A Thought About Private Savings Accounts
I write in an earlier post that I didn’t see where the President’s private account proposal did anything to help the solvency problem the system faces. I still don’t. But I’ve been thinking a lot about them, especially today when I’ve heard a few talking heads on the Sunday shows speaking about the crisis/lack of [...]
Jimmie Around the Blogosphere
I have a couple more posts up at The Blue State Conservatives. You can read my opinion of Democrat Steny Hoyer’s courting of Ross Perot and my bafflement that the DC city government is playing nightclub landlord. There are a few other very good posts there. Go visit and comment freely.
Insights
I’ve gained a few insights today into the minds of groups of people that I often find somewhat unfathomable. I thought I’d share. First, we have a fascinating insight into the French psyche (or the English psyche, depending on whether this is true), from a London Times article today. Tucked at the end of an [...]
A Note About The Shack
I’m test-driving a new blacklist program to try to stop all the comment spam the blog here’s been experiencing. There may be a bump or two as I figure out what options to set (though I think I have them set correctly right now), so please bear with me. (and yeah, Jon, that move to [...]
Hey! Where’s the Content?

I’ve read nothing but good about the newest version of WordPress and I want to take advantage of all the goodies it has to offer. Unfortunately, the upgrade process looks ever the teensiest bit beyond my capacity to understand. Basically, it [...]
Whoopsie! Where Was I?
I completely forgot to mention that bloggig was going to be very, very light for the next three days. I’m in a Critical Incident training class up in Baltimore (that’s pronounced Bawlmer, hon! to all of you not living in Maryland) until Saturday, so I’m nowhere around a computer. But I’ll try to post a [...]
Some Eason Jordan and Jeff Gannon Stuff – The Special Gloating and Crying Edition.
Yeah, my glee here knows few bounds when it comes to Eason Jordan. How could you not feel just the teensiest bit triumphant when, last night, media outlets everywhere had to report on the Eason Jordan resignation without ever having covered the reason he resigned? That’s worth a couple “Woo Hoo”s, I think. And, of [...]
