keep the crooks armed and curtail the ability of law-abiding citizens to fight back. To put it bluntly, yes.

Recently I received this email from my dad. I can only hope that Chinese government agencies (Communists) employ translators of a higher caliber than those utilized in this example (the Capitalist arm of China).I bought a pen with a light from a man in the plaza in Acapulco last week. The reason I bought it was because he said it helped the "casa hogar de los ninos". Later he showed me a list of

He can run a successful presidential campaign but he can't find qualified individuals that pay their taxes on time? I really can't believe that somebody as smart as Barack Hussein Obama is this ignorant. These nominations of people who don't follow the law and don't pay their taxes is just another example of his attitude that "we won so we'll do what we want". Are any of the Obamaniacs waking

This article from NewsMax.com points up an interesting historical fact that we didn't hear from the main stream media outlets. Although the number of viewers watching the presidential inauguration coverage of Barack Obama was impressive, they fall short of those who saw Ronald Reagan take the oath of office for his first term in 1981. According to Nielsen Media Research, 37.8 million

This may come as a shock to a lot of people but television is not a "right".

Most of the people that I know who voted for Barack Obama were not alive in 1976. I was there but I wasn't old enough to vote yet.This article is a VERY good history lesson for some of us and a good refresher for those who were politically active by that time.

One of the FEW responsibilities of a valid government is to protect the safety and security of it's citizens. To this end there has been *much* discussion as to what should (or should not) be done to protect the southern and northern (landlocked) borders of the United States of America.

The three major TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) have agreed to not "call" the election until after all the polls have closed.According to a spokesman for ABC, the network will only give it's "projections" but it will be careful not to "call" the race.I just hope that nobody is surprised by this little bit of semantic "business as usual" from the networks.

Yesterday (the last day of early voting here in Texas) my wife and cast her ballot. She researched the candidates ahead of time and when she got to the voting booth she was able to vote "Straight Party".Wow.

Really, the title says it all - I took advantage of the awesome early voting setup here in our county and I voted today. Fast and easy and, as an added and unexpected bonus, I even got to have a short conversation with a veteran of the United States Navy. As I walked outside, I was feeling quite proud of fulfilling my civic duty; I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with the clean, fresh air

Just kidding - my wife didn't actually "win" an election but I just got done watching Jay Leno doing his bit on "funny headlines" so I couldn't resist. The truth is this - my wife has been going through the long process of becoming a naturalized citizen. She was sworn in as an American citizen earlier this month and just recently received her voter registration card in the mail. We have

You can see that I didn't post anything here in August or September - I wanted my memories of Matt to stay at the top of the page for a while.Now, with early voting already started and November 4th only days away, I'm going to be hitting this blog with a vengeance.

This morning I got word from my mom that a friend of mine, Matthew McCully, was walking home from work Tuesday night and was hit and killed by a drunk driver.Matt was an aspiring writer and artist with a lot of talent. He was a smart man, creative, inventive and I consider it a privilege to have known Matt for several years.He was a great guy and his passing is our great loss.

Anytime somebody tells you "I want to apologize for what you are about to hear" you can bet that you're not going to like what you hear next. This just makes common sense. And if you've read much of this blog, you can easily tell that I'm (sorta) paying attention to this year's politics.Now (in the way of context), I have been very blessed to have a lot of people that I consider friends in my

The other day while talking with a friend I stated "I know that should not be done because it violates 'Rule 8'." I was wrong - the law I was thinking of is Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8.As penance for my misquotation, here, in its entirety, is Section 8 of Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code.

It used to be that a dear friend of mine (previously a literature professor at a local university) and I would get together on the pretense of drinking over-priced coffee and talk about life. I have no lack of friends but lately I have found myself more and more pressed for time. My friend tells me that our coffees together were good for him but I'm sure that I got the better end of the bargain.

In September 2006 (shortly before his forty-sixth birthday), Professor Randy Pausch was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. In August 2007 he was told that it had metastized to his liver and spleen and he was terminal with only a few months to live. He has acheived worldwide fame for his "Last Lecture" entitled "Really Acheiving Your Childhood Dreams" which was delivered September 18

The funniest thing I've heard lately was from Rush Limbaugh. The other day he said that, even when/if Barack Obama secures the Democratic nomination, Operation Chaos will not be over. He said that he is moving Operation Chaos into the next phase and now he will try to convince Republicans to cross over and vote for McCain.Okay, you're right - that's not funny - it's sad.

This is a short video (with sound) of Astronaut Gene Cernan executing a makeshift repair of a moon buggy with good old American duct tape. I am of the opinion that *anytime* you find an article from NASA with "Duct Tape" in the title, it will definitely be worth the time to read. Check it out.

It has a YouTube video of Sir Arthur C Clarke on the occassion of his 90th birthday (December 2007) and a lot of good links to stories about his death.Here's a good article about his life. By the way, if you've never read his 1953 book Childhood's End, you should.

According to this Washington Post article, the United States Supreme Court is currently reviewing a case that tests the constitutionality of a Washington D. C. gun ban passed in 1976.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Its the name of one of the Democrat presidential hopefuls (in case you've been in a cave the last few months) but the question has become - Is his middle name "too hot"?

So I was surfing around YouTube, looking at videos about presidential candidates and I ran across this one "Hillary Supporter Bill Nelson: Time for Florida Revote" (below).Suddenly something occured to me (I should have thought of this a long time ago).
