I don’t carry a gun, nor do I live in the inner-city or out in a rural area, so firearms aren’t usually a part of my daily “scene” or concerns. Of course, the local “Shooters” store down the road reminds me that there are plenty of people in my neck of the woods that are […]
But would you, could you, like them with a tax? Would you, could you, with Goldman Sachs? Would you like it with Al Gore? Or with Pelosi? (She’s such a bore!) Or would you, could you, in a mob? Since most people have no job. Oh that’s right, the money’s tight. So to the press […]
Guess what? I got my tax refund from the IRS today! $45!!!! Woohooooo!! I’m treatin’ myself to a Big Mac Value Meal! Of course, most people who get a paycheck and have to buy stuff have taxes at least at the back of their mind all the time. They hit us from all sides. And, […]

That was the one that came out a year or two ago, hosted/narrated by Ben Stein, that looked at incidents where educators and scientists were ridiculed, denied tenure, and sometimes fired simply for believing that there might be evidence of design in nature. Well, here’s another […]
Seven TRILLION electron volts! (7,000,000,000,000 eV) Or, 7 teraelectron volts. (7 TeV) Holy bug-zapper, Batman, that sounds like a lotta juice! If only we could bottle it, that would be one great “alternative” source of energy. Hold on, cowboy! We’re talking electrons, here. You know how small those things are, right? Fact is, one mosquito […]
Heavy Thinking =========== Are You a Problem Thinker? It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone – “to relax,” I told myself – but […]
