I’ve been drowning in day-job duties, and being too steamed about the country’s clock being cleaned by our government in Washington to post something coherent without involving the use of the laptop computer as a blunt instrument for demolition purposes.
However, I have nothing to worry about as far as political content goes, as our telegenic President continues to bring damage to our country in spades. His daily F-ups are becoming legion, and sometimes I wonder when will he actually get around to fulfilling his oath of office. Fortunately, I was reminded recently that I was not alone, as I joined my fellow “rightwing extremists” in peaceably assembling and petitioning the government for a redress of grievances last week. I saw and talked with people from all walks of life, from many political affiliations, many races, and many creeds — all who were tired of of willful deficit spending and even more willful tax increases during a recession. They were also of both political parties refusing to listen to the voices of the people.
I also learned how much the mainstream media and pundits on the far left hate everyday Americans who dare to disagree with the current direction the country is going, to the point that professional journalists tossed objectivity aside and resorted to vulgar epithets and shouting down fellow citizens who refused to be silent, mind-numbed drones.
I was also reminded that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance — which is why I continue to press on, offline as well as online.
In addition to the weblog, I can be found microblogging via Facebook and Twitter when I’m away from the comforts of home. A daily digest of “tweets” are now posted.
More improvements to the site presentation, as well as a hosting server move is also in the works.
To my fellow citizens whose encouragement I’ve received from other Internet hangouts to the Tax Day Tea Party protests, I shall continue to press on.
The Pork Sandwich From Hell was ramrodded through by partisan Democrats (plus three RINOs) in Congress, and Barack the Fearmonger plans to sign it into law tomorrow. Quite frankly, it will not stimulate the economy and jump-start stagnant commerce, but broaden the depth of government intervention into our daily lives.
Somewhere in Hell, Saul Alinsky is dancing a jig and praising his acolyte from Chicago.
In the meantime, Mike Huckabee minces no words and calls the spending act exactly what it really is:
After six years and some months of running this blog, the drive, motivation, and eagerness to write entries have taken a back seat to other priorities.
It is with heartfelt regret that I have decided to bring the blog to an end. Comments will be disabled on January 31, 2008; archives will remain online through the end of June.
Many thanks go out to those who have supported the site over the years with their readership, comments, and linkage.
Although this blog is going away, yours truly will not be going away. I’ll continue to visit other blogs and join a discussion or two if the spirit moves me to do so. Those wishing to contact me can do at .
I’m taking time off for a much-needed California vacation and a family reunion. Suffice it to say, I’m having a great time so far, and enjoying the cool coastal breezes of Marina del Rey.
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to hook up for breakfast and conversation with TCB founder Cobb. He has some of the best old school R&B mixtapes I’ve ever heard, and good memories of life back in the day. Although it was my first time meeting him in person, I instantly felt that I’ve met a good old friend that I haven’t seen in a while. Thanks to Cobb for his hospitality and for the ride around town!
With a week of vacation time left, I’m still have a lot to do. I’ll have more to say about my time off (and other stuff) soon.
My apologies for not posting recently, as other front-burner items (resulting in the burning of midnight oil) have been taking place. Also, the DSL line hasn’t been nice to me lately as far as uploads and updates are concerned. A switch back to cable-based internet (which I regret not transferring when I moved to the current residence a year ago) should also help.
I hope to be back in full swing by tomorrow afternoon.
Update: The switch back to cable modem is delayed, but we’ll continue to keep pressing on as best as we can.
I actually voted early last week. Nevada uses touchscreen voting machines with paper printout verification prior to casting the final ballot. Not a problem in my book.
For the U.S. Senate, I went with incumbent John Ensign. Whenever Jack Carter uttered the words “I’ll be Nevada’s voice to Washington”, it seemed to translate in my mind as “I’ll be a ho for Harry Reid”.
U.S. House: Shelley Berkley; as no serious Republican challenged her. Had I remained a Green Valley resident, I would’ve cast my vote for Jon Porter. As for Tessa Hafen’s campaign attacks accusing Porter of being a Bush “yes man”, she offered no guarantee that she wouldn’t be a Nancy Pelosi “yes woman” (God forbid she becomes Speaker of the House).
For Nevada governor, I held my nose and voted for Jim Fibbins — er, Gibbons (as of this day, we’re still unclear if he’s been had or just plain caught red-handed; do a Google search). Although the governor’s mansion might be the end of the line for his overall political career, I couldn’t see myself touchscreening the circle for Dina Taxes — er, Titus. Also Titus strikes me as being a mean person who’s extremely left-wing underneath all that feigned centrism. State representative votes went to Republican Barbara Cegavske and Democrat William Horne (who ran unopposed).
Other state offices: Brian Krolicki for Lt. Gov., Don Chairez for Attorney General, Steve Martin for Controller, Ross Miller for SecState, and Kate Marshall for Treasurer.
State Ballot Questions 1 through 11 (minus Question 3): Yes, yes, no, no, no, yes, yes, no, no, and no.
State Supreme Court: Michael Cherry, Michael Douglas, and Nancy Saiita.
We’ll see how the rest of the state voted later tonight…
I had planned to resume blogging upon returning home from a short Labor Day weekend vacation; unfortunately, I did not count on the air conditioning system at home going kaput.
Being that I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, and given the very high temperatures (as well as high humidity), I had to take up temporary residence at a friend’s house until the AC gets repaired.
Luckily, I will not have to conjure up thousands of dollars, as the home warranty plan is paying for the repairs (minus a nominal fee on my part). Hopefully, I can come home to air-conditioned comfort this weekend. If not, I’ll work on getting access to a wireless connection somewhere.
Thanks for your continuous patience and patronage!
