    Joe Wilson: My Thoughts

    This is just a quick note on Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), who interrupted Obama’s Wednesday night speech with “you lie!” Which, by the way, was true: Obama lied when he said the current plans didn't cover illegal immigrants. I only have two criticisms for the Representative.

    I Hate Eminent Domain

    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 love Opera!

    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.

    Raising or Lowering Keys of Accompaniment Tracks

    I’m a volunteer music director at my church, and, as such, I’ve gone through a number of accompaniment tracks over the years. During that time, I have acquired many tracks that were simply out of my vocal range or were too uncomfortable to deal with. Some time back, though, I found a largely [...]

    A Conservative for Clinton? It’s Possible!

    I’ve nearly had enough of this pathetic excuse for a presidential campaign. Last week, I was fully planning on not voting at all. I know some people belly-ache about that, citing some version of “too many good men died to secure my right to vote!” Yeah, whatever…they died to secure our right [...]
