You Need…

I know, this is shameless self-promotion, but I have a couple things I need to get rid of.  If you are in the Knoxville, TN area, check them out on Craigslist.
Kitchen Table and 4 Chairs
Chilton and Motor Manuals – 1946-1966
Contact me through the information on those pages if you have any questions

Remember McCain’s Past

As I look at this evening’s Florida results I am highly disturbed that John “I was in Vietnam” McCain won the primary.  Now word is that Rudy Giuliani is going to withdraw and support McCain.  This is awful news for conservatives.  Clearly McCain’s lies about Mitt Romney’s support for timetables in Iraq worked for him.  [...]

Charter is Awful

I am fed up with Charter’s internet.  However, in my area there is really no other option that I am aware of.  I am paying Charter for a 5 Mb/s internet connection.  However tonight it is just over 500 Kb/s.  One TENTH of what I am paying for.  When I call, however, they are no [...]

Book Update: An Army of Davids

I have made a decision this year to be more intentional with my reading.  After all, as Charlie “Tremendous” Jones says, “You are the same today as you’ll be in five years, except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.”  I read, but this year I am turning off the [...]

-Tax rebates: Checks of at least $300 for almost everyone earning a paycheck, including low-income earners who make too little to pay income taxes, so long as they earned at least $3,000 in 2007. Families [...]

Property Tax Freeze Fleece

Recently the State of Tennessee voted to allow a Property Tax Freeze Program.  This permits individual governments to enact a property tax freeze for their constituents.  Blount County has voted to enact this for its residents.  I disagreed with the program from the start, but after finding out the details in a letter I received today, I am even [...]

Fred Thompson is Out

In a move that, after Saturday, did not surprise anyone, Fred Thompson has decided to drop out of the GOP race for President.
“Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” the former Tennessee senator said [...]

Clinton and Obama Clash Again

In what is becoming more amusing, the leading Democratics candidates for President continued their mud-slinging in a South Carolina debate last night.  The Wall Street Journal has an article on it.
The bickering between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama, who are running close in the early nominating battle, has been unfolding for weeks. But with a few [...]

New Marines TV Ad

I saw this ad for the Marines yesterday during one of the football games (the Pats/Chargers, I think).  Both my wife and I thought it was very cool.  Take a look for yourself.

Once again, this just reminds me to say THANK YOU to all those that have served and are serving our country in all the different [...]
