The iPhone 5 – A blogger’s best friend?
By: runnamuck (Diary) | September 13th at 09:09 AM |
With the release of the new iPhone 5, I find myself wondering why on earth a parent would make such a big investment for their teenaged child. Of course there is the fact that since EVERYBODY has one, your own youngster will surely expire if he/she is the only one left at school with “this old stupid phone.” (No matter that you bought it just | Read More »
The “F-Word”
By: runnamuck (Diary) | September 12th at 10:23 AM |
My older son is a thinking man. Not just that, he’s a conservative thinking man. He is my pride and my joy. Bill called me last week to discuss this whole concept the President has been yammering about – you know the part about how rich people are not paying their “fair share.” Bill wants to know what “fair” really is. And, as usual, | Read More »
The Prince of Prioritization
By: runnamuck (Diary) | September 11th at 11:20 AM |
All effective managers know that the secret to success is to control your minutes. After that the hours take care of themselves. When you start the day, you begin with a prioritized list and at the end of the day, you move the unfinished projects to the top of tomorrow’s list. If you don’t believe me, consult the many books by my former neighbor-across-the-lake, the | Read More »
The Emancipation Continues
By: runnamuck (Diary) | September 7th at 10:04 AM |
I live in a town where there seems to be a church on every corner. My town is also populated by a majority of people of color. Because I know my neighbors to be God-fearing people and governed by Biblical principles, it never ceases to amaze me that they still cling to the myth that they are Democrats. (I was even told recently that it | Read More »
The Anti-Christ?
By: runnamuck (Diary) | September 5th at 08:13 AM |
Am I the only one who gets a little creeped-out over this stuff? I read yesterday about the vendors outside the DNC hawking souvenirs which have Barack Obama depicted in Holy and Divine ways. Ewwww. If ever there was a President less holy than Barack Obama it would have to be Bill Clinton. Oh. Yeah. He’s on deck this week too. Double ewwww. | Read More »
A Map to the Future
By: runnamuck (Diary) | August 31st at 07:54 AM |
I can’t wait until next week. Now that the Republican National Convention has unfolded before us – now that real leaders have showed us the map to prosperity and told us about the journey their individual states have taken toward the goal of more and better – after the nominees showed us the plan and bid us come along for the ride, I just | Read More »
Presidential Panacea – Humility
By: runnamuck (Diary) | August 30th at 08:04 AM |
I learned a lot about a man this week, and what I learned about him brought back memories of another man I knew many years ago. On Tuesday evening, after New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie delivered his speech at the Republican National Convention, I heard a television political pundits talking about Mitt Romney’s facial reaction, or lack of such, when Governor Christie was praising | Read More »
There be dragons…
By: runnamuck (Diary) | August 29th at 07:24 AM |
Wednesday greetings from that land mass between New Orleans and Mobile – otherwise known as Mississippi! Here in the North Eastern corner of the state we are all well, dry and able to watch the RNC coverage without interruption. Not everybody in my household is as committed to a Republican victory as I am. My ancient mother, who shares my life and my home, | Read More »
Secrets No Longer
By: runnamuck (Diary) | August 23rd at 11:55 AM |
Last week I wrote extensively about the group of former members of the United State’s intelligence community who were speaking out against the leaking of national security information by the Obama administration. The group calling themselves OP Sec Education Fund, released a video last week (Dishonorable Disclosures) which has since gone viral blasting Obama and his administration for his history of putting covert operators in | Read More »
Hand-ling Immigration
By: runnamuck (Diary) | August 22nd at 02:08 PM |
On the one hand, you have Barack Obama who, not long ago, made an imperial proclamation rendering certain undocumented aliens and their families un-de-portable. This, mind you, wasn’t a new law, it was more like the breaking of an old one. Congress has been working for years to come up with a plan which would allow the illegal aliens currently living in this country a | Read More »
