So apparently Governor Rick Perry of Texas has a Baptist pastor who’s going off on Mormons. I guess Michele Bachmann has jumped on that wagon as well, haven’t seen it, just heard about that one so… Ya know, we’ve retired in Idaho. There are a lot of Mormons here in Idaho. They make good neighbors. … More »
So…Michele Bachmann…why exactly is she getting support?
Me: Looking at calendar. “Why?” Them: “You watched the finale of “So You Think You Can Dance?” instead didn’t you?” Me: Holding up my fist. “Melanie RULES! Michele Bachmann’s got nothing on her.”
In late August of 1975 I was 13 just a week away from 14 and a week and a half from high school when music for me suddenly changed drastically. If you were like me, you fell asleep with a small FM transistor radio under your pillow playing soft enough so Mom and Dad couldn’t… More »
Mullen Says Pay, Benefit Cuts ‘On the Table’ Yeah, because there’s nowhere else where the military can save money. If I were more cynical, I would say it’s someone’s “sneaky” idea to kill the volunteer service and go back to the draft. If I were more cynical.
If I see one more politico or blogger who I used to respect stand up and tell me that Paul Revere actually WAS warning the British on his midnight ride, I’m going to vote for Obama just out of sheer spiteful frustration with the WingNuttery of it all. No, it’s NOT worse than 57 states,… More »
I’m gonna say it: I’d rather see another Batman, Iron Man, or even Superman movie that go see Thor or The Avengers. I just don’t care.

I saw an online headline in the past couple of days that read, “Teachers wonder: Why the scorn?” Had a similar question pop up from an old friend from high school on Facebook. It also came up up last election season when yet another old friend was running for some position in California (he’s a… More »
Making extortion and racketeering seem downright patriotic since the 1930s.
So, it looks like the mosque in NYC near Ground Zero has cleared another hurdle. Seriously though, the NYPD is against it, the NYFD is against it, the families of those who died that day are against it. Having known and befriended just a couple of NYPD’s finest in my life, I have to wonder… More »
About a month or so ago I got another trim at another one of those discount “Master Care Hair Care Performer Care Clips Care” places and realized that the “stylist” was messing with my hair in such a way as to make sure the ever growing thin spot on the crown of my head was… More »
At some point in the next year, SecState Clinton will resign in protest over something or another and announce that she’s running against President Obama. Five Six Reasons: James Carville has come out at least twice with great ferocity against President Obama’s inaction on the BP oil spill. President Bill Clinton is openly backing a… More »
…but I quite honestly miss Bill Clinton. At this rate, I should miss Jimmy Carter by the Fall Equinox. Update: I’m not sure whether I should be mad, flattered, or downright scared that I’m starting to think like Rush.
With all the other things going on: President Obama’s running away from Washington to Chicago; This administration making post-Hurricane Katrina look successful; The Obama Presidency throwing former President Clinton under the bus in the Sestak sleaze-fest. You may have missed this bit of news yesterday. I received this from the HQ NORAD/NORTHCOM GROUP on Facebook… More »
President Obama today stated that “taking the fight to the enemy seemed to be changing the momentum of the insurgency.” Yes Mr. President, actually fighting the enemy usually works better than letting them attack you without a response. Are you SURE you spent time in Chicago?
Ya know for two days I’ve been looking at pictures of Elena Kagan and wondering why all the news agencies kept posting pictures of this doffus looking guy. I finally read closer today. Ummm, sorry ma’am, in my defense I DO have an eye doctor’s appointment on Friday.
That seems to be the response from people who met me later in life. People who knew me when I was younger, think it’s kind of normal. Last week I started a program at a local medical vocational college to become a certified massage therapist. It has a lot to do with this mind/body/spirit thing… More »
Sorry it’s taken so long, life’s been busy and about to get busier. Sometimes I have things to say that are longer than what Facebook allows. Most days that’s a good thing. What I do know is that I’m getting more worried for our country as I watch President Obama and his merry band take away… More »
Yawns…stretches, cracks knuckles, cracks neck, cracks lower back “ow-ow-ow…sigh.” Sips coffee. Thinks. Alrighty then. So an “old HS Friend on Facebook” posts that he’s joined “The Coffee Party” (giggle, really? The best they could do?) and so I come over here to see what Mom’s got and apparently she’s been writing up a storm and… More »
The reaction to the death of Michael Jackson. Seriously? With everything going on in the world, THIS is where our attention is focused? I know, I know, circus provides distraction when times are tough, but can we find something less creepy? Also, the hypocrisy of some networks (COUGH–Fox News–COUGH). They basically crucified the man during… More »
News reports here and here. I don’t think ours was quite a non-partisan as others and the petition to put the bible back in schools seems out of place, but all in all, a LOT more people than I expected. Boise’s not know for it’s “activism.” Unless the Feds move in and shoot someone’s dog… More »
In case you missed Adam Lambert singing Mad World last night, I finally found it online. So basically the contest is over, the only question is whether or not he’ll tank it so he can cut a decent record when the show is over. And I haven’t really been watching the show, I just catch… More »
Wow, have I been out of touch, I used to hear about this kind of stuff the same day. I got to hear him speak once, long ago when he was touring with then Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Parish. He always seemed taller and bigger than everyone around him. He LOVED our… More »
I know I haven’t been writing here much. Haven’t had much going on that I wanted to write about. The one big thing on our minds around here is something I’m not very proud of, but thought I’d throw it out here and see if the half dozen of you who still come around might… More »
I hate when you almost run smack dab into a great big wad of dark first thing in the morning. And they you practically kill yourself tripping on the bathroom rug trying to avoid it but you run right into anyways and of course, it’s just dark, so you go right through it and bump… More »
I caught the Inauguration of President Obama mostly on Webcast, in between incoming calls and the flotsam and jetsam of work. I work for my State’s Government and our Legislature is in session and yeah, we’re having all kinds of fun trying to figure out a budget in this economy. But that’s not what I… More »
