Month: December 2008

Last night, we were watching the news, and they said that Wicked tickets were going on sale this morning at 7:00 AM at the Capitol Theatre Box Office in downtown Salt Lake City. I saw Wicked in the Land of Languatron early this year, so I wasn't all that concerned for myself, but Mrs. Cornell ... Read more

I'meither too busy or too lazy to write a full-on blog entry, so I'll pass along a funny e-mail POUNDS forwarded on to me regarding shifting educational standards. ________ Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I ... Read more

Ihereby withdraw my contention that Abraham Lincoln was a great conservative. POUNDS makes too many good points for me to be able to defend that contention, although I will say that I don’t think Lincoln fits today’s definition of liberal, either. The guy was an aggressive militarist whose suspension of habeas corpus for U.S. citizens ... Read more

POUNDS,in yesterday's comments, noticed that I had limited the definition of conservatism to primarily economic factors.

What always amazes me with things like this is just how mindless they are. Do they really believe this is how religious people think and behave? The answer is yes. ... Read more

SoI have a million things to do. I have a job assignment due on Friday, and several big projects in the pipeline. But I spent all day today trying to finish my book. And that is a very, very good thing. When I started this blog, it was supposed to be a tool to keep ... Read more

POUNDS’questions from my last entry got me reminiscing about my many academic sins, and I now regret accusing my Driver’s Ed teacher of being a lush. True, he had that reputation, so I ran with it in the previous post, but I have no proof that such was the case. All I know was that ... Read more

SoI didn’t post my novel this weekend. I’m actually ambivalent about continuing to post it, as many folks are not interested, and those that are ought to be reading it all the way through, because this disjointed posting is leaving people more confused than they should be. So I’m going to focus on finishing a ... Read more
