Mainstream USA has pretty much adopted a “run them all out of the country at any cost” philosophy in dealing with illegal immigration. But I am not Mainstream when it comes to immigration. I am in favor of immigration. I think it is healthy and a way to introduce new blood into a country, as [...]

I started talking about the 2007 Cubs baseball team a few weeks ago on the blog. I have since been waiting to see just how the preseason was going before I decided to post on the rest of the team. I will pick up where I left off on my last post.
One of the worst [...]

Living in the Midwest we learn to take some natural disasters for granted. We live near the Mississippi River and there are several smaller rivers that are near so we expect a certain amount of flooding every year. We can take some precautions and most of realize it is just a part of life we have [...]

New time – New faces – Same place – Same tired old Gridlocked Government two-party tactics putting political ambitions and dreams of absolute power ahead of the Country. Spinmasters spew sheep speechifying sustenance supplying saliva silage supporting Salinger-Syndrome scenarios for the Political Pied-Piper Pavlovian Precipice-jumpers (can you say lemmings). The Executive and Congressional Nero’s play [...]

Sorry folks but I really have been lax with my blog as of late. Family interests along with along with a break for the better in weather has kept my attention diverted elsewhere.

I have been following a story on the Internet the last few days that has really got me beating my head against the wall when I read about the cover-up an Indiana Middle School has been engaging in since November. Fortunately I have a thick enough skull that the wall is the only [...]
A Fix for Political Junkies (and a good laugh for others)

Political races are so full of hot air, bluster and phony promises I tend to tune them out after awhile. Well I must have slept through too much of the 2004 POTUS election as there were some interesting characters running I was unaware of. Of course just because they were interesting does not mean I [...]

The big news in Quad City restaurants seems to be the coming addition of Sonics. I have never eaten at one, so I am unsure what to expect. I went to their website and looked up the information but it just did not excite me. But that is not new, regional and national chains often do [...]

Even in death, the Anna Nicole Smith gold-diggers are trying to make as many last-second dollars off her fleeting fame as possible. The father of her son has filed a lawsuit attempting to have his son’s buried body moved from the Bahamas. This suspiciously concurs during the same time period where Smith’s mother filed a last [...]
