Interesting article at the DU. They always give good copy. Would be interesting to know if any of them are listening. Jason Bradfield makes some good points, which I do not hate to admit. It is something I have said for a long time. We are all Americans. We may not always agree, and lately […]

Seriously. The BBC’s link to a profile on Bernard Kerik is entitled "Bush’s New Rambo." That title aside, it is a rather good, and impartial, profile on Mr. Kerik. What it comes down to is that Kerik is a great choice for the position. As a former top cop, and one who has won the […]

Looks like President (re-elected) Bush’s trip to Canada wasn’t all about mending fences, and telling the Canadians to get their butts in gear. When George W.

Interesting arcticle (opinion) from Jason Stark at ESPN. Let’s put this mess in a little perspective. This isn’t the Black Sox. This isn’t The Strike that Ate the World Series. In many ways, in fact, this probably isn’t even as scandalous as the late, great Collusion Fiasco back in the 1980s. But now that we’ve […]

I would like to thank all the wonderful people I have seen in person the past few days, at least one of whom is attempting to give me their cold. I know it isn’t the flu, as I am not coughing my brains out, like usually happens, nor is the world coming to me through […]

Ever since I posted an article on a teacher at Rowan-Cabbarus Community College being suspended for showing Fahrenheit 9/11 in class, I have kept an eye, every few days, on any new information. Not a thing, as of this time. I have a few emails out to some of the more local news sources, will […]

Courtesy of Jeff Quinton at Fanblogs (he is also Backcountry Conservative), looks like Skip Holtz will be announced as the new East Carolina Pirate’s head football coach. Welcome to Dowdy-Ficklin etc stadium, Skip! Bring us back to respect. More here from the Raleigh News and Disturber Observer, who I would like to thank for not […]

Well, the proof will be in the pudding. Umm, pudding. The NHL and the players’ association will resume talks next week in an effort to end the 78-day lockout and save the season. After nearly three months of silence on and off the ice, the sides agreed Thursday to meet in Toronto on Dec. 9. […]

Voting has begun for most of the categories for the 2004 Weblog Awards, courtesy of Wizbang. Vote early and often. Yes, I just went there. Just kidding. I voted once on a work PC today, and will not vote till tommorrow, even though could do it from home. Scouts Honor. Some of my favorites are […]
