An Explanation

I apologize for not posting anything for the last two weeks, but between being sick and being insanely busy at work I have had difficulty getting anything written that meets my standards of content and quality. I have a couple of posts in the works, unfortunately they aren't quite ready yet. So instead of a full length post I'll just throw out a couple of thoughts about the news of the day.

From the news I have gathered, it appears that the ideas of secession and Texas' sovereignty are not dead as once thought and more surprisingly they seem to be gaining some wider ranging support.

When B. Hussein Obama starts talking about how home owners in jeopardy of losing their homes can visit a government website and possibly get their mortgage payment lowered, he really sounds like late night paid programming.

My mother met an 18 year old American girl who proudly wore a bright red shirt with the Soviet hammer and sickle on it. When my mother questioned her about it, the young women stated that she wanted to live in a socialist country. When my mother asked "Why don't you move to Cuba?" the young woman wasn't enthused. Why is it that American socialists can't move to Cuba or China or Sweden etc, etc, and let those of us who love freedom and Independence have America?

More Somali pirates need to be introduced to Navy Snipers.

Historically pirates have been treated like rabid dogs; excellent to avoid, but if you run into one kill it. By following that assumption, piracy was driven from the oceans, but now that we are going to be treating them as mere criminals I think we'll win this war on piracy about as well as we've won the war on drugs.

The movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is an annoying propaganda piece about how we are all destroying the planet. At the end of the movie I had to laugh though. The aliens destroyed all electronics. I guess people will just go back to burning wood and coal to heat and cook with and how big a carbon foot print will 6 billion coal cooking fires make every day?

Ok, enough random thoughts for now. I will try and get a proper post up in the next day or two. Sorry about the delay.
