Will the terrorist kill healthcare reform?

Friday, January 1, 2010

Not even 12 hours into the new year and there is a political post!  Well, he says it all, and very clearly, too. From Soccer Dad: “If – as shown by last week’s terror attack – the relatively simple step of improving the assessment of intelligence was not accomplished by introducing a new bureaucracy [Department […]

The infamous Hockey Stick…

Monday, December 7, 2009

…deiced… “…back in grade school, I stumbled on a passage which was the very first in any book of any kind in which I realized that the authors could let their political preconceptions alter their interpretation of their subject.  What they wrote, as I recall it very inexactly 40 years later, was to the effect […]

Ten Points to Save Our Nation…

Saturday, October 3, 2009

A selection from from Victor David Hanson’s column at Pajamas Media: ================================== We Should Vote for Anyone . . . Who offers a coherent systematic agenda of reform.

Day 255: The 9/12 Tea Party!

Sunday, September 13, 2009

I am not sure how many showed up for our little Tea Party in Great Falls, but it seemed like more than in April.  Lots of honking, waving and thumbs up, too.  A few thumbs down, middle fingers and cursing from passing cars.  I don’t mind the ones who don’t agree with us, but do […]

Day 227: Off to a Tea Party

Saturday, August 15, 2009

I found a few more links to Apollo sites.  These are by Ken Rockwell, noted and controversial photographer (well controversial online, anyway!).  This guy should know what he is talking about Moon Landing wise.  Rockwell was a/the major contractor for the space program…I think it was his Dad.   Family business, at least! http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2009-07-19.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2009-07-1-new.htm […]

Day 194: One small step for [a] man…

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Forty years ago today Mankind reached the height of civilization on this planet: We left it.  Man walked on the Moon.  A few more missions, then a program cut short because the dollars needed to be saved were “needed” elsewhere, the “end” of the Space Race… The whole planet had been brought together for one […]
