Rules Are For Citizens, Not Candidates!
Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | Leave a Comment
The important thing to remember about the freedoms we all enjoy in America is that they only exist if you follow the rules. At least, that’s what the politicians and the major media keep telling us (and my duaghter’s teachers keep telling her). For example, here’s a rule-
“A political party is entitled to have the names of its nominees for president and vice-president placed on the ballot if before 5 p.m. of the 70th day before presidential election day, the…
Cancelling The Christmas Trip
Posted on December 17, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
It took me six months to plan it, three months to pay for it and less than a week to cancel it entirely, losing about $650 in the process. Here was the itinerary:
- 12/26 - Early morning pickup of Z, heading up to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for a day of wild rides and coaster fun followed by an evening of watching Z ooh and ahh over the Holiday in the Park decor and the World’s Largest Christmas Tree. The…

An organization whose primary purpose is to reward its friends while simultaneously punishing its enemies.
Sure, that’s not what the dictionary says, but we all know dictionaries, like history, are written by “the man” 
The latest example of this truer definition of government comes to us from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) via Wired magazine-
The Government Accountability Office says the agency tips off some people with business before the commission in…
What, Exactly Is The Problem Here?
Posted on September 10, 2007 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment
According to Reuters, a woman in Beijing was “fired for talking back to her boss.” Why, exactly is this news? Why don’t we have news reports about the millions of other people who were fired today?
What’s that? You say, it’s a stupid reason to fire an employee? Possibly, but if that’s the case then the business will suffer for it and, ultimately, fail unless they change their ways. Hmm? It’s not fair? Why not? We’re talking about a private business…
