Borat - My Review

You will be dumber after seeing this movie. I was. Borat is one of those movies that seems just a little disappointing while you’re watching it because the sheer creativity of the concept makes you want to like it. Sitting in the theater I heard a lot of laughing but it was that laugh people give... Sign in to see full entry.

Cigarettes, Coffee and Sandalwood Smoke Make Me Contemplate

Where does that river take us? Are swept out to sea in a glorious sunset? I'm like the Stones River here in Nashville: looking for a free flowing easy course but waiting for the Army Corps of Engineers to administrate the way. The river above flows straight from a glacier to the North Atlantic. Here... Sign in to see full entry.

Placing Myself On The Map, TR Style

I like maps. I use them as wall hangings and read them like books. Obviously I like to know where I'm going over the land, especially since I have no idea where I'm headed in my own life.

Election Day Reflections

I enjoyed the whole process of election day. I listened to a lot of talk radio and almost called in to let Steve Gill know he and his conservative collegues are often right in their political position but are utter muckrakers when it comes to twisting people's words and actions to fit their extreme...

Chirs Matthews, the Left, and the Race Card

Chris Matthews is the latest in the left wing dominated media to self righteously proclaim that Bob Corker’s slight lead over Harold Ford, Jr. in the race for Senate is because Tennessee is a racist state. I suppose that Ford’s voting record in the House of Representatives has nothing to do with it.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Squirrels Were Concerned and Fidgety

Walking through the woods today enjoying the sunshine and fall colors I heard a great commotion. Mournful siren like wails and excited chirps. Motion caught my eye and I saw a red tale hawk effortless gliding through the trees then rise above the forest carrying grey bundle of fur into the blue. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrat Meltdown - Who's Party Are They?

Democrats would do better if an outline of their party platform was published but no face was attached to it. John Kerry has once again disgraced his party with an ill-thought joke to a bunch of college students. While I don't think he meant what he said in the way the conservative pundits have spun...

A Great Book and Me W/ A Sitka Spruce

Sometimes we have to kill the golden goose to let everybody know the geese are in trouble. This is the dilemna that writer John Vaillant tackles in The Golden Spruce. The book is about Grant Hadwin, a privelidged son of the British Columbia timber industry. Without graduating high school Hadwin... Sign in to see full entry.
