On your mark! Get set! MOOOOO!
The pistol shot – which sounds surprisingly like a refrigerator door being slammed on Thanksgiving leftovers – has rung out, signaling the beginning of the Cattle Christmas shopping season. And, On cue, the cattle are shooting out the gates as though the corral was on fire.
The day after Thanksgiving is commonly known as “Black Friday”, [...]
Tempus Fugit
I’ve been meaning to post this since Saturday. In addition to being the much touted Veteran’s Day, Saturday was my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. That’s right- 40 years. In a time when marriages have a lifespan averaging 3-5 years, 40 years seems like an eternity.
To celebrate, I took my dad to an Ethiopian restraunt in [...]

Hat tip: Malkin.
Michelle points to an op/ed written by a student at University of Buffalo. Read it, and understand what’s going on in Iraq as seen from a soldier’s perspective.
Who the hell wants to live in New York?

I’m sitting here on my ass looking at a bunch of squiggly little lines playing out across five different monitors, but that doesn’t sound quite as dramatic, don’t you think?
My new [...]
Malkin: Republicans, not Conservatives, lose
Michelle Malkin writes about how Republicans, not Conservatives, lost yesterday’s election. I agree with her in part. Conservatives lost out a long time ago.
Missing the point
Already the hate mail is coming in accusing me of cheering for a Democratic win in the House. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I want to reiterate something I have said before. The Democrats did not win the House; the Republicans lost it. On the surface they look the same, but they truly are [...]
Lyrics
A while back, I had a feature in which I posted the lyrics to songs that I found inspiring, or songs that I simply liked alot. It has been a while since I posted any lyrics, so I figured I would pick back up where I left off so long ago. This installment of the feature [...]
