Fairly Conservative

Ok, maybe opportunist is a better description. Whatever word you pick, he’s on my unhappy list as of two minutes ago. He’s calling Republicans (and labeling them all conservatives) and trying to get a couple of hundred dollars out of them for some group he’s started. I’ll assume it’s a PAC but I couldn’t find [...]

I’ve been writing this one in my head for a few weeks now. Before I leave, it’s time to get it out there: Maybe it’s time to start praying for our President. America was founded with the understanding God would be watching. In particular, America was founded with the idea of a Christian God watching. [...]

Jihad. Getting even. The concept has been around for a long time. The post title above is from Psalm 55 (New International Version.) Why are we so surprised when this ancient emotion stays in play? I haven’t written anything on the Christmas Day terrorist attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. It’s not like this war between [...]

The house isn’t really decorated. The tree is up but there are no ornaments. The skirt is on and a few packages have made their way to the bottom. I think I’m going to put the star on top and call it a season. I’m having a bit of a temper tantrum, you see. Perhaps [...]

But yet, the state is millions in the hole. What part of this do lawmakers not understand? Anyway, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is touting their new numbers.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the obvious – shipping out 30,000 workers means 30k less who are unemployed. Graph: Bureau of Labor Statistics War cures unemployment. Historically, it always has. War also works a number on [...]

No, I can’t say I’ll be standing in line to see her. I don’t even think I’ll buy the book. Still, I thought I’d give a brief idea of why Sarah Palin might be so popular. You see, she’s a lot like me. Perhaps that’s one way of calling attention to the fact that she’s [...]

I know. What do I expect. Anyway, that bazillion dollars being sucked into gymnasiums was to give every student a chance to practice in gym space! Unless, of course, you are a Spartanette. They’re still rolling around in the afternoon’s green beans from lunch, thank you very much. Today a student smashed her finger putting [...]

“brookfield library cindy kilkenny” followed by “cindy fired from brookfield library.” (Push ctrl and + if you want to magnify below.) To whom it may concern: I never worked for the Brookfield Library. I did serve on the board as an aldermanic representative from the city council. The term expired when my term as alderman [...]

Interesting opinion piece in the New York Times by David Brooks. The rise of Beck, Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and the rest has correlated almost perfectly with the decline of the G.O.P. You know how I feel about squawkers big and small. It won’t surprise you at all if I agree completely. — Update – It [...]
