Rick the plumber
Jan 29, 2009
All homeowners can expect to have maintenance issues rear their ugly heads every once in a while, and our turn came around just the other day. Well, it actually came around a long time ago, but I put the repair off until it simply couldn’t be avoided any longer. What happened was the drain in [...]
How the Republicans can win back the White House
Jan 29, 2009
Presidential politics is really a very simple game. Every four years the two major political parties nominate a candidate, and an election is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. On election night, whichever candidate reaches the magic number of 270 electoral votes is declared the winner, then he/she is sworn in [...]
Uses for an old computer
Jan 23, 2009
Computers have become commodities in recent times. PCs that are dozens of times more powerful than their predecessors of just a decade ago now cost less than a mid-range television at Wal-Mart and many other discount retailers.

Well, that’s all changed [...]
What? Did you say a BLACK conservative Republican?
Jan 9, 2009
Yes, that’s exactly who and what Alfonzo Rachel is. This man is talented, smart, informed and quite ready and willing to lay it all on the line and let his fellow African Americans know that the Democrat party isn’t exactly doing them any favors. For decades now the Democrats have used fear [...]
Do you remember when…?
Jan 5, 2009
Do you remember when…
drinking water came from a spigot, a well, or a spring?
music came on a record album, cassette, or (gasp) an 8-Track tape?
we listened to music on an AM radio, a record player, or a tape player?
dad and mom ruled the household instead of the kids?
the only things kids had to worry about [...]
Spectacular meteor over Edmonton, Alberta
Jan 2, 2009
If you’re like most people, the only meteors you ever see are faint, fleeting streaks of light that zoom across the night sky so quickly that you rarely get a chance to see them very clearly. But many of the folks who live in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada got to [...]
