Time Again

2009-03-23T20:07:00.003-05:00

Every so often I feel the urge to get the blog going again. It was great fun when a lot of folks were posting and a lot of folks were reading. It will probably never be like that again. Maybe I'll be the only one who posts from now on. Maybe I'll be the only one who reads. I hope not. But we'll see. I'm going to try to post at least once a week. I hope some of old bloggers will return

Obama and the Media

Black Friday Cometh

2008-11-26T11:30:00.008-06:00

As Thanksgiving approaches, the television and newspaper ads tout the “Black Friday” sales. For me, Black Friday brings a sense of dread. Who would want to venture out to the malls and the stores to do battle with vicious, cold-blooded, bargain hunters? I would rather eat shellfish.One year, though, I did venture out at 5 am on a Black Friday. It was about a week before Thanksgiving

Your Liberal Media

2008-11-15T08:11:00.004-06:00

Here's your liberal media at work again. The media, including NBC and the New York Times reports that ballots in the Minnesota Senate race have been kept unsecured in the trunk of a car. How do they know? They heard it from Norm Coleman's lawyer! Norm is the Republican candidate in the race. And they didn't mention that Minnesota's Republican governor says there is no evidence of anyone

I thought I'd give the email thing a shot so this is parially a test.But as far as the election goes...I'm relieved it's over, and more importantly, I'm relieved that Obama won. I don't know how anyone could defend their vote of McCain after his selection of Sarah Palin as VP. I mean......COMMON!!!! Is she the best the Republican party can offer!!!!

Folks, we made history tonight. Our country will be so much better for it. We have redeemed ourselves a bit in the eyes of the world.Over the last eight years, the Bush Administration shredded the Constitution and decimated the middle class. They have instituted a preemptive war doctrine (Did you get that Ms. Palin?) and used torture in the name of all Americans.Tomorrow, though, dawns a new

Gas Tax Holiday

2008-05-01T11:09:00.004-05:00

Cutting the gas tax would be a gift alright. But not for consumers. It would be yet another gift to the oil companies.It is almost as dumb as the tax rebate stimulus plan. They should be forced to write on the tax rebate checks - "You are borrowing this money from your children and grandchildren. Enjoy!"

No Lyrics Left Behind

In response to seamheads last post, I have decided to dust off some old lyrics and see if I can get some feedback and maybe through some blog team work come up with a completed song. Anyone can play this game so don't be shy, all ideas and criticisms are welcome. Awhile back I tryed this with my own blog page and came up with a great song about long nipples, so hopefully we can do something

Of course I had to rip through a bunch of Cub banners to even see the Wrigley replica.Luckily,

Thank you for our new house.""What toilet?" said her mother, Michelle K."Amen." Isa said quickly. "Is God in your stomach?""Yes." said Michelle K. "He is everywhere.""Does he pull hair?" said Isa. Then she said

Another note about last night's game: During Juan Encarnacion's at bats last night, I was rooting against him extending his hitting streak. Is that bad?They flashed some funny numbers on the scoreboard when he batted. His average during the streak, .288. He had exactly 21 hits in his streak. I guess that's about as bad as you can hit and still have an 18 game streak. Sounds like a lot of 1

A small number indicates a more meaningful season (or some might say, a weak division). No matter how you interpret the numbers, one team is still playing for something, and the other team is merely playing out the season.

Something Must Be Done

2007-05-30T15:47:00.000-05:00

When the free market begins to work in favor of the consumer, something must be done. The Bush Administration will not allow the free market to take advantage of Big Corporations. As I have told conservative friends of mine before, small business and individuals both get the shaft from the Bush Administration. This is a perfect example of both groups getting the shaft.

Her speech explaining her vote for Senate Resolution S.J. 45 indicates to me very sound, conscientious reasoning on her part based on the information available at the time. Read it for yourself. Yes she voted for the resoultion, but she clearly calls for the use of force as a last resort and urges action through the U.N. . It now seems obvious that she, Congress, and Americans put too much faith

Iraq War Debate

2007-02-14T07:28:00.000-06:00

It seems reasonable to me that the Iraq War Debate would be about the administration's new plan. The American people deserve to know what they plan to do differently to make this surge work. The majority of Americans believe we need to get the troops out of Iraq. They deserve a debate that explains why this surge would be a better plan.This seems like a reasonable expectation to me. However,

Here's a new column from Joe Galloway, co-author of "We Were Soldiers Once . . . And Young." The movie is good too. I think it's one of MD's favorites. It is the story of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment in the Ia Drang Valley in Central Vietnam in 1965. Galloway co-authored the book with Hal Moore, the commanding officer of the unit at the time.

Please, tell me someone else out there saw "The Office" last night. It was hilarious. If you haven't seen the show you're missing out.

The economy is going strong!

After reviewing my paystubs for the past 6 or 7 years, I find that I'm earning the exact same amount of take-home pay as I was this month in 2001. That means (taking inflation and COL increasing at approximately 3% a year into consideration) that I am now earning about 15-18% less than I was 6 years ago. Aren't we supposed to get richer during wartime? Or is that just Haliburton???

Winter Poem

I found this beautiful winter poem and thought it might be a comfort to you.It was to me and it's very well written. It's the best piece of English literature I've seen in quite a while. Try to memorize this prose before December .....ENJOY! " WINTER "a poem by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre " SHIT It's Cold ! " The End

Well, I do live and breath. The past two snow days have given me a chance to actually do things like check the blog (which I just realized I haven't done since maybe late september.)Teaching the ELL kids this year has been a huge challenge and a lot of fun and a good helping of frustration, also. I somehow seem to pull three preps out o' my ass every day to teach Language Arts, Reading, and

Pop Culture World Series

2006-12-01T09:05:00.000-06:00

My roommate Josh, Webmistress Aimee, and yours truly, have been accepted to compete in VH1's Pop Culture World Series!!! We travel to the Windy City on the weekend of February 3rd to kick some pop culture asses.Now I need your help. Our original name was going to be "A Chinese Viking Named Aimee", but the name axers at VH1 rejected it, so they went with our back up "Domestic Blend". I think

Court date-update

2006-11-28T08:06:00.000-06:00

We finally received a letter from our attorney with a court date of December 5th. Since we filed this in March it only seems right since it will have been 9 months. No morning sickness, doctor visits or sympathy weight though. Lou's mom has even joked about giving him a baby shower. Even though we all consider ourselves a family already this will make us a household of Harper's!! Hope

Iraq Assessment

Senator Chuck Hagel gives us an honest assessment of the Iraq situation and what the US needs to do. The Republican leadership in the Senate is not like their counterparts in the House of Representatives.

Trying something new to break the thick cloud of sickness that has hovered over the Miller household for the past three weeks (it all started with baby C, who's the healthiest of the bunch now), it seemed time to do some composing. Then it's back to my bottle of Cheratussin and flannel sheets. Ryan Howard seems like a good guy and a nice story, Missouri kid and all. Sure was fun watching him

The Truth Starts to Ooze Out

2006-11-18T09:30:00.000-06:00

This commentary, as the author says, is twelve years late. The Republican leaders of the House of Representatives over the last twelve years are an unsavory bunch. Over this period, the will and the welfare of the American people have been their least concern.The American people have given the Democrats an opportunity to take this country in a new direction. I hope they don't fritter away
