Attack on a McCain supporter

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I know you have all heard about this, and seen the pictures, and all of that…
I don’t buy it. I’ve seen the pictures as well, and someone wasn’t nice at all for her. But I want to state now that I don’t buy into the “carved a B into my face” story. [...]

Reading is Fundamental

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Did any of you know that we had one of these ?
I know I am a mean old conservative. Maybe that’s why when I first glanced across it I read “International Day for the Irradiation of Poverty”. I had to wonder why the UN was an advocate for nuke-ing the poor.
Although….. considering their [...]

The Return of JB’s Alter Ego…

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

…or Id.  Or Super-ego. Or whatever I was on the old TTA site.  Any which way, JB has graciously allowed me to start spouting off on the new TTA.  Actually, we agree on most stuff, but I’ll keep him honest, and vice-versa. 
Ain’t it cool to have old friends take you back after relocations, job changes, [...]

Be a Congressman for a moment

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Squidoo has an interesting idea. Evidently someone over there came into a little extra scratch- $ 80,000 to be exact- and has decided to give it to charity based on reader poll results. 2 bucks a vote. And no, this isn’t a winner take all. If a charity gets one vote, [...]

What a way to waste a weekend

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Weather here in the mid-south is promising to be absolutely typical for this time of year, which is to say- miserable. Rainy, windy, yucky. Looks like I may not be able to sit on the patio and listen to my Washington Nationals lose another game, so I think I’ll probably finally break down [...]

Twitter, &c.

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I can’t decide if Twitter is a cool thing that should be used often, or a complete and total waste of time and effort. Any thoughts out there ?

The quote thingy….

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I put a page on the menu that is a page-dump of all the quotes that rotate through the widget at the top. I was re-reading some of them, and a couple of them go by kinda quick if you aren’t paying attention, so I thought that might be handy.
TheTalkArena. Always helping the [...]

A few things that ROCK !

Monday, September 15th, 2008

First, my new buddy Bytetips. He did the base design for what I’m using here now, and it was really easy to use and manipulate and customize and all that. I haven’t had a good chance to check out all the other things that he does over at his site, but if it’s [...]

What we be here for ?

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

For those of you who may be new to TTA, basically this site is a place for me and a few buddies of mine to pontificate on whatever may cross our mind….. ya know, like every other blog.
And let me take this opportunity to once again thank the gods for creating blogs, because without them [...]

We’re back….

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Well, part of “we” are back, at least. Been a long time since I’ve posted anything, but if ya want you can visit the old site here. With such an exciting election coming up I plan to be writing quite a bit, so make sure you visit early and often to see what [...]
