Fred Thompson - Here To Save The Day?

Oh!  Bring him on!  I am so displeased with the offerings of the Republican Party so far.  What I’ve seen of Thompson is encouraging.
His moves come as Republicans have failed to coalesce around a candidate, as they struggle with the war in Iraq, President Bush’s unpopularity and questions about the party’s ideological direction. That has [...]

Biological Terrorism

The international frenzy regarding the tuberculosis man has, I hope, awaken our Homeland Security Department to the real threat of bioterroism that faces our country.  With all the high-tech gagetry available to our federal government, the man drives back in to the country.  He’s supposedly on no-fly lists, but guess what?  He takes the low-tech [...]

The Photos - Part 2

After accepting the fact that I have been suffering from a bit of burnout, I decided to take a quick trip to Virginia.  We have a camper along the New River.  It isn’t a permanent spot.  And, it isn’t a nice, quiet spot back in the mountains.  The campground is designed for maximum profit for [...]

Gas Prices

Ok, for all you whiners out there squalling about the high price of gasoline, let’s talk.  Let’s chat. 
The last refinery built in the United States came online in Garyville, Louisiana, and it started up in 1976.  There was a proposal to build a refinery near Portsmouth, Virginia, in the late 1970s.  Environmental groups and local residents fought [...]

Hogzilla

Ok, now this is just disturbing!

 This wild boar was running around the woods of Alabama.  And you know, there are wild boars running around southern WV!  Can you imagine stumbling across the tracks this monster made?
Don’t you think you would have been committed to the mental hospital for even suggesting this thing was out there!  [...]

For All You Bush Haters

For those of you who really despise the President, this one’s for you.  Seems the Democratics hired a sparrow (Captian Jack perhaps?) to bomb President George W. Bush.  The video didn’t work well for me but the audio told the story.
President G. W. p*sses me off, too.  But, he’s better than Kerry or Gore any [...]

Immigration bill is what?!

Will wonders ever cease?  I wish we had more people like Congressman Boehner!  Check out his comment on the immigration bill:
 House Minority Leader John Boehner, speaking to a private gathering of Republican activists last night, called the Senate’s immigration compromise bill a “piece of shit” but said that he had promised President Bush earlier in [...]

Gambling Tables in WV

I am opposed to the expansion of gambling in West Virginia.  Oh I could rattle off all the religious reasons, but I won’t.
Gambling is a tax on the poor and uneducated.  These are the same people who can’t stop stuffing their mouths full of oatmeal pies and Pepsi, need motorized carts to traverse Wal-Mart because [...]

Support the troops?

Well, well, well.  According to the New York Times the mighty Democratics have decided not to continue the game of chicken with the Prez over funding the troops.
 Seems they just figured out that they don’t have “a veto proof Congress”.  Tsk, tsk.  Poor Grandma Pelosi.  Not quiet the powerful woman afterall.  And that mean old [...]

Amnesty –> NO!! (update)

Ok, they can’t get it passed this week, so they’ll wait unitl June.  I don’t know about you,  but my mind won’t change on the position of amnesty for illegal immigrants.  Check this from Yahoo News (I read about it first at Don Surber’s): 
“It would be to the best interests of the Senate … that we [...]
