Happy 200K Open Thread
Posted on June 29, 2008 by nuke
Since October 06 on WordPress, with visits from our Contributors excluded from the counter, 200K is a nice number for our small but dedicated blogsite. Thank you readers. On another note, I was watching a TV movie that had the following song in the closing credits, and I thought to myself, “Dang. That’s sounds like [...]

Arts and Crafts at MeeMaw’s House
Posted on June 28, 2008 by swampie
Jacob squealed with joy as Mommy and Daddy walked through the door. “Mommy! Look at my Pirate Sheep!” He happily ran to the table where a sheep skull was painted glossy blue and purple. He held it up proudly. “Look! I dug it up and MeeMaw let me paint it!” Poor Daddy looked aghast. “Well, [...]

Another week in the can
Posted on June 27, 2008 by nuke
Several interesting comments on the Chuck Norris thread (Chuck Norris doesn’t drill for oil, he sticks his finger in the ground and the spinning of the earth on its axis drills the hole) left me wondering whether or not to jump in. I’m still there, pondering. I’ve followed developments on the alternative energy front for [...]

Shira bat Sarah from Gulfport challenges all to lend a helping hand to our friends in the Midwest, through donations of time, prayers, and money: Let’s give them a hand up. Those who face the task of stripping their homes and businesses of sodden furnishings should have the comfort of those meals and smiling faces. [...]

Hope and Change in the culture wars
Posted on June 19, 2008 by nuke
The would-be First Lady of the 2004 election cycle was often the target of criticism for her off-the-cuff remarks on the campaign trail, and for her support of left wing advocacy groups. So much so, in fact, that The H.J. Heinz Co. sent out 50 letters to news organizations to “squash rumors circulating on the [...]

Laissez-Faire Lawn Care
Posted on June 16, 2008 by swampie
My attitude towards branches, leaves, etc. that fall out of the trees in the yard is more or less laissez-faire. If the branch falls out of the tree, and the leaves fall out of the tree, then let them lie under the tree to nuture the tree. I believe in recycling nutrients. Or something. Just [...]

Good grief, it’s Friday already? Since deciding to cut back on blogging activity a couple of weeks ago, my time away from the blogosphere has become more productive. Big surprise, huh. We put the house on the market, found a small place with some land a few miles out of town that we should be [...]

The Obama Record: Out of touch
Posted on June 9, 2008 by nuke
I spoke last week about the Obama coronation speech in St. Paul. Obama is clearly sensitive about his lack of a substantial record to stand on. I don’t blame him. Whatever thin record exists, Obama has shown that his position on key issues is hard left. Although he wants to position himself as the candidate [...]

Texas Mourns! ARSON!!
Posted on June 8, 2008 by no2liberals
The Texas Governor’s Mansion was set ablaze by some miscreant early this morning. For me, and other Texans, this act of depravity is simply incomprehensible, and I sincerely hope that as soon as the law of man punishes him/her, that the Good Lord will impose his own punishment. The Governor’s Mansion first opened in 1856, [...]

Energy scams have been around as long as I can remember, some promising to deliver a simple increase in fuel economy, others more elaborate and outlandish. And every few years or so, a new inventor will unveil the latest incarnation of the “perpetual motion” machine. They come and go, most failing the smell test long [...]

Where Have All the Juke Joints Gone?
Posted on June 3, 2008 by swampie
Bo Diddley’s death brought to mind a question that has been bothering me recently. All around the county are abandoned buildings that used to be juke joints. People gathered for drinking, dancing, fighting, and live music on Friday and Saturday night (and maybe Sunday, too). James Brown played in the black juke joints ’round here [...]
