• Shocking Poll Results

    The Onion nails it. 1 in 5 Americans Believe Obama is a Cactus ”I don’t care what he says or what his people say or what anybody else says,” 48-year-old Kansas resident Jake Nolan told reporters. “The guy’s a cactus, plain and simple. I mean, Christ, look at him.”

  • Required Reading – Vaccines

    Below is a link to an article I think all parents should read. It addresses a very important subject I think many of us have some fears about. An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All To be clear, there is no credible evidence to indicate that any of this is true. None. Twelve epidemiological studies…

  • Educate Yourself – The Five Minute Health Care Primer

    I mentioned, in my State of the Blog post, that I was working on a draft about a controversial subject. It’s not a draft anymore. It’s a post bitches! I have to admit: I’m part of the problem. Despite being a voter and someone who tries to keep up on what’s going on in the world, I don’t understand the…

  • 44

    What follows are some meandering thoughts on Tuesday night’s events. I don’t promise that they’re particularly interesting or insightful, but they do represent how I feel about that historic evening. Oh, and way less then the 18,000 words I wrote four years ago! The front page of Wednesday’s Indianapolis Star blared a one-word headline: HISTORY. I thought, couldn’t they have…

  • Change Is Gonna Come

    I guess there’s some big thing going on tomorrow (or more likely today, depending on when you’re reading this). All I know is I voted last week but for some reason I still won’t be able to buy beer tomorrow, which I think is garbage. This country might be a better place if you could get loaded before you voted.*…

  • It’s Over. Finally.

    Finally, a little political talk. (The Obamas sully the presidency, and demonstrate their hatred for America, with their offensive fist-bump.) I have to admit, as interested and involved as I’ve been in the contest this year, I largely tuned it out following the Indiana primary last month. I was frustrated with the tone the Democratic race was taking, and fearful…

  • Election Day Wrap Up

    Please note a more important post will be coming later today. Remember, we’re making a trip to the doctor this morning. I did not stay up late enough to catch all the drama last night, but I followed some of it. Ironically I was thinking, before results began coming in, that there aren’t any surprises in politics anymore since 800…

  • Big Day

    First off, happy belated Cinco de Mayo to you all. I hope you enjoyed a bag of Doritos or perhaps had some Cinnamon Twists to celebrate the occasion. Oh, and happy birthday to the iMac, which was announced ten years ago today. Well, the big day is finally here. Indiana, for the first time in 20 years, gets a real…

  • Put On Your Rally Hats

    The last time I attended a political rally was in 1992. I figured I was overdue, so I checked out Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s visit to Indianapolis Saturday. The Senator visited in advance of the May 6 Indiana primary, which given the closeness of the Democratic nomination race, is suddenly very important. Here are some observations and thoughts. The event took…

  • Dancing In The Streets

    That’s what is happening all over the Middle East this morning. Why? Because the terrorists have won again. Yes, Indiana’s 7th congressional district elected a Muslim – a MUSLIM! – to represent them in the US House of Representatives for the next ten months. It’s a well documented fact that every single Muslim in the world has the exact same world…
