New year, resolutions, and focus

2 January, 2012 (10:27) | 2012 Elections, Blogging, Politics | By: ricjames

Welcome, my friends, to 2012. It’s the usual thing at this time of year to make resolutions and here’s the first of mine: I’m getting back to writing this blog like I did before. I’ve had dry spells over the past year, a lot of that recently dealing with being one of those people who [...]

Being pretty much forced into upgrading my blogging tool so… this is a test!

Apologies for comments behind.

4 September, 2011 (16:19) | Blogging | By: ricjames

My apologies to several folks who had left comments that were, for some reason, jammed up in my approval queue. I have approved them all and they are now up for anyone to see. I’ll try to keep a closer eye on that.

From Powerline: “Doorbell”

13 August, 2011 (23:17) | 2011 Elections, 2012 Elections, Blogging, Economy, Politics | By: ricjames

PowerLine, that blogging powerhouse that has risen to be a perennial favorite in conservative circles, highlights this wonderful political ad. Really hits home:

Mobile Test

28 May, 2011 (15:31) | Blogging | By: ricjames

As part of my relaunch efforts I’ve been re-assessing my tools and one of those is my mobile blogging app. Fortunately, WordPress offers a BlackBerry app just for this use and I have to say it’s looking good! I’ll have a post up later on the LCSO open house in Sterling earlier today. Until then, [...]

Relaunch – “Who’d a Thunk” it would have taken this long?

8 January, 2011 (11:44) | Blogging | By: ricjames

Yes, it’s been a while. I’ve been writing blogs in 1 form or another since late 2001, the very 1st such entry on the night President George W. Bush announced on TV that US forces were engaging the Taliban in Afghanistan in the process of going after Al Qaeda. That was before the term “blog” [...]

Blogging suspension

19 October, 2010 (00:31) | Blogging | By: ricjames

A project of a personal nature has come up that will require all of my time. I don’t want to have to stop blogging but I see no way around this for the time being. I hope to return to this in several days but I can’t be sure how long it will be, yet. [...]

Items of note and a light blogging alert

16 October, 2010 (10:21) | 2nd Amendment, Blogging, Immigration, Law, Politics | By: ricjames

Just wanted to raise a couple of items of note this morning. First, I’m attending a wedding later today so blogging will be light. Hopefully I can comment tomorrow on a couple of other items, namely: A Wisconsin judge has ruled that WI’s ban on concealed carry is unconstitutional. Interesting. I’m looking for the ruling [...]

Items of note

24 September, 2010 (08:53) | Blogging, Economy, Politics, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

It’s been a very busy week at work, forcing me to pretty much keep my head down and even necessitating multiple after-hours conference calls. That’s unusual, to be certain, and it’s kept me not only from blogging but from even reading the news as I usually do. Since “the storm” seems to be lifting, I’m [...]
