Stallion Cornell

AFacebook friend asked me to produce Stallionic Axiom #3 as promised long ago with after the creation of Stallionic Axioms 1 and 2. I would be happy to do so if I could remember what it was. I’m actually remaining purposely and blissfully ignorant of partisan politics, and I’m quite enjoying it. That makes for ... Read more

BeforeI get to my latest, here's a song that didn't exist when I woke up this morning. It's called (Why Can't She Be) Mine. I just set up a simple riff on GarageBand and had no idea what I would do with it. Then I started shouting "Mine! Mine! Mine!" and, within a few ... Read more

Thelatest tune in the Stallion Cornell songbook: Flying. I wrote this song about three years ago, not long after my youngest son, Stalliondo, was born. I came up with the tune as a way to singsong his name in the first line, and I decided I liked the melody and wanted to write a song ... Read more

The problem is that Stallionic Axiom #2, along with all subsequent Stallionic Axioms, are boring as all git out. So allow me to try to liven up the proceedings.Here is Stallionic Axiom ... Read more

Thereare truths and there are truths.Rush Limbaugh likes to cite his “Undeniable Truths of Life” which contain such gems as Undeniable Truth #24: “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.“That’s lovely and provocative, but it’s irrelevant, regardless of whether or not it’s true. It can certainly provoke ... Read more

It’snice to know that God answers prayers. Even stupid ones. Here’s the story. Last year, Mrs. Cornell had spent a great deal of time and effort to make our five children’s Christmas stockings, and she had had their names embroidered on the front. The embroidery company that did it is now out of business, so ... Read more

TheAir Force is clearly unconstitutional. Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution gives the United States the power to “To provide and maintain a Navy” and to “To raise and support Armies.” The Marine Corps and the Coast Guard might be able to be justified as extensions of the Navy, but there’s nothing ...
