Independence Day Prayer

Independence Day Prayer

For those sincerely appreciative of this great country, and the relatively cushy care-free lifestyle they’ve been blessed with, may they be granted further blessing. For those who are not… may they be cast out into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For our troops, grant them safe travels [...]

Who’s Discriminating Now?

Who’s Discriminating Now?

There was a time when a ballot measure banning race discrimination would have received the whole-hearted support of civil rights organizations. My how their principles change once the race discrimination is in their favor. I hate bigotry and hypocrisy equally.

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Can you find what’s so outrageously offensive in the above ad? Well, duh… of course it’s got to be the puppy. This little guy is Rebel, a German Shepherd police dog “recruit” who’s been featured recently on police fliers in the Scottish town of Tayside. Now the Muslims in the nearby Dundee [...]

No Celtics On the Olympic Team!?

No Celtics On the Olympic Team!?

The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics apparently had no players worthy of being sent to China to play for the US… despite spending the 2008 season wiping the court with the rest of the league.

Shot Heard Round the World

Shot Heard Round the World

The US Consitution dodged a bullet today… and socialism took it in the gut. In a landmark 5-4 ruling the US Supreme Court recalibrated the anti-gun wingnuts.

Cape Cod 2008 Trip Photos

Back on Memorial Day weekend we went to the Cape. The Cape is always a beautiful and peaceful destination, and this time was no different. However, we did bring along a new friend with us… the Canon PowerShot G9 - the most powerful point-and-shot digital camera you can buy (pretty much). We [...]

Critical Eye Should Be Applied to Local Benefit Concerts

Critical Eye Should Be Applied to Local Benefit Concerts

There is currently a discussion on Albany’s local music blog, operated by CRUMBS.net, over the recent surge in local benefit concerts. It was local music promoter and blog contributor Bill Bucher - a fifth generation firefighter - who weighed in on the topic.
Of the suspect benefit concerts there was one that stood out. [...]

Celtic Pride!

Celtic Pride!

The Boston Celtics just won the NBA championship against in the Los Angeles Lakers! The Finals Series played out - and ended - spectacularly. The Celtics in Game 4 pulled off the biggest comeback in any NBA Finals game ever, and this final Game 6 was a complete dismantling! I love it [...]
