Today is the day: businesses that buy their Microsoft operating system licenses in bulk can put Vista, the latest of the Windows line, on their PC’s starting right now. But while there are stories popping up to discuss the rollout, every one of them in the MSM that I’ve read seems to be missing something [...]

In my post yesterday about the ruling that the printing of money the way we’ve been doing it is discriminatory, I made some statements that apparently need clarification. I’ve also had a few more thoughts on the matter that I feel like expounding upon, so… here goes. Jason commented on my post yesterday and took [...]

Just caught a breaking news item over at FoxNews.com that a federal judge has ruled that American paper money is unfair to blind people. Un-freakin’ believable. Details to follow. Addendum: Here’s the story. By keeping all U.S. currency the same size and texture, the government has denied blind people meaningful access to money, a federal [...]

I caught wind of this while away for the holiday and thought I’d wait until I got home and was able to peruse the local papers for details. The large north-south connector road in this neck of the woods is Route 28, a.k.a. Sully Road. Not to sound ancient, but when I arrived here back [...]

One of the more important features of my political stance deals with securing our borders against illegal entry, mis-identified by the media as “illegal immigration.” I’ve written about the topic on many occasions and my stance is pretty clear: illegally entering this country is 1) not immigration, it’s criminal trespass and 2) it’s not fair [...]

This just in: The UN has managed to discover the Sudanese government-sponsored terrorism against its own non-Muslim populace. And they managed to find it only a few years after it’s been splashed all over the blogosphere by hundreds, possibly thousands, of bloggers. Nicely done. And this is the outfit we’re supposed to trust to fix [...]
