Salmon Fishing in Yemen
Had to finally call it a day. Up at 7:30 am. Stop work at midnight. No, not loving it, thanks for asking. So. Decided to take the advice of my astute wife, who has a rather strict list of rules when it comes to film (which as frustrating as it is at times to find…
A Noble Lie
We just finished watching the documentary A NOBLE LIE, about the Oklahoma City building bombing. As usual the event is filled with questions never answered, numerous federal and constitutional laws broken by the federal government, lies and deceptions, murdered eye-witnesses and thousands of federal government documents, photos and videos withheld from the public ever seeing…
Occupy Your Home

Voting For A Third Party Only Makes Things Worse
Though the intentions of the proposed action are noble, and the reasons for it more than valid and necessary, now more than ever — though an argument could be made that this need has existed for a long time, perhaps as far back as the drafting of the Constitution — supporting a third political party…
