Sigh

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

News like this just irks the hell out of me. This country is headed in the wrong direction and the knowledge of it tears at me constantly. A friend recently sent me a letter comparing our personalities and said this:
if someone steps on our toes, or we sense transgression on the innocent, [...]

More RssReader

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

I’m digging my RssReader v1.0.88.0. The trouble with it though is that it has an endless capacity to provide me with the depressing news of the day.
The thing that depresses me the most with seeing all of these news sources is that I realize now how much time media outlets spend reporting on …well, [...]

Why North Augusta Will Always Be Better

Friday, May 28th, 2004

In the CSRA, the Georgia residents are always somewhat critical of the South Carolinians. But I tell you, North Augusta does a better job running it’s city with much less money than Augusta/Richmond County ever has. They really do more with less here.
I got a letter today from the City of North Augusta [...]

I Shutter to Think

Another Load

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

Here is yet another load of crap hoisted on the American public by the Bush Administration. There are numerous reports of a big Al-Qaeda threat this summer. The problem here is that it is all political CYAing and not a real attempt to make anyone safer.
If Al-Qaeda actually does pull off an attack, [...]

Here We Go, Again

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

My brother is bashing Catholic political grandstanding yet again. Of course, this time he might be right. Or I might have had one too many jumbo margaritas at one of the local Mexican restaurants tonight to give much of a s**t. We will see as this post unfolds.
I’m of two minds on [...]

I’m Not Lying

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

Everybody in the world is going to accuse me of lying about this, but I swear it is true. I’ve got witnesses. My 22 month old daughter picked up a piece of AT&ampT junk mail that we get all the time. She handed me the letter on the AT&ampT letterhead and said, [...]

If They Say They Won’t Abuse It…

Tuesday, May 25th, 2004

…it just means that they have already thought of ways to abuse it. The Department of Homeland Security (or the SS, as I like to call it) and the (In)Justice Department have already had quite a hand in abusing the powers they have been granted after 9/11.
Case in point, Brandon Mayfield, the Oregon lawyer [...]

It’s A Columbia Zoo Out Here

Monday, May 24th, 2004

The girls and I spent the day at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. Very nice little zoo. Not many places to sit and eat, but otherwise very fun.
Emily had a great time and her Mom and Dad did too.
Here is a picture of Marilyn and Emily. Notice the ostrich hamming it up [...]
