I stop reading the news….
..for one day and the world blows up. Yesterday, I walked into a bunker in Culpepper, VA and was more/less completely out of circulation for most of the day. I come out, get in the car, turn on the radio, and hear “…dow dropped over 750 points today as the House of Representives failed to [...]
Places I get to see…
Pretty cool stuff. Every time i drive by my phone dies. The NSA is famed for it’s low profile and extreme power. Also referred to as “No Such Agency” as a direct result of said low profile. Cool place. Right next door is the “National Cryptologic Museum” One of these days I’ll actually manage to [...]
Pointlessness
It’s pointless to hope to change the world, not when the majority of people in it don’t care enough to pay attention. I keep hoping that human beings are smarter this year than they were before, but I know that in this I am doomed to be disappointed.
Fantasia and the Constitution
Thomas Jefforson wrote, in part: “We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” Our constitution, like Disney’s “Fantasia”, was supposed to be updated every so often in order to “go hand in [...]
Alien Visitors.
I’ve always viewed this little peice of machinery as proof positive that we are not alone in this universe. Look at the facts. It’s over 30 years old. It’s still the fastest plane on record. Even Lockheed is to this date unable to duplicate the technology. It’s still to this day cooler than anything we’ve [...]
McCain is running scared…
Is it inviting the flame-gods to say that a former POW is a coward? He’s running away from this debate, I’m sure because he knows that he doesn’t do well in debate formats. What annoys me is that he’s using the crisis in the economy to dodge the debate, when what we really need is [...]
You can dress a monkey up in silk….
…but it’s still a monkey. Most of my friends know I can be a little unstable. The fact that I can count my friends on my fingers and still pet the dog is a perfect testament to that. I’m Bi-Polar. That’s an established fact. Diagnosed in 1996 during a period when i was in and [...]
On being presidential:
Here’s where we went wrong in 2000 (and by extension, 2008) We elected a president we identified with. George W. Bush is an average, everyday doofus. As a result, most average, everyday doofuses can identify with him. We made our mistake in thinking that this qualified a person to be president. The now-famous poll question [...]
On Sleeping…
Sleeping is overrated. When I was growing up, my mom was a night-owl, usually staying up reading until 2 or 3 in the morning. My dad was a morning person, probably attributed to almost 25 years in the military. Some part of me thinks that I tried to be awake for both of them from [...]
