Isn’t Life Strange?

Funny stuff!

Prior to Hurricane Ike, I occasionally enjoyed visiting the island community of Galveston. Though Galveston didn’t have the nicest beaches or niftiest tourist locations, it was still nice to drive along Seawall Boulevard to people watch and enjoy the view of the Gulf of Mexico. One of my favorite places in Galveston to […]

Interesting article at Men’s News Daily today. It more or less addresses my belief that the government no longer works for us anymore, and neither the Democratic nor Republican party has the answers to the problems we face today.
Jesse Ventura, when he’s not talking about 9-11, makes a lot of […]

I was saving the epitaph for later but here it goes…
I willingly and happily supported George W. Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 elections. I still believe that he was the better of the choices in those elections although given the past four years I cannot see that he has done much if […]

Andrew Vactor was facing a $150 fine for playing rap music too loudly on his car stereo in July. But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to classical music by […]

Well folks, I’m now officially creeped out.
I’ve been trying not to do much of anything political here or get into a habit of commenting on the candidates for the upcoming election. I think those who know me and read this blog know well enough where I stand and what I believe and I’d rather […]
