Thoughts on the Republican Debate…
This is the first debate I’ve watched this year since it’s the first I caught streaming over the internet. At this point, I essentially agree with this run-down from Red State, as well as Ace’s assesment on Perry’s performance. It wasn’t a knock-out on his part, but he didn’t make any major mistakes. This was basically [...]
On Civic Duty and Paul Ryan…
I haven’t blogged in awhile, and I figured it’s time to dust some cobwebs off. Besides, I feel like there’s something to be said that, although it has been stated before by myself and others in various ways and social media platforms, really requires more than a few hundred characters on facebook and a link. Here’s a question: What [...]
Proms, Lesbians in Tuxedos, and the ACLU
Not sure how many of my 5 readers have heard about this story, but I wanted to comment on it. The gist of it is this: A school district in Mississippi canceled the high school prom because the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of a lesbian student, named Constance McMillen (18 years old). [...]
Thoughts on the hacked global warming emails…
For any of you keeping up on today’s major blog story, I thought I would make some comments from the perspective of a scientist on the controversy. Science relies on open debate. When I first saw the story, my instinct was to give the scientists the benefit of the doubt: many discussions within a scientific [...]
More random canadian thoughts…
So now I am sitting in another Canadian restaurant and bored again. So time for more stereotyping and generalizations… So I watched dancing with the stars last night for the first time. Some of the ball room dance instructors seemed fake and manipulative of their celebrity students…I suppose that’s because they were on tv and [...]
Random thoughts while bored in a canadian restaurant…
I hope my credit card works… Wtf is Canadian food? So far all I’ve seen is non-Canadian themed restaurants and upscale places. I feel lost without my iPhone internet but data roaming is expensive. To me this is justiication for invading Canada and creating a new US territory. AT&T should lobby for it. Judging all [...]
UN watchdog: Israel a bigger nuclear threat than Iran
Is this a joke or do these guys have no sense of irony? At a joint press conference with Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi in Tehran, ElBaradei brought Israel under spotlight and said that the Tel Aviv regime has refused to allow inspections into its nuclear installations for 30years, the report said. [...]
Quote of the day
“I’m convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings. [...]
From 1 of the 48 to the 52
Dear 52, Thank you for your warm-hearted attempt at bringing the country back together with photos and words of support. I’ve noticed that many of you have booked an event on facebook wanting to treat a Republican to lunch. Well, I have to say that I am rather surprised, so I have my own pictorial [...]
