I stopped at a sample cart in Costco the other day when I saw the sign for “Organic“ Gluten Free crackers. I asked the lady if this meant that I could no longer get inorganic crackers made from non-living matter, like rocks and sand? She just stared at me and then started to recite the…
AB 1887 became law in California on January 1. This bill prohibits a state agency and the Legislature from requiring any of its employees, officers, or members to travel to, or approving a request for state-funded or state-sponsored travel to, any state that, after June 26, 2015, has enacted a law that voids or repeals,…
This was a phrase used by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first inaugural address of March 4, 1933. As with many famous lines, this one was borrowed from an essay by Sir Francis Bacon, who said, “Nothing is terrible except fear itself.” The use of fear in the political agenda is historic and generational. Every…
February 24, 2015 I’m involved in a new film about watermelons; you know, the zealous environmentalists who are green on the outside and red (like Marx and Lenin) on the inside. The movie (available on DVD) is titled: It’s Easy Bring Green, When You Have No Choice. As you think about the title for a…
Read an article yesterday that made me laugh out loud.

The only thing wrong with straight lines, is the exceptions along the way. Years ago I took a position with General Motors. I was assigned to a district that had slipped in penetration.

I’ve been discussing climate change with person on Facebook. I sent them the latest satellite photos of the polar icecaps to show that they are expanding. No need to have done so, there mind is made up. We will not live long as the emerging wars will be cut short by global drowning as the…
The decline of the United States is now being openly discussed on the news programs. The question being asked is not so much the fact of decline, as it is the choice of Obama, King Barry if you will, to cause a decline in America. The thinking is; if decline is a choice, it can…
It feels just a touch smug of me to talk about climate change immediately after one of the harshest winters in memory, but an article caught my eye. After years of having good people tell me I was blind to the evidence, the CEO of Greenpeace, not exactly a conservative fellow, stated that global…
The following article will be published in the January edition of the Buffalo Gap [Texas] News Roundup. I’m sure glad 2013 is now in history’s rearview mirror and I’m hopeful that the road ahead in 2014 has fewer massive potholes. Of course, once again, ruthless politicians created most of the past years’ problems for our…
