• Next Step

  The first part of the immigration application has been approved and we were able to get Social Security cards for the girls. This means that the concerns about them getting deported are over. Thanks to everyone for their help and support throughout. Once the final paperwork gets back, we can [...]

• Tony Snow -- R.I.P.

  This was a shocker to me. I thought he was doing better. Tony Snow, a conservative writer and commentator who cheerfully sparred with reporters in the White House briefing room during a stint as President Bush's press secretary, has died of colon cancer, Fox News reported Saturday. Snow was 53 [...]

• How Is Everybody Doing?

  Sorry for the long hiatus and thanks to everyone who emailed. My health has been very poor and I may be looking at surgery in the future because of stomach problems. The energy to blog just wasn't there. The fingerprinting ended up not going very well. For a facility where [...]

• Back Home

  We are finally back home and everything is ok right now. Most of this post is adapted from an email correspondence with very special friends and turned into a bit of a rant... the arrogance of government workers was very frustrating. But the play-by-play generally goes like this. The drive [...]

• Update On Legal Issues

  We're out of town to the "big city" for the rest of today and most of tomorrow for the next step in the application process. The applications were submitted and now the girls must be fingerprinted. Of course, it can't be done locally at a time of our choosing. It [...]

• This Is Too Funny Not To Mention

  LC JackBoot IC/A-OBR over at The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler posted a letter that gives some insight into the feminine mind. I'm not even going to excerpt it because it flows too well to break it up. I'll give a taste by posting one of the comments though. Kahlua and a hunting [...]

• Memorial Day

  With all the fine Memorial Day threads around, there's not much for me to add. To all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty... thank you. You are not forgotten. You will never be forgotten. See here. And here. And here. And here. (Check the original graphic! [...]

• Classical Music

  Now, my idea of classical music usually involves Olivia Newton-John, but others apparently have different ideas. A post by kishnevi at Horseman, Pass By! has a very funny link that prompts this discussion. I asked Machinist for his recommendation for an embedded classical music video and got this: Discuss....

• Metal & Magic

  First off, let me state that I don't get a dime for this (or any other compensation) and never will. When I make a recommendation it's because it's something I found worth recommending. This is an absolute must-check-out! There are books and lots of original artwork. Two special recommendations for [...]

• The MSM On John McCain's Campaign

  Here we go again. Another day, another negative McCain story. Republican John McCain has been slow to take advantage of his potential head start for the presidency against Democrats, who are better organized and generate more excitement among voters. Hmmm..... anything in there about the divisive race among the Democrats? [...]

• Justice Denied

  The guy commits murder and confesses. Sentenced to death, he gets a delay while the Supreme Court decides whether lethal injection constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. After the Supremes decide that things don't have to be guaranteed perfect (paraphrasing there) for them to be Constitutional, an execution date is scheduled. [...]

• That's Gonna Leave A Mark

  John McCain's chief media consultant has left the campaign because he doesn't want to work against Obama. Mark McKinnon, the chief media consultant to McCain, wrote in a campaign memo last year that if Obama won the Democratic nomination, he would not actively campaign against him. With the results of [...]

  Remember the Iranian teen who went to the UK for school and was almost deported after requesting asylum? I first wrote about it here, then had a follow-up post here. He feared being returned to Iran because while he was at school his boyfriend was found out and executed for [...]

• What Media Bias?

  Two stories came up on the Reuters feed at the same time just now. One was about Obama, and one was about McCain. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. Just contrast this... Obama to take big step in Democratic race Obama expects to claim a majority of pledged [...]

  Prince Charles is the latest "big-name" (feh!) to get sucked-in by the global-warming/climate-change/AGW/muddy-thinking imbeciles and proclaim that unless something is done RIGHT NOW!!!!, catastrophe will strike us all down. "We will end up seeing more drought and starvation on a grand scale. Weather patterns will become even more terrifying and [...]
