I thought I would do a short follow up to my previous rant on gas/fuel. Here are a couple of interesting links for the angry, the confused and the curious.

The contraption the wizards entrapped my foot in makes it difficult to stand long periods plus standing for extended periods still causes the foot to swell.

According to Greek Myth the insatiable curiosity of the first woman on Earth, Pandora, spurred her to open a magic jar/box that loosed all of mankind’s evils and troubles. Once liberated they were able to freely traverse the Earth and torment mankind for eternity. I wasn’t there for Planet Earth’s early grand opening celebrations, so [...]

Ron Paul created a loud political stir in his recent attempt to secure the 2008 Republican nomination for POTUS. He has even managed to write a successful selling book called “The Revolution: A Manifesto”, based on his campaign and political philosophy. I am not a Ron Paul advocate. In fact Paul and I have very [...]

Last August I blogged about an Arkansas couple, Michelle and Jim Duggar, whom had just celebrated the birth of their 17th child.

The wife/mother has spent eleven of her forty-one years of existence in the stages [...]
