Cool! Go to World 66 to make a map of the countries you’ve visted! My map is below. Here are the states I’ve visited… Actually, World 66 looks like it could be a very cool site. It’s designed to be an “open content” travel guide, released under a Creative Commons license. I’m going to try […]

BoingBoing has an interesting article, calling for the secession of the yankee states. Even Chris Matthews noted on Tuesday night how the states that voted for Bush vs. those who voted for Kerry will split along lines that are hauntingly close to the demarcation between the Union and Confederacy. There was one comment at the […]

Blatently stolen from the National Review Online. —– A Liberal Republican Senator from Pennsylvania and a President — both running for reelection — need to cross a river. The Liberal Republican Senator asks the President to carry him across on his back. “But you’ll sting me,” says the President. “Of course I won’t, says the […]

I never actually calculated how effective the 9/11 attacks were financially for the Al-Qadea attackers. According to Bloomberg, the tactic of financially bankrupting the United States is viable, and has been a deliberate strategy of Al-Qadea. Bloomsberg writes in this article that the terrorist organization spent around $500,000 on the 9/11 attacks, and so far, […]

While I really don’t care much for Halloween, I thought this was a pretty cool design. Combine pumpkin carving with classic video games, and you get… 1upkin!

I could understand former Congressman Bob Barr’s thinking when he wrote the following recently: Voting for president used to be so easy, at least for a conservative. There was the Republican candidate. You knew he generally stood for lower taxes, less government spending, giving fewer powers to the government, lower deficits and a zealous regard […]

I think one of my bigger gripes is that so many excuses that are coming from Bush Administration about the whole Iraq war, and no one can just admit “We were wrong…”. As blogger Al Nye writes, “President Bush and his Administration never acknowledge making mistakes. In fact, Bush admits that even with hindsight, he […]

As I start to reach middle age, I’m starting to take notice of life’s smaller pleasures. Take, for instance, my Zebra Sarasa gel pen. Before I can explain the goodness that is this pen, I must first make sure you, the dear reader, can understand the history of my frustration with pens, mostly stemming from […]

Just received this email from an associate of mine on the Reformed Theology Discussion List. In a previous post, I asked to see “just see one person in the Constitution Party find fault with the Constitution on Biblical principle”. Well, ask and ye shall receive: Tom, I’m your man for that. I’m a registered member […]

As a matter of settled policy, Bush has observed Ramadan in the White House, conducted a polytheistic worship service in the National Cathedral, offered reverence in a Shinto shrine in Japan, and so on. Many of these things, if done by a liberal Democrat, would (rightly) have had Christians up in arms. But with Bush, they go along.

The election looms ever closer, and I’m realizing that I need to make a decision who I’m going to vote for in the upcoming presidential election. For those of you not paying attention, my available choices follow: George W. Bush – Republican John Kerry – Democrat Ralph Nader – Independent Michael Peroutka – Constitution Michael […]

You need to see Jon Stewart on Crossfire. Tucker Carlson looked like his head was going to explode. You can download the BitTorrent here. You can also read the transcript here, but it really doesn’t do it justice.

How many times have we heard that the “insurgent/terrorist” attacks in Iraq are limited to particular areas of Iraq (i.e. Fallujah, Sadr City, Ramadi, etc.)? This graph seems to differ with that assessment.

Amazing words from an inmate down in out in America’s prison. It will truly bring a tear to your eye.

“A plan is not a litany of complaints, and it’s not laying out programs you can’t pay for,” Bush said during the last debate. I wonder why it is that Kerry can’t afford his proposed plans? Could it be because the federal government is already up against the legal deficit limit?
