I know, I am suppose to be working on those "other than" projects rather than posting on the OS. There is that stack of books with wayward bookmarks that I swore I was going to finish before the end of December. There is that drawing I promised my mother 6 months ago,… Read full post »

I decided to observe the truce today and not write about anyone on the OS. Unfortunately the only interesting thing my dog did all week was bite a chunk of hair off his backside. Yes, I went to the store and got some flea drops, remember winter can be the worst… Read full post »

Have you ever turned on the news and saw an interview with someone who knew the guy being hauled off in handcuffs. They always say, "he was such a nice guy, I would have never guess he was such a criminal." It made me wonder about all the "nice guys" I… Read full post »

So I'm watching the news this morning. They are reporting on the sweeping Republican victories in the Governors elections in Virginia and New Jersey. Is it a moratorium on the Obama administration as the pundits would have us feel? Is the future of the nation really based upon two state elections?… Read full post »

This isn't a funny, controversial or poignant post, I just figured with all the Halloween stuff people might have forgotten tonight is the end of Daylight Savings Time and to remind everyone it's time to Fall Back at 2 AM. After all you don't want the preacher thinking you showed up… Read full post »

Shopping in a small town meant going from one store to the other for your needs. You went to the grocery store for food, the hardware store for tools, the auto parts store for those do it yourself repair jobs and so on. Then came Wal-Mart, but fortunately my town was too… Read full post »

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have OS and, uh, I believe that our, uh, OS like such as,  South Africa uh, and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our OS ove… Read full post »

Just for general information I did read your post but I didn't comment on it simply because it was just too good and what could I say? And then there was the time I commented but I forgot to rate it, at least I think I did but maybe I didn't.… Read full post »

So I had a great Sunday planned, OK so it was a so-so Sunday. My mother wanted to go to Wal-Mart and since it's 20 miles away, over the mountain and in Colorado I told her I would drive her there. It's beneficial to me because she buys lunch at the… Read full post »

 Hello?

Alexender? Murdoch here, seems that Obama has exposed us for being the propaganda wing of the GOP, you worked with that crook Nixon, what should we do?

Well glorouris leader, how about I accuse that Obama of being Nixon and creating an enemies list like we had in… Read full post »

I decided to try a simple experiment, I went on several message boards where the politicos hang out and asked what I thought was a simple question. For the sake of control there were a few parameters, a time line and a request for specifics.  Here is the question as posted;

When I got home this afternoon the light and the trees were just right so I grabbed my camera and fired off a couple of quick shots. I figured I would share them, or at least brag about why I don't want to live anywhere else.

The fall leaves… Read full post »

It was just 13 days ago that Rush Limbaugh was spouting off about the Olympic and President Obama;

 "Now, you do have to ask yourself a question.  You do have to ask a serious question here.  Is this guy, at the end of the day, a blithering moron?  How the hell… Read full post »

Guys know just the right button to push to turn a TV on.

TV has both volume control and a mute button.

If a Guy doesn't like what he sees he can always change the channel.

A TV has never used the phrase, "You know what you did!" or "Does this cable box… Read full post »

It happened all of a sudden, one of those shotgun sneezes. Not the Ah ah ah-choo types but the just choo with no warning. It wouldn't have been so bad but in that spilt second my gum was gone.

I was in the kitchen at the time, just about to pick… Read full post »

  ...it wasn't for all those tourists!

So after a week of fun in the sun, followed by a week of laying on my couch with a wicked head cold that just won't let go, I'm back. Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with the details of my trip or… Read full post »

Even with all things considered I don't really know if I believe the latest internet buzz. Sure Sarah Palin isn't the Mother of the Year but this might be over the line. And sure she's done a lot of stupid stuff but again, really?

Yes, I considered Palin's history. There was that… Read full post »

Now don't get me wrong, I was never a fan of that "separate but equal" nonsense. Quite frankly if some kid is the key to curing cancer, give him a decent education by gobs! But I think the desegregationists went too far.

I am very much apposed to segregation in the public for… Read full post »

So it's the last day of summer. Am I celebrating by spending a day in the park? Perhaps firing up the grill for a last cookout? Just enjoying the pleasantries of the day? Nope I had to bust out a sweatshirt and am staying inside out of the weather.

By now anyone with a TV or internet access knows of the events at the Video Music Awards on Mtv. The obvious backlash occured with comments from the average music lover to the President of the United States letting their displeasure be known. But there was a positive side effect to the… Read full post »

Resolving the economic crisis that pushed this nation into a recession in 2008. Resolving the wars the U.S. has become involved in since 2001. Rebuilding the infrastructure of America. Creating jobs. Fixing the health care crisis. Improving education. Weaning America off of fossil fuels, who's f… Read full post »

Everyone go to your corner and stay there for the rest of the week. I have had enough of these temper tantrums and outbursts. Rationality and civility seem to be totally lacking in this nation these days.

So until you can all learn to stop shouting at each other and… Read full post »

In 1997 Mary Schmich wrote a column called "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" for the Chicago Tribune. It was so popular it was set to music and became a hit video in 1999 by director Baz Luhrmann and went on to hit 45 on Billboards Top 100.… Read full post »

This weekend hundreds and hundreds of the new political movement The Teabaggers gathered in Washington DC to politicise 9/11. Much like those dreaded hippies of old they waived signs and made speeches but it seems they didn't have a clear and cohesive message. John Lennon sang "All we are saying is… Read full post »
