Time & Perspective

You know when you see an old picture of yourself and it makes you do a double take?  Your brain is trying to reason with itself that you don't look like that anymore.....you're now an older, fatter and likely dumber version of your past self.

I forgot about this blog for at least 6 years and had completely blocked it out.  Going back and reading it now is hilarious and somewhat painful.  But in most cases I'm the only person that has seen many of these posts so, whatever.

What brought me back is the death of Senator John McCain.  I had in the past been very critical of McCain on this blog and decided I should say something after many years of reflection.  The eloquence of Barrack Obama and Joe Biden at McCain's memorial services summarizes exactly how I feel about McCain.  I disagreed with him in many ways but still believe him to be an American Hero.  Not just for the obvious reasons of his military service and treatment by a cruel enemy but for his life after those years.

Imagine if McCain had defeated Bush in 2000?  How different would the world be now?  Imagine if he had followed his instincts and run with Joe Lieberman in 2008?  Would he have beaten Obama?

Most importantly, John McCain saw Donald Trump for the incompetent charlatan he truly is.  Like I said, AMERICAN HERO.

Sad sign of the times.

Wow. Had to post this because one of his degrees is from Purdue.



Remember when we used to make things in America?

Is this what's missing?

The Founding Fathers of the this country (the real ones not the once Michelle Bachman believes in) crafted a well function Government that has survived 237 years of trials. They wisely avoided large parts of already then established governments to create something unique. I just wish that they had framed the US House of Representatives to be more like the British House of Commons. Can you imagine President Obama on the House floor being cheered or jeered like this?


What you would get is something so much deeper. So many people only see the talking head news version of Obama....how would he react to being openly challenged in this way? C-Span could be the best reality TV channel on the planet!

It fell

I love the Foo Fighters. They may be one of the few ROCK bands left and I'm really enjoying their new album.

Their videos are usually awesome and this one for the new single Walk is no exception. It's a parody of one of my favorite movies, Falling Down.

Ground Control to Major Apple.

Apple is going to spend some of the billions in it's war chest to build itself a new headquarters/campus. The proposed building is exactly what you would expect from Apple....that is to say it is very cool.

GET FREE MONEY!!!

If this doesn't piss you off then you are an enormous moron. I hope that in my lifetime the scope and scale of the Bush Administration's damage to this country becomes apparent. The great GOP cash grab of 2008.
