Now here's a ad campaign all of America should get behind.  We're Americans!  Yeah, we've had our crises, but we grow from them.  We have a government that gets unresponsive to the people, but no politician lives forever!  We have depressions, recessions and hard times, but even in those we have time to cut loose and let go!  This is the heart of the American dream!  It's not about what we have, but what we do with it.  It's not about who we are, but what we do...

The day you've been waiting for has come.  No longer do you need to lay awake nights, anxiously anticipating the unvailing of...THE LEGO GUITAR&MY GUITAR ROOM!By way of review, for any of you who missed out on my announcement and update of this project.  The east wall of my Guitar Room has been woefully bereft of adornments.  After my daugher left for college, it didn't take me long to claim her old room as my Guitar Room and decorate it accordingly.  While the other wall...

The "Mexican" Holiday celebrated my Skydivers in Canada, Air Guitar gods in The Cayman Islands and Cerveza drinkers in Malta, and the USA...

But except for the state of Puebla.. It isn't celebrated in Mexico.;~D

Madison Wisconsin is about as liberal as a city gets. This is the kind of place where you find Che Quevera posters on street bulleton boards and the only reference to Bush will be preceded with "impeach" or followed with Sucks.  It's a place where people trash Nancy Pelosi because she's too far to the right.

Britney Zimmerman was a 21 year old student at UW-Madison. Being a law abiding citizen, she didn't own a gun... after all, why would anyone need a gun in a downtown apartment.  ...

48 aBe ye therefore bperfect, even as your cFather which is in heaven is dperfect. Matt: 5:48 

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus charged the people to be perfect.  Not only perfect, but "as your Father which is in heaven is perfect".  Notice he didn't say, "be good", or even, "do your best"... he said be perfect.

We know that we can't be perfect in and of ourselves.  We also know that we can't make ourselves perfect in this life, or the next.  The only way we can b...

To the Soviets May Day was a day of celebration. To the Western World, a sort of second Labor Day. To the Pagans, a spiritual celebration...

What has it become?

A day for every left wing whiner to spout off about their cause celeb.

So, Happy Left Wing Whiner Day!

Ok, now that Obama has completely separated himself from Rev. Wright, I have a question for Democrats...

Back in the last presidential election, Michael Moore was wined, dined and given a place of honor at the DNC convention.  Why?  Because he said exactly the same things Wright said.

Cindy Whatsitsname was a media darling.  Ever word that came from her lips was carried through the media like a clarion call.  Why?  Because she said exactly what Wright has said.

Ok, I just heard what I think would win the prize as the most Stupid protest cause ever.

It seems there are some feminists who take issue with the use of a "stick man" on signs. They are whining that there should be a female equivalent.

Note to the mindless... just picture it as a girl wearing pants, and call it a "stick figure".

Wow, that was SO difficult!

Most 30-40 Somethings go through it at one time or another.  For some people it's merely a phase where they realize that most of the dreams of their youth will never happen; for others, a life shattering drama they spend the rest of their lives regretting.  Nobody knows how it will hit them, or what demons of the past it will conjure... in fact, you don't know it's happening until you're neck deep in it.

I am a recent midl-life crisis survivor.

Mine didn't come on like a thi...

It has always been a point of confusion to me when people decide to define themselves by some perceived "victimization", especially when the "victim" status seems to be by proxy."The Day of Silence" is a day when students choose to go through the day without speaking. Schools have made accomidations for students who want to participate.

According to "Dayofsilence.org", "The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools."

So, when w...

It's been a surprisingly good week in government decisions. Ok, maybe not this "calendar" week, but the last 7 days. 

First of all, Hoo~AH SCOTUS!  The official line of the Democrat party has been "Voter ID will disenfranchise the poor, the elderly and the indigent".  I notice not one Democrat politician ever bother expounding on that meaningless line.  Especially when you notice that almost every government program the Democrats seem to embrace REQUIRES ID! Why?&nbs...

Willie worked among some of the greats of science, his daily routine including rubbing elbows with some of the greatest, almost greats and friends of the greats of science.  He wasn't the most learned among them, nor was his name destined to be canonized in the journals and "who's who"s of science.  On the other hand, Willie would never Wash Out in science, but he would wash up after those who would... and wouldn't.

Willie was the janitor.  Whether the fruit of the scienti...

 Parated2k would make the best president for three reasons. He will get respect from foreign nations, he has all the necessary experience, and he will lead the nation through the turbulent times we face.
First, ParaTed2k would make the best president because he will get respect from foreign nations.See him here digging in for the long haul in Germany...My opponents are known to have racist and sexist members, and therefore having a female or African American president, while an important c...
