A great fall day

Today was a gorgeous fall day, the sun was shining and the temperature was about 70. Max had a football game this morning. During the warmup the guys did great, they were catching everything. Once the game started they ran their patterns, and they got open. The defense reacted to the changing formations on the [...]

Proselytizing Atheism?

There is a great post over on SIVACRACY.NET this morning. This is exactly what I believe in and have written about previously

Don’t click this link if you have no sense of humor about religion, e.g. if you don’t find this funny:

“As an atheist you have a number of rights and responsibilities. These include [...]

PETA is ridiculous

Mark Maynard has a good post this morning that is mostly about vandalizing SUV’s. For years I have fought back the urge to deface all those pristine Explorers, Hummers and especially Cayannes (Ferdinand Porsche must be rolling over in his grave ever since this one came to be. Porsche management should be ashamed of themselves). [...]

Even if you are not a Christian it is truly appalling how shrub and his cronies have abuse and twisted the words in the bible to their own [...]

On a positive note

My son Max plays on flag football team in the Ypsi Township league. The coach of the team he is on this year is just great. Bobby Johnson has probably the best attitude of any coach I have ever met. He really encourages the players to just do their best and have fun. He tells [...]

America is doomed!

Take a look at the top two stories on todays Detroit Free press front page.

At the same time that Delphi is demanding a 63% pay cut (along with cuts in pensions, vacation, and health benefits) they are giving their top executives a boost in severance packages if they lose their jobs. Here’s a [...]

Republicans are Hypocrites!

It’s amazing how hypocritical republicans can be. They keep harping about government being so bad and causing all of America’s problem. They want government to stay out everything except defense. Except when they want government to control personal behavior. Of course that only applies to behavior they disagree with. They don’t want government to tocuh [...]
