Avoid Sudden Movements

If my math is correct, today marks the one hundred and first day Barack Obama has been President.  Three facts about this are worthy of note:

God’s not dead.
Neither are you.
So much for any excuse you might have.

Oh, and you can’t catch swine flu by eating bacon.

You also can’t blame swine flu for the extended derangement that . . . → Read More: Avoid Sudden Movements

Chapter 11 Filing Imminent For Chrysler…

… after talks between the Treasury Department and lenders break down.

So much for everything I wrote yesterday.  Ah . . . → Read More: Chapter 11 Filing Imminent For Chrysler…

Tidying Up The Joint A Bit

I’ve freshened the book’s Web site up a bit.  Nothing major, just some content updating and boring back-end stuff (“oh… you mean if you use a template for the pages and you change something on the template all the pages built from it are actually supposed to automatically update?”).  Still a bit more work to do, . . . → Read More: Tidying Up The Joint A Bit

The Little Company That Just Might

Although it’s not yet a done deal, all signs are pointing toward Chrysler which as recently as a week ago was having space prepped for it in the business obituary column emerging from its dire straits still breathing albeit not getting money for nothing.  If it all comes together, the company should hire Gomer Pyle to . . . → Read More: The Little Company That Just Might

Swine Flew

One of life’s lessons the earlier you learn the better is to expect neither respect nor desired reaction to your anger.  This should come as no surprise.  As Paul noted, “For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.”  If our Lord and Savior can’t get the time of day from us, . . . → Read More: Swine Flew

I Said Diversion, Not Disaster

When I first started this blogging gig, it was August 2003 and my topic of choice was NASCAR.  Couple of reasons.  One, I love auto racing.  Two, blogging gave me the freedom to say my piece without the hassles inherent in the bulletin boards I had previously called home.  So away I went, eventually branching out . . . → Read More: I Said Diversion, Not Disaster

A Little Bit Of Book News

I’m slowly but… um, slowly beginning the process of publicizing the book.  Given how I’m working out of a promotional budget consisting of whatever is in my wallet (translation: very little), I have to be both judicious and frugal when it comes to spending money on the project.  This explains why you haven’t seen any ads . . . → Read More: A Little Bit Of Book News

Maybe Later

Back before the November 2008 election, I opined on the subject of gay marriage, coming down firmly on the side of honestly not knowing where I stood on the issue.  Haven’t changed my mind since then, which is another way of saying I haven’t made up my mind.  To be honest, it’s not a subject about . . . → Read More: Maybe Later

No Room For Us?

We live in odd times.  Our government values public relations over the lives of its citizens, eagerly broadcasting every human rights abuse real or imagined committed by the previous administration in its apparently unforgivable pursuit of extracting information from those sworn to murder as many people under its protection as possible.  Does the present leadership prefer . . . → Read More: No Room For Us?

Quem Deus Vult Perdere, Dementat Prius

A lot of emphasis is placed on first impressions.  We’re never given a second chance to make one, we’re repeatedly told.  Look sharp, speak well, be pleasant.  You want to make a good first impression.  You have to make a good first impression.

Or not.

It would be good if equal emphasis was placed on the truism that . . . → Read More: Quem Deus Vult Perdere, Dementat Prius
