Blogging With Ike

"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Does it really matter . . .

James Dobson has decided that Fred Thompson (ex-Senator R-TN) is not Christian enough.

Why is it that people need to be some super christian.

Does everyone have to wear faith on the sleeve and screaming it out-loud 24/7?


Sorry Jimmy - boy not everyone is like you.

It Is Finished

Now that I have finally and mean finally finished student teaching, I can cancel my Death insurance. Student teaching was long process. I know it was only 12 weeks. However, it seems much longer then that because of all the extra stuff you have to do. Not to mention all the extra duty you get nailed with.

However, I have finished and I am not complete. Send out the horns and trumpets.

Now . . . I just have to finish everything else.

Found a Coin

I hate playing coin sorter. I just discovered a nickel worth about $100. I have to touch and look at all the coins I have. I mean I have stacks of coins. So far I have gone through about 1/2 of the coins. While all this coin sorting has been going on, I have found several coins worth more money.

My nickel just sold on ebay for $89.12. Not bad for a nickel. Now if I can find some more of these nickels. Well back to coin sorting.

Evil Credit Cards

Run out to your Mailboxes on any given day and you will find that there are several credit card offers. Please do not fill them out. You do not need these cards and they will cost you a mint. I would encourage you to send these applications back. All of it, the envelope it came in and everything else. Why, should I have to pay to get rid of these items. Here in rural MN, we pay for garbage by the bag. Every bag is about $4.00 USD. I figure there is at least one bag per year. Plus all the time opening or handling them. My new process is to send them back to the evil credit card companies.

The HIl-Bil Stikes Again

I spent this past weekend being quite sick, it seems that while I was sleeping a lot of people turned agaisnt the hil-bil (aka Hillary Clinton). I think that while she was on the Powell furniture, the hil-bil placed foot into mouth.

This should not surpirse us. She will say anything and do anything to get elected. I am still of the opnion that she will never get elected to prsident, unless of course Jeb Bush or Dick Cheeny wins the nomination. In any case I think the hil-bil is just a side show that should be ignored.

Fight DVD Terror

I read a really funny article on slashdot about a physical pirate. All he did was complain that p2p networks were taking his business. Based on this I think the MPAA and RIAA should be happy. In this way there are fewer physical CDs and Movie going around out there.

On the same thought, the US government should then support p2p networks. Apparently, according to a Law and Order episode, terror boys are selling pirate dvds and making money to finance terror.

So when you are wanting to James Dean or Arnie in their motorcycle sunglasses tooling along the road . . . why should the government not support p2p to reduce terror?

Government Is Good?

Are still a government of the people, for the people and by the people?

With the intrusion of government in every aspect of our lives we need to have a Diet Comparison of government. Sweden is listening to phone calls. England is demanding freedom of travel unless you provide all kinds of information. The United States is doing all kinds of stuff.

People demand your rights. Call your elected officials and tell them you want to protect the privacy of people.

The Plan of Nancy

Looks like the democrats are in need of some Orlando Villas to help them decide what is needed.

Nancy has decided she needs to have a plan. The plan to get out of Iraq is kind of a joke. First. there is no chance that this joke will pass. This is the bill to add all the junk you want to say you did but do not want passed.

The president will veto and there is no chance of an override.

precision intervention technique

I was lookig at precision intervention technique used by cops. This is a form of deadly force to stop people from speeding. The cops hit the car and makes it spin. The Supreme Court is hearing the case. Needless to say I think this is horrid idea.

Think of it in this way you are on a Boat Charter and the boat cops do not like what you are doing, like drinking to much. Can they ram your boat?

You are flying a plane that the cops think is doing something wrong. Can they shoot the plane down? Can they ram the plane. Of course not.

Therefore the police should not be allowed to ram a car.
