Not ready yet...not ever ready

I read a list of quotes from some people in Virginia where one of them said "we're" (I assume herself and people of like thinking) "not ready for a black guy." This always seems to be said in a tone of "not yet, maybe later" but what the speakers probably don't realize is that what they're really... Sign in to see full entry.

On Bullshit

Anyone who subscribes to the Urban Dictionary daily word and read where someone was saying that the word "haberdash" refers to bullshit needs to get a real freaking dictionary and look it up. I doubt most owners and operators of haberdasheries would appreciate being referred to as manure... Sign in to see full entry.

I'll have a Rumsfeld, chilled

I think they should take the diet sodas with Aspartame off the shelves and only sell them in bars and call the drink a "Donald Rumsfeld" Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle Pharmaceuticals, inventors of Aspartame and he was the one who maneuvered things in the early days of the Reagan Admin. to get Aspartame...

The new "Business As Usual."

Well it's less than a week to the election and either way it goes there are going to be a lot of people out there disappointed and blaming the rest of the country for whatever the president does. There are people threatening to go live in another country if this one or that one is in office. Good... Sign in to see full entry.

Safe for children? Are you sure?

I was raised on three things, Superman, Batman and Star Trek. However in and around all that I was exposed to most of the fairytales and magical kids shows. Princesses kissed frogs who turned into princes. Cinderella had the pumpkin turned carriage and the mice that became horses. Witches turned... Sign in to see full entry.

My encounter with can'tget-a-word-in-edgewise-man

I went to a benefit to raise money for the relative of some friends of mine and a guy came and sat at our table who was a highspeed nonstop talker. We sat there for over an hour and most of the time I was waiting for this him to get to a landing. What saved things was a performance that was... Sign in to see full entry.

Aging's doubletake

For decades I've said that the warranties on the human body start running out at age 35. Before that point there is a sort of unconscious utopia and euphoria in the minds of many people as far as getting older is concerned and the things that are coming their way. That is not universal. A lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

On the seemingly recent changes to my life

Someone recently said I have jumped on the "liberal" bandwagon of George Bush being evil. They made it sound like I just decided that in the last three months. I've been gone from the Republican party for over five years. If you knew me from that time and we haven't seen each other or spoken in a... Sign in to see full entry.

Set your clocks back?...not today

I have this Emerson smart clock that I bought before Congress decided to monkey with DST. It has some sort of computer on board that was able to calculate the correct time without linking up to the radio time servers. It worked great a few years ago. Well today it set itself back and I decided to... Sign in to see full entry.

Deluded

McCain seems rather sure of the outcome of this race despite the way the stats are looking 9 days out from the election. Now the statistics either bother him or they don't. He maintains that they don't bother him. There could be a number of reasons for that. He could be just presenting a consistent,... Sign in to see full entry.
