Refactoring this site..

Just to separate things, I’ve decided to start a second weblog for my Life in America entries; that way I won’t be wasting your time when you come looking..
If you care, you’ll find those entries here
I’ve also started a separate blog for the Repellicans ‘cause they’re a mess and I like to isolate messes like [...]

Two More Repellicans

Anne Coulter – Noteworthy only for her capacity to say outrageously false things with conviction.  Nomination accepted.
John Boehner (R) – Minority House Leader, who believe that the government stimulus package should give more money to people to pay down debts or invest somewhere instead of having the government actually spend it in the country thereby [...]

New Name: Repellicans

My wife came up with a new name for the Obama naysayers:  Repellicans.
These folks are not necessarily Republicans because there are a large number of Republicans who are openly supportive of the new president, including, but not limited to, Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina.
Her first nominee for this ‘party’ is Chris Wallace of Fox [...]

Voter Registration Fraud is Not Equal to Voter Fraud

The current mountain out a molehill from the McCain Campaign is that somehow, ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is perpetrating massive voter fraud that “threatens the very fabric of democracy”.
Baloney.
What is happening is that ACORN hires people, sometimes lazy people, who sometimes make up names instead of actually registering voters.  The [...]

Oh No She Di’int!

I was watching the Vice Presidential Debate this evening and I was immediately struck by Governor Palin’s illiterate use of “nu-kew-ler” –the way W says it — instead of the real word, nuclear — as in \ˈnü-klē-ər.
To me, she didn’t have an impressive performance because it was obvious that she was avoiding real, non-scripted [...]

Back to the Stone Age Part II

So I moved to a new apartment, this time closer to the 101, and this time, I can have a cable internet connection.  Hooray!
I also get digital cable, HDTV and HD-DVRs.  All the good stuff of the 21st century.  Or not.
Actually, all of the above is true.  Except the DVR part. 
Time Warner Cable (California) [...]

What More Drilling REALLY Means

The thing that drives me mad is the insistence that more drilling in or around the US will somehow benefit Americans directly.  Ever.
What the oil companies are looking for are more leases on areas to drill in.  They already have hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of acres of leases in the US that they [...]

Back to the Stone Age

Holy Crap!
I am setting up housekeeping here in California and I’m living on the banks of the 101 freeway (read: high-tech corridor) and the apartment I moved into has: no cable Internet service, no High-Definition cable channels, they don’t have Golf Channel and they don’t even have MSNBC! 
WTF!
Coming from Columbia, South Carolina I’ve had [...]

Great Idea!

Just watching the CNN series “Broken Governmen” and former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor asked the question, “Do you think you get a written explanation from the President for every decision he makes?”
I think we should..
