Symptoms:
Body Aches
Stomach Cramps
Violent Vomiting

Headache
Arthritis Flair-ups (if pre-disposed)
Warning-Warning-Warning Will Robinson!!!!
Even people who have gotten flu shots are contracting this virus. Don’t believe that you are immune if [...]

Many on the right will do ANYTHING to prevent Hillary’s win in November. With the way the Democrat race is panning out, that may not be the worst possibility. Barack Obama becomes less and less attractive as the race plays out.
I was watching videos on the Jonestown massacre this evening and one thing occurred to [...]

Goodbye Friend

Last year I made a major move in my life. In January of 2007 I moved from a small town in North East Ohio called Ashtabula to the moderately sized city of Dayton Ohio. At the time, I was just months from completing the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults in the Catholic Church and [...]



Romney Hands MexiCain the Nomination

February 14th, 2008 at 4:37 pm » Comments (3)

Former GOP Nominee hopeful, Gov. Mitt Romney, literally handed Juan MexiCain the nomination of the Republican Party when he asked his delegates to vote to nominate Juan MexiCain.
I’ve been saying since Mitt “suspended” his campaign and disillusioned Conservative America that we need to let the libs have the White House in 2008. Because MexiCain isn’t [...]

January 29th, 2008 at 9:50 pm » Comments (7)

All the news agencies began to declare the winner in Florida with only 55% of the precincts reporting. Now isn’t the time to debate the validity of microsampling but that said, it seems that Sen. MexiCain as one of my compatriots called him won the Sunshine State.
Rudy Giuliani who put all of his eggs in [...]

Catching Up and Tax Cuts

January 22nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm » Comments (0)

This past weekend I was again out of town and out of touch so-to-speak on political issues. Unfortunately, the town where my wife is from has no cell phone coverage for my carrier, so even my blogging compatriots could not get in touch with me nor can I submit articles via mobile device. I don’t [...]

The following information was delivered to me via email…

It seems that I’ve experienced a technical problem in my database. Performing a restore of the database resulted in the loss of all my posts dated after December 22nd.
I am endeavoring to see if they are gone for good or if I can find them elsewhere… No holding out much hope.
Regardless, I will be performing [...]
