I have had it up to the proverbial HERE with Republicans bandying about the terms “conservative” and “liberal”. Last night I was referred to as a “liberal” because I disagree with just about everything George W. Bush has ever done.
I believe in a balanced budget that conserves the American people’s money, Bush does not.

I love a good con artist. I really do. In fact, I like a good thief, too. I think both of these endeavors, if done professionally, can really be respected. They take thought and time and years of polishing to be really good.
Con artists, in my opinion, are respectable in that [...]

Through a post on Patrick Nielsen Hayden’s blog, I saw this take on an A. Lincoln letter at Slacktivist.com.
Being the lazy fool that I am I will quote the same section Patrick did:

If you like Bill Maher and his Politically Incorrect show, he has a blog.
I’ve always been a fan of his, if you haven’t checked him out, do yourself a favor and read his stuff. You can catch some of his jokes here. Click on the “Private Stock” link.

U.S. Rep. Vernon Ehlers, R-Grand Rapids, doubted that Congress would go near Greenspan’s [...]

Now that the back porch is shaping up, my wife and I are in the market for some decent outdoor furniture. We have been leaning heavily towards wrought iron. M prefers to have something with a patina rather than the regular black. It’s not easy finding such things, especially this time of [...]

Angie once mentioned that I should say something about our friendship. It’s actually hard to say anything about it, because it is such a given in my life, like air or sunshine. It’s good to have friends that you always know will be there and that you can pretty much say anything to and [...]

My Dear Wife and I have been busy little homeowners in the past few weeks. We have spent years (close to 3 now) remodeling and general transfiguring the innards of our abode. Now we have started on the outside. The eaves and overhang have gotten a fresh coat of paint in the [...]

I have done more writing since starting this blog than I have done in the decade prior to it. I’m talking cumulatively. Of course, I’m not counting instant messages, as I do quite a bit of that and counting that would blow my whole thing out of the water. So ixnay on the [...]
