So much for getting off this planet. Enough sattellites collide there could be too many high speed projectiles to dodge! It happened some 490 miles above northern Siberia, at around noon Eastern time. Two communications satellites — one Russian, one American — cracked up in silent destruction. In the aftermath, military radars on the ground [...]
Rush Limbaugh. I kind of like the sound of that. Kind of reminds me of this movie I once saw… (A Face in the Crowd – 1957)
Huh! Kind of a surprise to me that we are going into this territory but… ok! Looks like the expansion goes into some area’s of pensions and according to what I gather, shores up some of the previous legislation. Look for the coming minority frenzy and concerted letters to republican constituent districts (have you noticed [...]
There is a reason newspapers are dropping like flies. And today’s editorial is one of them: The urge to “improve” on the standard version of our national anthem is apparently difficult for a lot of musicians to resist. To this we say, “Try harder.” Perhaps the most egregious example of the “star-mangled” banner was Rosanne [...]
I told a friend I might go see Clint Eastwood’s new movie Gran Torino and she told me, “It’s a Clint Eastwood movie. You can’t go wrong”. So I reminded her about ‘Every Which Way But Loose”. (Zing!) But despite Eastwood having the honor of a long career in spaghetti westerns and really bad movies [...]
First off, the Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities Inauguration Party was nothing less than a complete success. It was by far more than anyone who was involved in putting it together expected. Being a potluck sort of event, usually there is quite a bit of food, but you would never believe how much food showed [...]
Updated: A couple updates on this: First, was it just me or was Warren completely uninspiring? I know this is days old but really… it wasn’t just the words in his invocation, it was the delivery and cadence. Where is Brother Swaggart (a real sinner) when you need him? Second, if you haven’t been following [...]
Bill is really fun if you find sensationalist blowhards entertaining. But thankfully, Goldy puts it in perspective. (As a side note: text message from a good, yet very “conservative” friend read: “I agree w chris not oreilly”. - Yeah Huh!)
As you can see from the picture in the previous post, just post election I had a little vacation. A much needed vacation. While I can’t say it was perfect, it was as perfect as it was going to get and I enjoyed myself, the ocean, and a few Mayan ruins while I was at [...]
There are still 25 thousand ballots in the WA-8th LD race to count and the Benton County Auditor hasn’t posted up results since 8pm last night. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING!!! I think Bobby Gagner should have a press conference. Yes, that is exactly what she should do right now and tell us why!!! You know [...]
Looks like I’ll never get on that Blueberry Commission. Dammit! I hope sometime during the next 4 years we can put some teeth into the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission laws. The flagrent violations by the BIAW needs to be stopped. Fines of 15k here and there after 500k worth of violations just encorages these [...]

This is a pretty close race. While Brad Klippert is already considering his “mandate”: Klippert viewed his narrow lead not only as a victory, but also a mandate to take the conservative ideology that formed the foundation of his campaign. The Army National Guard reservist and Benton County sheriff’s deputy campaigned on a socially and [...]
