Most days I curse my swimming pool. It’s a pain… something is always breaking… it constantly needs chemicals and cleaning. Opening it is a hassle and closing it is a hassle. But on days like today – when it’s 94F and wicked humid – my little private pool is a wonderful reminder that I live [...]
Will Manly, a reporter for the Hays Daily News (until he just joined the Navy), wrote an insightful small town response to Barack Obama. In “celebration” of Osama Obama’s recent conquest of his party’s nomination I’ve decided to repost Mr. Manly’s letter here in it’s entirety. Growing up in a small town myself I relate [...]
The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog.

Heston was the quintessential iconic male… using his rugged face and deep voice to play all manner of heroes and leaders – Marc Antony, John the Baptist, Moses, Ben-Hur to name a few.

So I voted this past week in my New York State primary election. I’m a registered Republican and was given five choices (Giuliani, Paul, Romney, McCain, Huckabee). I guess they left Rudy’s name on the ballet for posterity. Anyways, I voted for Ron Paul. Why did I vote for someone who had little to no [...]
I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of – it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on in [...]
This post is a version of an email that’s been circulating the internet for years. It’s a great parody of the entitlement mentality poisoning the western world, especially America. OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks [...]
