    Doesn't anything socialistic make you want to throw up? Like great public schools, or health insurance for all?

    So What Happens Now?

    Go on over and read Joe Bageant’s latest rant.  It will sound a lot like David Michael Green’s latest rant.  Here is the part of Joe’s rant that is the hardest to swallow even knowing first hand that it is true:

    If you have watched any old mob movies, you know that any racket needs a front. In America the front is called democracy. Like the [...]



    "Tomorrow is a New Day" and a New Year

    Wishing everyone the best for the New Year.  Here are a few quotes from a favorite philosopher:

    “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

    “In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key [...]



    Merry Christmas from Vancouver USA

    For those readers in the Vancouver, Washington area, I am sure you will personally recognize the singer in the video below.  That is if you shop at the local Costco.  If you do not, you should.  Costco pays well compared to its competition and really is a great company.  Full disclosure:  I am a member but I do not own [...]

    What can I say.  You do not know how to sing.  You do not have to necessarily know how to be funny.  But technology will make you hilarious anyway.

    if it wasn't for bad luck...

    I once cut off the end of my left-hand ring finger in a buffet-line plate warmer. (It just missed taking all of the nailbed, so I’m lucky to have a weird – but existent – fingernail.)

    I broke two toes on my right foot while swimming by entangling them in the lane divider rope. A couple of years earlier I’d broken one of the same [...]
