I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. No one tells me what to do, not even myself. I kinda figured a lot of you feel that way, too, so here is my out-of-the-blue resolution: No more politics on this blog. If I have thoughts that won’t be held in, I’ll create a separate blog. This country [...]

Our senior year 1955 Byron Bradfute and his long time neighbor sat in the locker room before first football practice. The coach had a special talk for the team that year. Beeville, Texas had closed black Lott Canada H.S. and folded the students into A.C. Jones H.S. The guys all listened and probably heard the [...]
I Play One on TV
Posted in president, tagged Obama, president, presidential election, smile, stimulus, TV on February 6, 2009 | 11 Comments »
“I’m not a president, but I play one on TV.” Do you have the feeling Obama might end his TV appearances with that disclaimer? He’s just too damn happy to be in the most stressful job in the world. I prematurely dubbed Vice President Biden with the moniker TooDamnHappy, but I’m going to have to [...]

How many highs and lows can you cram in one week? I don’t know, but last week fate did its best to break a record. Saturday, I prowled the nooks and crannies of antique shops in Sanford, FL with my granddaughters and daughter-in-law and let the cool breezes [...]

Flawed Constitution?

The following is from an Obama interview in 2001. Now I think I know what he considers flawed in our government — the Constitution. If you feel the same, vote for him. If you trust the founding fathers more — DON’T. Whomever is elected must put his hand on the Bible and swear to protect the [...]
Joe the Plumber Lesson
Posted in Economy, Socio-Political Thoughts, Uncategorized, tagged Joe the Plumber, McCain, Obama, presidential election, Presidential race, rally, vote on October 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
We are missing the real lesson of Joe the Plumber, the citizen who asked a question of Obama at a rally. He wanted to know how an Obama tax increase to taxpayers making over $250,000 would affect him when he buys the plumbing company he is working for. A simple question that has become a [...]
Secrets of an Undecided Voter

Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable. John Kenneth Galbraith Go ahead and deride me. I’m an undecided voter. I, too, once looked with scorn on voters who couldn’t make up their minds after months of political rhetoric. Haven’t they [...]
Perot Charts
Posted in Economy, election, Finances, politics, president, Socio-Political Thoughts, Uncategorized, tagged budget, charts, deficit, election, Perot, politics, presidential election, Ross Perot on June 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Ross Perot is b-a-c-k, and I’m glad. He’s back in the form of his famous charts at perotcharts.com. When our eyes glaze over and our ears begin to tune out the canned, poll driven commercials there is a place we can go to fact check on the economy. Believe me, you aren’t getting the real story unless the facts happen [...]
