I received an advance copy of Sara Groves CD “Fireflies and Songs.” I’ve heard a few of Groves’ songs on the radio and liked them but I’d never purchased one of her CDs. After listening to “Fireflies and Songs” I just might do so in the future. She’s got [...]
Some of you may remember that earlier this year I participated in Hoops of Hope to raise money for AIDS orphans in Africa.
Hoops of Hope was founded in 2004 by the then 9 year old Austin Gutwein. Last night I finished reading [...]
So here come the Dems again, sending up a trial balloon for a new Jobs Bill.
They sit in Washington and dangle the carrot of jobs creation before the American people and claim that if only they had more of your money, they could “create or save” jobs. They claim [...]
We were told early on that V.P. Joe Biden will be the sheriff to police the funds for “shovel ready projects” funded by the $787 Billion Stimulus. That he would “call out” those who misspent or wasted these valuable funds.
Now we discover that not only has Uncle Joe failed miserably [...]
Georgia Tech clinched a trip to Tampa Bay and the ACC Title game. After a week off we get a match against the hated UGA dogs.
I’m looking forward to celebrating a second straight victory.
[...]Glenn Beck today also reported on seeing and hearing the Obama Shout-Out last week. So I wasn’t hallucinating, no flashback from earlier times.

Peggy Noonan spoke tonight to the Georgia Republican Party and had this to day about President Obama:
[...]Every day you see the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile is a good day.
[...]Twenty years ago today the Berlin Wall fell. I remember it well, but to my kids it’s just another entry in the history books. Thankfully there are folks like Lee Edwards who have set out to remember the estimated 100,000,000 victims of Communism.
Also if interest is this video of [...]
Am I the only one who saw the President’s Shout-Out to Joe Medicine Crow on Thursday?
This was during the President’s response to the shootings at Ft. Hood, a live feed from the White House.
After the Shout-Out, the President turned on his somber face to call the deaths of 13 soldiers [...]

With the latest from DeDe Scozzafava, the stage is set for a Tuesday SWEEP !
The Republican Party will now overcome its split in NY-23 and romp to victory in New York, New Jersey and Virginia. This will bring Democrats to the realization that the Obama Nation may be short-lived and [...]
As I mentioned last week, I’m part of a new website called ifollo. The idea behind the site is to allow people to tell others about their personal encounters with various celebrities.

“The Copenhagen Shakedown”

President Obama’s foot dragging on deploying additional troops to Afghanistan is appalling and inexcuseable.
He appears to be using every excuse to delay his decision. First, he wants to gather all the ideas to come to the right decision. Then, he wants to consider the Gen. Joe Biden strategy of relying [...]
I sit and listen to the news, funds for the military being diverted to earmarked pet projects, OBAMACARE costs manipulated by Congress and the CBO, sweet deals in Congress, new taxes for us to pay- the list goes on and on and on.
I feel that I and my country are [...]
During the Summer, Jerry Nadler, Congressional Clown from NY, stated that Americans presently paid $1800 in their insurance premiums for the uninsured. He also proudly stated that this would be reduced when OBAMACARE was passed.
A study out today indicates that OBAMACARE insurance will increase costs $4000 for a family of [...]
I’ve decided to participate in a program called Hoops of Hope. It was started five years ago by a young man named Austin Gutwein who felt called to action after watching a video about kids in Africa who’ve lost their parents to AIDS. 6,000 children a day lose their [...]
I was pleased to interview Michael Medved this morning. Medved is a nationally known radio talk show host and best selling author in Washington state. I spoke with him about an upcoming event he will be moderating here in Atlanta called “Radical Islam and Rogue Regimes: Security Challenges [...]
Proving that words speak louder than actions, the Nobel Prize Committee has awarded President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. With unemployment continuing to rise, massive federal deficits as far out as one can project, Iran on the brink of obtaining a nuclear bomb, lack of talks between Israel and [...]
Tonight I dropped by a Bloggers Meetup at the Loafing Leprechaun in Duluth. Most of the folks in attendance are in town for the Catalyst Conference at the Gwinnett Arena.
I had a chance to meet a lot or really interesting people. There was Jonathan Acuff of Stuff [...]
As I woke up this morning, I was hit with three news items that are seemingly unrelated- or, are they?
First, the Michigan woman being harrassed by Children’s Services for watching her neighbor’s children while they wait for the school bus. Second, the “Sweetheart deal” to exempt four states from additional [...]
Here’s Gwinnett Daily Post critic Michael Clark on the latest screed from famed bloviator Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love Story.
As is often the case, Moore negates his better efforts by engaging in a series of grandiose money shots toward the end that make him look like a petulant fifth-grader [...]
It appears as though some tarnish may be forming on that crown Barack Obama is wearing.
First, General McCrystal tells the country he hasn’t talked to his Commander-in-Chief but once in the last 70 days.
Then, the Unemployment Rate, which the Democrats touted as an indication that their Stimulus Package was working, [...]
What Difference Do It Make?: Stories of Hope and Healing is the follow up book to the surprise bestseller Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together.
Aussie environmental activist Tim Flannery warns of war if something is not done about the environment….and soon.
If the world fails to reach agreement on tackling climate change soon then it could end in war, climate scientist Tim Flannery has warned.
War? Seriously?

