My Own Man

The blogging's been light (non-existent!) because I am my own man now.

This is my second month as a solo practitioner. I meant to commemorate the first day with an entry but was too busy. I guess that's a good sign:)

But so far, self-employment has been good to me. A bit of a bleg, however, on what folks have found to be the most cost effective form of advertising.

Nip/Tuck

The show used to be a guilty pleasure for me.

But the more that I watch it, the more that I thnk that it must be the most subversively traditionalist show on TV.

What appears to be the glamorization of a shallow, decadent lifestyle is anything but. Get beneath the surface and you see that the materialist, secularized culture is amazingly destructive. The ladies' man is utterly lost and confused. His mid-life crisis sidekick is so obsessed with physical perfection that he would kill his unborn son, an especially effective indictment given that his first son is not his biologically. And the children in the show are all shattered by their parents' hedonistic selfishness.

So get your liberal friends watching. They might learn something.

What Will We Do?

Israel fights Hamas and Hizbollah, the latter an organization which slaughtered our marines in Beirut.

Do we let Israel fight? Do we let them win?

Our do we join Professor Bainbridge and the international intelligensia? Do we cripple ourselves as we fight an enemy dedicated to our destruction? Oh, how proud we'll be that we didn't lower ourselves as they slit our throats.

Come down from the ivory tower folks or just keep your trap shut.

Know Your Role!

Susan Estrich joins the rest of the legal world in lamenting that a bagel maker - bagel maker! - had the temerity to run against a sitting judge and win.

It's the public's fault of course. They ignored ABA ratings. And, as Estrich warns us, the desire to secure our border translates directly to voting against people with foreign sounding names.

I understand Estrich's pain. That a robed master at any level deigns to submit to elections is demaning enough. To actuall lose that election is one slight too much.

Never Forget

I've been too busy to blog. But today I have no excuse. While I'm barecuing with my family and playing with my nieces and nephew, our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are risking it all for us.

Nothing I can say can pay them fr their sacrifice. But to those brave souls, I express my heartfelt gratitude and prayers for their safety as they offer their lives for our safety.

Thank you.

So What Do They Sign Up For?

"I don't think members of our military sign up to stand at the border for their two or three year tour of duty."

So says Dick Cheney on Limbaugh today.

You tell me. Would our troops rather be protecting Muslims in Kosovo or Americans in San Diego? We have plenty of troops to guard Germany but the President can only muster 6000 for our homeland.

The sad thing is, this administration has sold itself on being a "war administration." If a Democrat ran a war like this, we'd be screaming impeachment.

La Reconquista Marches On

A Mexican version of the Star Spangled Banner, with brand new words because the old one forgot to genuflect to illegals

Bienvenidos a Mexico del Norte, folks.

All Kneel Before McCain?

Rice at Southern Appeal makes a pretty weak case for supporting John McCain. Basically, it comes down to the hope that McCain might appoint acceptable philosopher kings.
