Brian McLaren needs to butt out (0)
5/21/09 •
Just got an email that’s torqued my lugnuts a bit too much concerning Brian McLaren. In case you’re unfamiliar, he’s one of the most influential “evangelicals” in America…at least, according to Time magazine. I put “evangelical” in quotes, because, by my reading, the man doesn’t seem to have the whole Christian thing figured out yet.

Gas Tax Idiocy (0)

I was doing something the other day I won’t be doing again in the foreseeable future: reading a Motor Trend magazine. I was out of toilet reading material, but, while reading, I found another toiletry use for the magazine. Yup, they’re pushing an increased gas tax, like the government’s talking about even now. It’s all about forced behavior modification and enhanced governmental control over lives.
Awe of Space Travel (0)

I got to do something a week or so ago that I haven’t been able to do in quite some time: watch a space shuttle launch. I can’t even remember the last time I’d watched one, but it’s just as awesome as I remember them. But with all the talk of retiring the shuttles floating about and current government plans for replacement, I really have to look back and evaluate my understanding of the space program.
I Hate Eminent Domain (0)

I have hated the entire concept of eminent domain ever since the state came to my father and made him sell some of his frontage property in order to put an off-ramp from the newly four-laned federal highway 45 back when I was a child.

I picked it up today…a Blackhawk Spec-Ops stock with recoil suppression springs built-in. It wasn’t cheap…but it’s got adjustable length, fits right into the existing weapon, and looks pretty bad-news.

Excuse me, but I don’t feel like leaving my life in the hands of men who only have to qualify their gun handling skills once a year, much less to some nutbar with a grudge.
I love Opera! (0)

I am an Opera user, and I have been ever since the late nineties…probably as early as 1997. I love Opera…I always have and, from the looks of it, always will. It’s here to stay, and there is no reason to pull the plug on it.
The Longhorn Revenge Law? (0)
3/16/09 •
In further attempts to better waste taxpayer time and money, representatives to the U.S. House have proposed the College Football Playoff Act of 2009. Hey, try winning all your games next time, and stop wasting Congressional law-making power.

Indeed, it’s a huge load of baloney. If you watch the news to any degree, you’ve been hearing this hokum for some time. Yeah, it’s actually several degrees worse than mere baloney, but I’ll restrict it to that.
