I happened to tune into the Sean Hannity radio show on the way home from work yesterday. I’m not a regular listener but I got crazy and pressed the AM button. I heard a self-proclaimed “black” person say that the presidency cannot be used to gauge race relations because Barack Obama is not the first “black” American President— he is the first “half-white” American President. Then today I read an article about the increased security at the inauguration because of white supremacist threats and the chatter online. As we approach the inauguration of a new American President, and as we celebrate the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr.

On this day in history, of 299,693 voters on FOXNEWS.com, 81% think that Obama will lower taxes for 95% of America. I just wanted to make a note so that should Obama be elected we can look back and see if it actually occurred.
Except you can’t give him the credit for the Fair Tax should by chance that actually come to pass, as BullDawgy has suggested the Democrats will push once they have control so they can take credit for it.
Oh and GO DAWGS!

I can’t believe I just hit CNTRL + ALT + DEL to try and put my Mac to sleep.

As you read all the articles about the 35th anniversary of Roe v/s Wade, remember to keep it real by removing the sterile, meaningless words like “abortion, terminated preganancy, and choice.” Here is one that I read.
Example 1
Before:
“These women believed that it was more responsible to terminate a pregnancy than to have a child whose  health and welfare could be in question,” Jones said.
After:
“These women believed that it was more responsible to kill the child than to have a child whose health and welfare could be in question,” Jones said.
Example 2
Before:
“I was very …

I got a new shirt for Christmas. It fits me in the shoulders really well, but it makes me look about 2 months pregnant in the tummy.
So it’s time for not so much a diet, but a reduction of sugar intake. The first cut back occurred in the morning coffee area. No sugar, all cream.
I’m not sure of the nutritional content and value of powdered creamer, but I do know that mixed with coffee and allowed to dry, it makes an excellent adhesive.

So here is a hearty shout out to the Dawgs for a great 2007 season! Thanks for providing an enjoyable distraction from the heartbreaks of life.
Now on to more important matters. I haven’t spoken publicly about this before as it seems to be a highly charged, emotional subject for all people. But now, I will make my position and actions known.
I wear Crocs and I enjoy wearing them. My old brown slip on shoes wore out and I was unable to find another pair at an affordable …

Bulldawgy has inspired me to set goals for this year. I must admit his eschatological goal was quite ingenious and is probably something I should put a little effort into myself. Not so much to find anything to mark my calendar by, but to be able to cut past all the misinformation, tradition and fiction for myself.
So here is my list so far. Keep in mind they are subject to change:

Organize all the digital photographs (iPhoto is great except when importing pics from older versions)
Organize the digital video tapes and import all the …

Being the end of the year and all, I guess I need to write at least one post for the month of December 07.
I don’t know if “funk” is the right word for it but I think that’s what I’m feeling — and I’m not talking about the musical genre. I’ve either been too busy to write, or when I stop to write something,  the subjects are either not worth posting or they are too complicated to write about effeciently and effectively.
Maybe it’s because of my appearance on FaceBook – are you my …

After reading a few of the “obligatory post-summer anticipatory Fall” blog posts, I have to wonder … is it Fall yet?!
Here it is Halloween and it seems like we’ve had a whole two days of sub-75 degree temperatures. I look out my windows and the leaves are still on the trees … and they are still green. (Does anyone else remember trick-or-treating and running through yards so filled with leaves that they came up to your knees?)
It feels like I’m in some kind of seasonal limbo. Next season, same as …