My kids go to a private school so they didn’t get the day off, but Gwinnett County Public Schools are indeed closed today due to the flooding in Gwinnett and north Georgia this morning. With more rain expected today one wonders if they’ll be open tomorrow.
Meanwhile Lake Lanier, [...]
Heavy rains continue across north Georgia today. Last night at our house in Lawrenceville, we experienced quite a downpour accompanied by plenty of lightning and thunder. Our rain gauge recorded 5 inches last night, giving us a total of 8 inches since Friday. Our observations seem to be in [...]
I’m sure many of you have seen the commercials for the Post Office’s new “One Flat Rate Boxes.” You know, “If it fits, it ships.” They will even send you a free supply of boxes and include $160 worth of coupons.
Then they march postal workers into a business conference and [...]
Representative Dennis Kucinich from Ohio has a plan to give healthcare to all Americans at no cost.
He merely wants to confiscate all the profits from Insurance Companies to pay for it.
No wonder they called him “Dennis the Menace” when he was Cleveland’s Mayor !!

Lo and behold, the Gang of Six is nearing a compromise in the Senate. Yes 3 Democrat CLOWNS and 3 Republican CLOWNS have cut the OBAMACARE Bill down to a mere $880 Billion. How in the world did they do it?
If we let them talk a little longer, who knows, [...]
Both Serena Williams and Kayne West lost their cool over the weekend. Sadly for Ms. Williams, it cost her a spot in the US Open Final. The tennis season is over and Williams will have to wait until next year for a shot at redemption. For Kayne West, his behavior [...]
The Obama Administration says they knew nothing about the “Tea Party” in Washington yesterday.
Robert Gibbs states, “I don’t know who the group is.”
Sadly enough, I BELIEVE THEM. You see, this man and this Administration disregard the American People so much; They don’t give a DAMN what you think.
The Obama [...]
26 year old Michael A. Marti died on September 11, 2001. He was a bond trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, working in the North Tower which was struck by American Airlines Flight 11.
Marti is remembered as a person who always favored the underdog:

So, I along with others, wasted my Wednesday evening watching the speech. I did not waste any more time listening to the pundits disect it for me.
Of course, Obama threw some bones in the desperate hope to gain votes. Tort reform being one of them- but his message was [...]
Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC all agree: Van Jones resigned because he called Republicans a**holes and signed the 9/11 Truth Statement.
The 9/11 Truth Statement said, in part:
….we have assembled 100 notable Americans and 40 family members of those who died to sign this 9/11 Statement, which [...]
So, Max Baucus alerts the media that he is working on an OBAMACARE Bill that will only cost $900 Billion. That’s down from the $1 Trillion previously proposed.
Instead of strapping 10 future generations with massive debt- Max thinks it’s okay to strap 9 generations. And then he wants to tax [...]
From time to time I’m asked to make a video submission to the the Al Jazerra progam “Listening Post.” They pick the topic and ask my opinion. Here’s the latest such submission on the subject of Net Anonymity.
[...]For reasons I may someday explain on this blog, the timing of Max Lucado’s newest book “Fearless, Imagine Your Life Without Fear” couldn’t have been better.
There’s plenty of things to fear these days, just watch the news if you need a reminder. A recent poll showed 32% of [...]
