Brad--or anyone--Since my crash two months ago and had to reformat Drive C, I have added all the necessary updates for W98Sec; but for some cryptic reason Internet Explorer will not let me post comments on the forum. It gives some crazy reason about security, though I have all the latest Windows security updates. HELP! I can still post from my page and also through the backdoor of the forum blogger's home site.
In the “good old days” — if such a phenomenon ever existed — it was reputed that marriage was an alternative to promiscuity or virginal abstention, despite societal insistence that marriage was designed to forge virtuous families. This flies in the face of legal, prevailing “companionate” marriages of today in which starting a family is but an accident or afterthought. The primary motive among young people today — aside from the rarity of “true” love — is rent control eased by living togethe...
As a rule philanthropy is a result of an earlier stage of misanthropy. The prevailing indignation over Mel Gibson’s posture on Jews is ironic since there are those who silently agree with his outburst. Like Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton is for the war but prefers not to sleep with the Defense Secretary. Why would “ marriage” make gays more responsible?--it doesn’t work with heterosexuals. The blogosphere is saturated with frustrated writers and rejected letters to editors. LO...
Talk about GM merging with Renault and Nissan is just another subversive move to lose US identity. Already GM is in the process of again downsizing its assets in this country rather than reaffirming itself. When I was a kid GM was but a shadow for trucks and not very big ones, which were left to White Horse and Mack. Its true identity was in its fleet of automobiles and its bread and butter, much like the economy Ford, was in its Chevy for the average blue collar family. The Pontiac, and the ec...

This is a self-serving reminder to buy my book. http://www.geocities.com/rrjksr/greatreading2.htm It would make a fine gift for the older generation since it takes place during the Great Depression and WWII.
I know male-chauvinists resent liberated women, but is it carrying it too far to court-martial SPC Katherine Jashinski of the Texas National Guard for changing her mind [surely, a woman’s prerogative] by filing for conscientious objector status and refusing to be deployed to Iraq? Why not relent as good chauvinists by patting her cheek along with a loving sentiment: "Okay, honey, return to the kitchen.” "
Chris Rock's Quote of the Year "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon' "
Dear Aunt Blabby: I have a blogging problem. I can’t resist persuading liberal bloggers to join us conservatives in the pursuit of exclusive enlightenment. No matter how rational and convincing my arguments are, I still cannot resist being a smart ass. For instance, I wrote: “I know liberals believe there’s no victory in sight with respect to Iraq, but you should at least acknowledge that we are there and cannot turn back the clock; we should therefore support the US troops and democ...
December 7th has been displaced by September 11. Oh, well, who now remembers the Alamo?
How many of us are willing to go back to the malaise days of Nixon and Carter: 55mph national speed limit, Frequent tire pressure check, Tweaking the automatic transmission and shifting the manual quickly, Frequent tune-ups, Car-pooling, Alternate day gasoline rationing, Using the car air-conditioning sparingly, Turning down the heat thermostats to 68, Air-conditioning off at peak hours and the temperature maintained at 79, The economy switch...
In the wake of gas prices, Tom DeLay, Katrina, talk of troop withdrawal, Newsweek ’s box story “Naughty by Nature” featuring the Ferrari F430 Spider[11mpg city/16mpg hwy] for a mere $225K, upstages the auto TV ads of “normal” autos speeding across America defying conservation and speed limit laws. You see, the Spider has you in its web to do even more “naughty things” with its 483 horsepower and a top speed of 196mph. Only in America...and Fortune Magazine
My inbox We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the USA. Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title "C"ntarea Americii, meaning "Ode To America") in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei "The Daily Event" or "News of the Day". ~An Ode to America~ Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the ...
To be or not to be is a question Iraqis should pose to themselves. To Aristotle there is a difference between place and space or relative space as opposed to absolute space as Kant sees it; religion gives God a sense of place, and there lies the friction of trying to squeeze him into finiteness. This crazy society on the one hand extols virginity, while on the other gives glamor and fame to promiscuity. The difference between a compassionate conservative and a bleeding heart li...
When asked what mistakes He had made, God paused and seemed dumbstruck, then replied, “Like my son George, I can’t think of any, … if I can I’ll get back to you.” How is it a miscarriage is God’s will, but a woman’s will to abort is unacceptable? No one seems to be worried that the Arctic temperature — since it’s all ocean — has been on the rise due to two hundred years of carbon dioxide; on the other hand, when industry develops carbon dioxide below the equator and the Antarctic be...
