  • Standing in a Suit, Repeating Vows

    I found a post by a guy I hadn’t read before, linked from Mark Hornes’ blog. It’s comments on the recent PCA General Assembly, but I really loved his quote at the end: Chapter 1 of [The Westminster] confession seems to be saying this in essence “Stop arguing about the confession. Go do Biblical Theology. […]

  • Chinese Food and the Destruction of the United States

    I’m going to lay out a couple of facts here, and then let you in on my latest theory. If true, this dire situation could lead to the destruction of the United States! Chinese restaurants exist around the United States. Chinese restaurants have different “formats”, including take out, delivery, and the all-mighty buffet style. Chinese […]

  • The Mess of Pottage

    Ron Paul aside, next year’s presidential election looks like it’s shaping up to be a extremely pathetic in terms of who will be on the ballot. From the RINO to the suit, from the semi-liberal to the actor, it’s shaping up to be real circus. What really scares me, though, is not the parade of […]

  • Ron Paul Lawn Signs

    I’m seriously considering putting in an order for Ron Paul Signs, (you can see them on display here). However, they’re running for $165 for a lot of 100 on Ebay, so I may need to wait until I get my allowance next month. Once I do pick them up, I’ll let you all know, so […]

  • The Decline of Western Civilization

    Found an editorial in Crisis Magazine, linked off reddit, by Mark Shea called “Insensitivity Training: Facing the Crybaby Culture“. After spending a good amount of time describing some inane, and often unbelievable examples of people whom you would think are getting paid to be offended, he ends with this advice for these whiners. Consider the […]

  • Mr. Wizard Died Today

    Mr. Wizard, the man who taught science to millions of geeks when we were kids, died today of cancer. read more | digg story

  • Taste of Sumo

    For those of you who have never seen a sumo match, load up your bittorrent client (I use Azureus) and download this torrent. This is the final day of the sumo tournament going on right now that I attended last week. The video is two hours long, and is just the Makuuchi division (the 40 […]

  • Ron Paul on Bill Mahar

    I know, I know. I just got back from a Tokyo, spent a day soaking in an onsen, watched the sun come up in a shouchu bar, and watched the yokozuna get beat during the summer sumo tournament in Ryogoku, and here I am posting more Ron Paul videos. Apparently, while I was gone, Ron […]

  • Ron Paul Invited to Next Debate!

  • Ron Paul Clips

    Here’s a youtube video produced by the Ron Paul folks that show some highlights from the recent debate on MSNBC, plus some endorsements from folks like Pat Buchanan. And here’s the comments from the McLaughlin group:

  • Giuliani’s Ferret Fetish

    You need to listen to these comments by presidential hopeful, Rudolph Giuliani, to a New York ferret advocate. Worse than displaying his sheer idiocy, his rant shows how this guy thinks. In 1999, Mr. Giuliani passed a law banning ferrets in New York City. Now, I’m not really an animal guy. However, as long as […]

  • Republican Debate Tonight on MSNBC

    A debate between the Republican presidential candidates will be shown on MSNBC tonight. Here’s the list of candidates who will be participating tonight: Sam Brownback Jim Gilmore Rudy Giuliani Mike Huckabee Duncan Hunter John McCain Ron Paul Mitt Romney Tom Tancredo Tommy Thompson There’s rumors that seven of the ten candidates are in danger of […]

  • 5 Vegas Gold Robusto

    Wow. I snagged a great deal from Cigars International, thanks to my new friends at the Club Stogie Forums. The first one I tried tonight was a 5 Vegas Gold Robusto, and it was a nice surprise. After spending my time recently smoking through my rather strong Fighting Cocks, I was ready for a nice, […]

  • 2007 Memorial Day Pig Roast

    This is the official invitation for the fifth annual Memorial Day Pig Roast at the home of Tom and Sarah Albrecht on May 28, 2007. After going back and forth for a while, we decided to forgo doing an entire pig this year. We’ve found that our parties end up having a lot of kids […]

  • Did Gun Control Help?

    I hate to be opportunistic regarding the recent massacre (there really isn’t a better word) at Virginia Tech yesterday, but since the gun control crowd has already started beating their drums, I thought that it would appropriate to point out that this tragedy proves exactly why gun control is a bad thing.
