In my previous post, I said and now, we boldly go into a new future for America, Americans, and the World. I want to throw lots of stats out to show you what the world things. I have mentioned before that I subscribe to The Economist, a decidedly stodgy old conservative British publication. They opened […]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This from the Declaration of Independence. I once used that quote in a story I wrote. I’m using it here. […]
I have just finished two more books. Flights home from Vegas will do that to you. I read Neil Gaiman’s new “ The Graveyard Book ” — and it was fantastic. Really, really good. It’s a nice little young adult fantasy novel involving a real boy who lives in a graveyard. There’s nothing specific I […]
Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama for winning a decisive, historic victory. The electoral college will show a huge win. The popular vote will show otherwise — it’s pretty close like the last two elections. Less than 10% is still close, but it is a mandate by the people and a sign that it’s time for […]
A few people have asked about my jokes list. If you’re not on it, it’s here. I will warn you that at some point you will be offended and your complaint about it will fall on deaf ears. My elliptical exercise machine arrived today. My exercise bike is now redundant. I will begin using it […]

Today marks a special day in my blog. We have recorded not long ago our 200,000th hit. And to be clear, my personal hits are specifically excluded by the tracking software 🙂 I want to thank my loyal readers, though few in number, a lot of those are your repeated hits reading my entries. I […]
Call me paranoid, but I am greatly concerned about this upcoming election. I see a number of scenarios in which the Republican Party tries to steal the election. I don’t believe it’ll be McCain’s doing because he’s not an evil man, though his running mate is an evil woman. I see possibilities for massive voter […]
I am in the final stages of preparing my documentation for the hiring of an attorney. I got a copy of the “Final Interpretive Results” from the hospital (not the one my doctor did). The stuff not listed seems okay. So I won’t bore you with it. At the C3-c4 and c4-c5 juncture, there is […]
A number of my friends have told me I should be President and that I’d be good at the job. I deeply appreciate the sentiment from those deluded fools’ friends. Actually, I accept their theory as plausible, but I must reject it because: Anyone who wants to president must, by definition, be an idiot You […]
