Driving up Whitsett again. It’s only been 2 years or so…a year and half since we last spoke - but it seems much, much longer. So much has happened to me since. But I drive past her old apartment, the one I first saw her again after a year apart, the one I helped her […]
LE If you’re not failing some of the time, you’re playing it too safe.
Cephyn @LE my problem is failing almost of the time, since i play way, way too safe and never try at all. i break axioms.
JM @LE @cephyn hmm I have never been good at playing it safe. It bores the […]
The Bill of Rights, contrary to popular belief, does not guarantee a trial by a “jury of your peers” - that stems more from a few lines in the Magna Carta (that actually don’t really even apply). The text of the 6th Amendment reads, ” In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right […]
Today marks 40 years since the greatest engineering feat in all of humankind - putting man on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission. I mean no hyperbole - today’s cell phones are orders of magnitude more powerful than the computers used during the Apollo missions. They really did achieve something that could have been […]
It’s good to see that the ultimate decline of civilization into anarchy isn’t quite here yet. I guess I’ll keep putting money in my 401K and trying to be a good person. That’s pretty much all I get out of a recent study by the AAA. They looked at cell phone use in California since […]
At least, not when the messiah is named President Barack Obama. Repeatedly I have posted here that Obama is not the liberal political messiah, he is simply another politician. The “devoted” leftists might label me a hater, but that is not the case - I voted for Obama in the primaries, I voted for Obama […]
There’s been a lot of anger coming from a lot of America (it seems) towards CEO’s getting huge bonuses even while their companies teeter on destruction and ask for billions in aid from the US Government. And I think that it’s absolutely warranted. To reward these executives for running their companies into the ground, with […]
I posted recently on how excited I was to hear President Obama refer positively to non-believers in his Inaugural Address. And it’s true, that one comment was worth a great deal to me. However, that does not negate the overwhelming presence of religion and god worship in general during the Inauguration. And there really was […]
I love American Political Speeches. I do believe it’s difficult to judge them right away though - most of the great ones are great because of what followed. Of late, many political speeches have become exercises in eloquently saying nothing at all, which is unfortunate. Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address was not one of those, but […]
My fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the […]
