Charlie Daniels has blatantly trashed everything this country stands for. He might as well go ahead and burn the flag; he has effectively pissed on the Constitution. He has disrepected and dishonored the American principles that his countrymen have fought and died for, and the flag that stands for those principles. People have died to… Continue reading Charlie Daniels is an unpatriotic asshole!
License Plate Laughs
OK, I’ve been one-upped. I was so proud of my Lick Bush 04 bumper sticker. This morning on my way to work, I pulled up behind someone who topped me. His license plate said FPOTUS. I briefly considered the possibility that it meant something other than the obvious (at least, obvious to me), especially considering… Continue reading License Plate Laughs
Okay, I guess I’m selfish
Today was one of those days with a marginal weather forecast. Last night, the chance of rain was predicted at 70%, with references to showers and scattered strong storms. My brother and I conferred, and decided that unless the forecast improved dramatically overnight, we didn’t want to hunt in probable rain. This morning, the forecast… Continue reading Okay, I guess I’m selfish
Mellencamp’s Melody
In Friday’s Dixie Chicks post, I speculated that an anti-war song performed by a popular artist wouldn’t get much air time. It looks like that theory may be put to the test with John Mellencamp’s new song, To Washington.
Saddam Says
On the eve of our next wave of atrocities against Iraq, Gretchen sent me a link to letters from Saddam Hussein. The site is very slow (and may well get slower or shut down completely), and I haven’t had time to read enough of it to make any profound comments, but I thought it was… Continue reading Saddam Says
You Go, Girls!
I have to applaud the Dixie Chicks. While I’m ambivalent about their music, I admire the courage they have shown in recent public statements about the United States’ mad rush towards war in Iraq. While I realize that it’s common for many celebrities to polish their images by giving lip service to some noble cause,… Continue reading You Go, Girls!
War Blogging
A Wired article alerted me to Christopher Allbritton’s blog about the impending US atrocities against Iraq, and his plans to provide independent coverage of the war. In spite of my pessimistic view that blogs like this are just preaching to the choir and not convincing anybody who isn’t already convinced, I think this is an… Continue reading War Blogging
Weather Sucks ..or.. I\’m a wimp
Despite earlier gloomy predictions about a premature end of the hunt season, last night it looked like I was actually going to hunt today. There had been no cancellation notice, and everybody I talked to thought we were still in the “no news is good news” mode, although I didn’t find anybody who was actually… Continue reading Weather Sucks ..or.. I\’m a wimp
This is scary
I’m making a resolution to start reading The Onion more frequently. Julia steered me to this article. I started reading it hastily, without paying attention to the attached note, and at first thought it was an excellent parody of the past two years. Then I realized that it was actually written just before Dumbya’s inauguration,… Continue reading This is scary
I Feel Better Now
I finally got a horse fix. It wasn’t tremendously exciting, but at least I managed to get my butt in a saddle for the first time since Groundhog Day (that little SOB really did see his shadow). As I mentioned earlier, hunting was impossible due to the ice storm damage, but today’s warm, sunny, windy… Continue reading I Feel Better Now
