The temptation

The temptation, after today's tumultuous Democratic Party Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting awarded half voting rights to all Florida and Michigan delegates, is to throw up ones arms in despair. Honestly, this is exactly--exactly--why so many of us despise the Democratic Party: They'd rather break rules (or laws) than make anyone feel badly. How they can...

Another crazy Friday night…

...in which Ty defends Hillary Clinton, child porn, and the rights of polygamists. Aren't you glad you tuned in? My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it. —Hillary Clinton An...

Gay Marriage

Ok'd in California by today's state supreme court ruling. Majority of folks under 35 can't figure out what took so long, and the demographic trends toward greater acceptance couldn't be more plain. I expect gay marriage to be common and sanctioned by most state governments within the next 5-10 years. But I could be wrong: It might be much sooner. I recall...

A Bad Night for the Democrats

And I'm not the only one who thinks so. I still don't see Hillary's path to the nomination, though. Especially when she has no money. In fact, I continue to believe that an Obama nomination is just a matter of time.

Overpopulation…or not

I get arguments occasionally from people who believe Erin and me irresponsible for having more than two kids. As long-time readers know, I've never bought this line of reasoning and while time doesn't permit a full-fledged essay on my viewpoint, I wanted to tackle the issue of overpopulation briefly since it seems to be the linchpin in many folks'...

America Off-Line

Online fascists battle intellectual freedom. Freedom 1, AOL 0. Steve Case as Oliver Cromwell minus charm. And brains. My fight for truth, justice and the other thing. Fun for the whole family. AOL: Get Your Tricycle Off the Superhighway Long the laughingstock of the high tech intelligensia, America On-Line (commonly abbreviated DOA) has truly outdone themselves since December 1996 in providing almost daily comedy for Internet users everywhere. Well, everywhere but on AOL,...

Chiropractic Treatment: One Man’s Tail

Taking a break from the otherwise hum-drum world of painfree living, I injure my lower back and enter the Land of Oz where I meet the Wizard, his lovely assistant Dr. Kim and his still-searching-for-a-brain heavy, Juan. In their delightful wonderland of chiropractic treatment, I discover the joys and benefits of this pseudo-medical care. No longer branded "complete nincompoops" by the American Medical Association, these chiropractic practioners revel in their "partial...

Iomega Jaz

You don't want to know how long it took for me to get a functioning Jaz drive from Iomega, but I tell you anyway. Mein kampf in less than a page. Heart of darkness ("The horror! The horror!") to Shangri-La. Eighth wonder of the world or desktop Three Mile Island? Presenting yet another sure-fire insomnia cure of a review. In a move that, in terms of sheer idiocy, must have rivalled Custer's strategy (i.e. "Let's git'em!") at the Little Bighorn, I bought one of the first Jaz...

Quicken 7 Deluxe: Cashflow is King

Another typical, haphazard review of questionable quality. Written after one hour's use of the product. Random mutterings by a confused man. Basing a buying decision on this is like trusting O.J. Simpson at cutlery convention: not for the faint of heart. Virtually No New Ideas... What's different this time around for users of Intuit's popular Quicken personal finance software? Not much, and God knows you can only carry this charade so far. Once you have the basic Quicken...
