Ummm….

Does this creep you out as much as it does me?

(H/T:  Drudge)
Did you know that when Obama gets elected everything will be good and pure?  No more war, no more famine, no more murder and strife?  There will be no unemployment, everyone will smile, and butterflies will be in flying around [...]

Just a reminder

Remember me linking you all to Insolublog’s post of this video?

Well, this is part of a letter sent to Sean Hannity by Rep. Artur Davis (AL).  (If anyone can find the full text of the letter, please let me know.  Thanks.  I heard it on the radio, and this is all [...]

Raaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

You know how I always say I got to get to the gym, but never go?  Guess what?!?!?!?  I went to the gym today!  YAY!  Guess what?!?!?!  I’m going to meet with a trainer twice a week!  He even promised to call and harrass me if he doesn’t see me in there working on my [...]

All-American Manliness: Idaho

(No, udaho!)  Sorry, that was an old joke my friends and I used to say when we heard the word Idaho.
I was worried when I started looking at “the list” for Idaho.  All I saw were people like Hemmingway (yawn) and football players.  While Jake Plummer definitely qualifies for hottie status, in reading his bio, [...]

My part time job

I always joke that my day-job is teaching and that my part-time job is grading and prepping.  I could easily spend three or more hours a day on grading and prepping.  During the week, I spend two or so days grading and a couple of days planning and making copies for the next week.  (Helps [...]

All-American Manliness: Hawaii

Visions of surfers hitting the big waves go through my mind when I think of Hawaii.  However, did you know that there is a flyin’ Hawaiian?  Yep, there is.  His name is Shane Victorino, and he plays for the Philadelphia Phillies.  He’s cute, and in every interview I’ve seen him in, he seems decent enough [...]

Wouldn’t this be nice?

I had a little bit of Chinese food for dinner, and for dessert, I had two fortune cookies.  Usually, not unlike a lot of people, I get “fortunes” that are not really fortunes.  I giggle at those, and I don’t believe in the validity of fortunes.  However, the idea of these two becoming reality would [...]

All-American Manliness: Georgia

The All-American Manliness Award goes to country singer, Alan Jackson.  Okay, he’s won a ton of awards, so I doubt mine means a thing.
He’s has sold 50 million (plus) records and is about to turn 50.  Wow!  50?
Why did I choose Jackson?  Well part of the manliness factor for me is showing some heart, which [...]

Sunday Song

Psalm 5:12
“For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.”
Job 10:12
“You have granted me life and lovingkindness; and Your care has preserved my spirit.”
“If I Stand”–Rich Mullins

All the stuff around us is minute in comparison to God’s power.  Try [...]

Two thumbs up (the Democrats’ noses)!

Here are some videos that you MUST watch:
First, view THIS video from Woody about the housing mess.
Here is some information about the Community Reinvestment Act, but I urge you to do your own fact-finding.
Next, go to Old NFO’s site to see THIS video of the Fannie Mae CEO enjoying some “family” bonding.
Lastly, visit with Insolublog [...]

You asked? I answer. (The longest post EVER!)

Appearing on my “about” page are the following questions and answers.  Thanks to everyone who asked and who reads this seriously long post.  HA!
Jeffro asked,
“What grade do you teach?” I am a high school English teacher.  (Yes, I know I make errors on my posts from time to time; however, I see everyone else’s [...]

Weighin’ In

Sorry this is so late this week.  I just needed to be lazy, today.
I’ve managed to lose five of the six pounds that I gained last week.  So, I’m +1 for the challenge so far.  However, I’m still having some fluid problems.  That is probably my answer to a lot of things.  I meet with [...]

Paul Newman

Earlier in the week, I chose Paul Newman as one of my “All-American Manliness” picks.  While I was writing it, I wondered how he was doing, given recent reports about his declining health.  Since those initial reports, when I heard him mentioned, I prayed for his family, especially his wife.  In his life with her, [...]

All-American Manliness: Florida

Today’s hunky men were born in Florida.  Therefore, I could have chosen Vanilla Ice and even Janet Reno.  However, I chose to pick from the way-back files for a couple of rockers that have since passed on:  Ronnie Van Zant and Jim Morrison.  I wouldn’t describe them as having “all-American, clean-cut” manliness.  I’m choosing them [...]

“What Senator Obama doesn’t seem to understand is…”

That he’s…
a hack
a fool
has shallow knowledge about lots of stuff
can’t debate
Umm….need I say more?
Heh…McCain mopped Obama up!  (I’m not a huge McCain fan, but given the choice I have, Obama will never get my vote.)
I don’t like Obama’s views on babies, either.
