Yes, I AM Easily Amused!
If ya didn’t know, I went to see the doctor today. Now, that has absolutely nothing to do with this post, other than the fact I’m a bit on the, shall we say “woozy” side of life right now, and even though there are things I’d like to post on, I know full I might come off sounding a bit, well, either utterly irate, or… Well, let’s leave it at that.
So, what do I do? Well, I snooped for ‘toons, and checked out interesting visitors to my site.
I’ve had a few lately, including the “U.s. Senate Sergeant At Arms” but when I looked closely at what brought Mr Gainer’s office to my humble site, I almost fell off my chair.
Just in case, the actual link is here.
Now, why did I find this so amusing? Well, I did NOT use the tag “tea party” on the post at all, which you can check for yourself. Or, just perhaps, they have ME ‘tagged’ with Tea Party? Heh.
Ok, maybe it’s just the medication.
No Title Necessary
Bless His Yankee Heart!
I’ve been having some computer issues recently, so finally broke down and asked for some help. Did you know that someone way up there in Wisconsin can connect to your computer and fix stuff? Well, ok, so I’m technically challenged. Hush!
The last couple of days, Mr Chad has been invading my computer. It’s kind of funny to watch things happening on the screen when you aren’t touching anything. Finally had to turn the thing away from me cuz the cats wanted to play with the ‘mouse’. Yeah, he charges, but it’s a whole lot more economical to pay him, than buy a whole new computer, don’cha think? Yeah, the Mr thought so too! 
Freedom Of Speech Via the Internet
Control freaks want web licences to end bloggers’ anonymity – be very afraid
by Gerald Warner
The American blogosphere is going increasingly “viral” about a proposal advanced at the recent meeting of the Davos Economic Forum by Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer for Microsoft, that an equivalent of a “driver’s licence” should be introduced for access to the web. This totalitarian call has been backed by articles and blogs in Time magazine and the New York Times.
As bloggers have not been slow to point out, the system being proposed is very similar to one that the government of Red China reluctantly abandoned as too repressive. It was inevitable that, sooner or later, the usual unholy alliance of government totalitarians and big business would attempt to end the democratic free-for-all that is the blogosphere. The United Nations is showing similar interest in moving to eliminate free speech.
Howdy!
Reckon this post got someone’s notice, eh? They could have saved themselves some trouble and just gone to The Foundry. 
Umm….since when is the U.S. House of Representatives in Manassas, VA? Curious.
Hey, did ya know this particular visitor uses Chrome? Wonder if they like it. I’ve been very hesitant to ‘upgrade’. Hmmm….
Dear JayS
Your comments will not be approved. Why? Well, it’s quite simple….you….are…..a…..MORON! You might as well stop wasting my time, and yours.
Blogging Lite
I’m spending the weekend with Jr, aka oldest granddaughter, so instead of spending time on the computer, we’re gonna do some shopping, go to a movie, and find various ways to stuff our faces, and yap, like female tend to do. Not to say I won’t be putting something or another up, but my usual Saturday Afternoon links will probably be extremely short, or nonexistent. Pray for my nerves! Heh.
Whoo Hoo!
The infamous Miss Phelony Jones is back in the blog world!! ‘Bout bloomin’ time! 
Blog Net News
UPDATE: Seems the problem is fixed. Whoo Hoo! Yep, the boss is a good guy! 
For reasons I cannot explain, the Blog Net News (“broken link”) site has vanished. If you aren’t familiar with it, it is a nationwide directory of blogs from all sides of the spectrum. The main site with links to all states has just disappeared. I’ve tried contacting the head honcho, but haven’t had any luck. I’m hoping there will be an explanation eventually. In the meantime, Righty Blogs seems to still be up and running. Unfortunately, Progressisphere does not.
Help Needed
If you are a reader of really GOOD conservative blogs, you’ll be aware of the loss of one of the good guys, David Hinz of The Minority Report, last Friday morning in a car accident. Arraignments have been made for services in Michigan. The family is asking, in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made to help with the financial end of things. We all know that funerals, etc., have become so expensive, sometimes it’s difficult to provide for loved ones. I pray, if at all possible, that my readers will help out with a donation, large or small, at this difficult time for the Hinz family. If you are so inclined, you can also leave a message of condolence here.
From The Minority Report
Rest In Peace David Hinz
By Steve Foley
It’s with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you that my friend and online partner David Hinz was killed this morning in a auto accident. I don’t have all the details right now but the weather was bad and black ice was most likely what caused the accident.
Dave was on his way to work, at Fed Ex, when it happened.
A consummate warrior for freedom and liberty Dave was not only a brilliant writer and seeker of truth… he was someone I was proud to call my friend.
I’m obviously devastated by this news today… so I promise to give you more details and properly eulogize my friend in the coming days.
Please keep his family in your prayers!
The conservative blogosphere has lost a true gem today. One of the REAL good guys. My most sincere prayers with his family!
Are Ya In Shock?
I took the day off, and ya know what? I thoroughly enjoyed it! No politics, no drama! It has been GREAT!
The Mr and I shared a quiet, LARGE meal of turkey, etc. We will, no doubt, be having turkey for the next month or so. Naw…he likes the stuff more than I do. Heh.
Now, back to oblivion for a few more hours, then bed! See ya tomorrow! I’m fairly sure it’s still the S.S. D.D. scenario.
Note To Commenter
To the jackass who refers to himself/herself as “white power”: Not one single comment of yours will EVER be approved! Never! So, do us both a huge favor, and stop bothering to leave them. There is nothing you have to say that adds to the conversation. To be honest, I’m not at all surprise to find someone of you ilk living in a city such as Milwaukee, near Layton Ave.
No Holds Barred
Hassan Nurullah of Digital Publius fame, is probably one of the best Christian bloggers around. Well, in my opinion at least. He says what many of us think, and says it quite strongly, no word mincing for this guy. His most recent post, The Voters Stupid, is no exception. Please, go read it!
The “Tolerant” Type
Do you ever get the feeling that some people are from a totally different planet? I’m starting to believe that there are a few folks who just don’t like people, like me, who do not think in the same manner as they do. It’s becoming more and more obvious that the oh so tolerant left are incapable of realizing that not everyone chugged the kook aid.
I’ve been called a lot of names in the last couple of years by those tolerant thumb twiddlers. but this was a first.
The link provided by this genius is not actually a link to anything. I guess he/she/it couldn’t think of anything to put in the line, so had to project his/her/it’s ignorance. What I find so amusing is that the comment is attached to a post from 30 May 2008! Now, being the type of person I am, if there was a legitimate difference of opinion, I would have approved the comment, but since it adds nothing whatsoever to any discussion, I decided to just a make a post about it.
Isn’t it amazing that so many loony tunes forget they are not as anonymous as they’d like to believe?
