I don’t have a lot of time to post because I am trying to finish the book Crunchy Con so I can talk about it on “She’s Right” Friday at 5:25 on Channel 17.
One of the things Dreher talks about is our consumerist culture and what is going to happen to our economy when we [...]

As hard as it is to lose, I, like many other conservatives, understand that it was time for the GOP to lose.
They have long since strayed from the small-government policies that made the Republican Party the home of so many conservatives. I have been clear about that on this blog for a while [...]

I know that some of my post election posts were kind of juvenile and bitchy and I am sorry. I try to rise above that, but I am only human.
I had planned to post this morning a more thoughtful reflective post, but after nearly an hour’s work, my browser crashed and I was unable [...]

Note:This was originally dated earlier today, but I wanted to bump it up to the top of the blog.
Yesterday morning, I was watching a biographical spot about Nancy Pelosi on one of the networks (ABC, NBC, or CBS, since that’s all I get for news).
The funny thing was, the voice-over said that she quickly learned [...]

Okay, I am on a strict diet of no liberal blogs for at least one week. You people would bitch if they hung you with a new rope. You won. Shut the heck up and enjoy it, for the love of Pete.
When Bush won in 2004, I had to endure boatloads of [...]

I hate to do the linky thing without my own commentary, but this post by Rod Dreher on his Crunchy Con blog is so right on the money, I had to link to it.
And for the She’s Right show watchers, this month’s show, which airs live on November 17 (next Friday) on Channel 17, I [...]

I just went over to the CBS News website - don’t ask me why - and I saw this headline:
Let The ‘08 Run For The White House Begin
Never mind that neither of the pictured candidates inspired confidence in me that I should look forward to that election. I just want a few months to [...]

Yikes!
Assuming recounts don’t overturn any results, the final breakdown in the House come January will be 93 Democrats, 49 Republicans, six Progressives and two independents. The Democrats take a commanding 23-7 edge to the Senate.
The lefties, who have had to endure compromise, are beside themselves with joy, I’m sure. I, on the other [...]

Here’s an issue that people from all political stripes should be concerned about - the International Paper tire burn test.
Why they felt it necessary to run a test burn with no pollution control equipment is beyond me, but it could have something to do with the fact that the winds blow into Vermont and IP [...]

If this is supposed to be such a great day, then why is it so dark and gloomy and rainy that I just want to crawl back into bed?
A moment of silence and prayer that the leaders in Washington will not let power go to their head, but instead put the country ahead of partisanship. [...]
