I got home last night. My wife had the hatch to the crawl space open and the lights on in the crawl space. "This," I thought, "cannot be good ( Read more... ) -
About that good and evil thing...
O.K., as some of you probably recall, I have been trying to define evil. The reason, of course, is so that I can recognize it when I see it and not simply say to myself: "Oooh! That's evil!"

So Sorry--This is a Democracy

One too many...
O.K., I have heard one too many rants about Obama and his poor presidency. Remind me to never be an elected official! I mean really, the guy's trying to clean up 8 years of George Bush's "The war is an emergency and as such does not fall under the balanced budget act." Combined with: "We should unbalance the budget by cutting taxes without ( Read more... )
