Vonnie, Are You Sure You Want To Go There?

June 25th, 2006 · 3 Comments

I’d have put this on Vonster’s “blog”, but comments aren’t allowed, so it goes here:
Vonnie says that communism “has killed 100 million people” in his new sub-title. Um, er, well, where do we start? I’m assuming from his tone and his past, we are supposed to say, “wow, that communism is the worst thing EVER.” [...]

Pro-Life = Anti-Choice

June 25th, 2006 · 9 Comments

Chase made a comment on a thread below, and it reminded me of a recent discussion I had with some of my internet fantasy baseball buddies.
I prefer to call so-called pro-lifers “anti-choice”. Why? Because when it comes to the death penalty and war, they’re usually more eager to pursue and condone the death penalty and [...]

It’s A Good Day To Be A Fan Of Minnesota Sports

June 25th, 2006 · 3 Comments

Ahh, what a nice weekend.
The Twins are red-hot, and two straight over the pathetic Cubs is icing on the cake. The Twins are going for the sweep right now, but even if they lose today, they’ve won the series. Who would have thought the AL Central, with the Tigers, Twins and White Sox, would [...]

Whoops.
Porky Hastert not only brings home the bacon to Illinois, but he goes beyond that and fills his bank vault in the process.
Sickening.

Did You Apply The Same Standard To Mr. Bush?

June 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment

That is a question I pose to Peoria Journal-Star letter writer Donald Frank of Washington today. His letter in this morning’s paper points out his disgust with John Kerry and other “liberal politicians” (there’s that dirty word “liberal” again) for wanting a timetable and a withdrawal date from Iraq, wondering if those people are not [...]

Made-up Words

June 10th, 2006 · 4 Comments

One thing that the political right has lambasted the left on for many years is “politically correct speaking”. And in many cases, they are dead on the money.
But the left doesn’t have a stranglehold on “politically correct” anymore.
The Bush Administration constant comes up with new ways to try to soften a bad situation, [...]

Cars

Yep, went to see it on opening night. When you’ve got a 10-year old, and when you’re personally fascinated by the utter brilliance of Pixar’s animation, you go on opening night.
Enjoyed the movie very much. Paul Newman as the Hudson was perfect, of course I’m a fan of the idiotic comic stylings of Larry [...]

Things That Make You Go…ARRGH.

June 6th, 2006 · 14 Comments

Dudes (and dudettes) that drive 48-52 in a 55, forcing you to follow them for several hilly miles, then speed up when you try to pass, then flip you off when you finally get by. ARRGH.
Drivers that turn left onto a two- or three-lanes wide street…and go ALLLL THHHEEE WAAAYYYY to the right lane. Quick [...]

Who Is More Dangerous? I’m Confused.

June 6th, 2006 · 8 Comments

Which scenario is more damaging:
Two quiet, private men who have been monogamous for 22 years and would like to remain that way for 40 more…or a polygamist who has forced 14-, 15- and 16-year old girls to marry adult men and give birth to their children?
Which scenario is more damaging:
Two women committed to each other [...]

It Boggles the Mind 3: Fast Food Edition

June 2nd, 2006 · 4 Comments

Oh, what an interesting half hour I had tonight:
At 8:07, I arrived at a local fast food chain’s drive thru. I’m not going to name the place, but let’s just say it rhymes with “Fairy Spleen”. I know it was 8:07, because I glanced down to turn the CD player down. The CD player was [...]
