Baccus for President
Chris Hill found me out.. it's true.
I'm running for President.
Now what?
A mishmash of thoughts on religion, life, technology, and whatnot.
Porcine Matters
Man... that was fast:
I don't know what Obama's intent was, and it doesn't really matter that McCain said it months ago. This is a classic case of not being aware of the context. And the context of Palin making the famous lipstick remark means that this old saying is off ...
Stupid AND Evil part 3
On Friday, Lauren said:
We are part of a social democracy. People rally around this Socialism= Bad motif, but they would be outraged if suddenly they were taken away. (I for one am a fan of the FDA, USDA, OSHA- I like knowing my food is clean- Remeber Upton Sinclair’s “The ...
What is modern conservatism?
Great quote from Lew Rockwell's speech yesterday at the Campaign for Liberty's Rally for the Republic (you'll have to overlook the Auburn connection - kidding):
What does conservatism today stand for? It stands for war. It stands for power. It stands for spying, jailing without trial, torture, counterfeiting without limit, and ...
What not
I have nothing really exciting to say, but Scott Coats is posting once a day these days, and a lot of the rest of my LiveJournal friends are seriously slacking off, so I gotta keep it going I suppose.
We're studying a Christian financial book in Sunday school right now in ...
Ron Paul Still Shaking Things Up
I'm still working through The Revolution - A Manifesto, Ron Paul's new book, but I thought that this report from the Nevada State Republican Convention last week was entertaining and revealing. Rather than allow the Paul supporters to take over the party, they shut the process down. One of the ...
The Revoltuion – A Manifesto
Ok, so I've laid off the Ron Paul stuff for a little while. There has been some silence lately from the campaign, but that's about to end with the upcoming publication of Ron Paul's Manifesto.
It begins thusly:
Every election season America is presented with a series of false choices. Should ...
Great McCain Parody
Hillarious.
Watched 60 Minutes' pieces with the 2 Democratic candidates. I like Obama. I do. I don't really support some of his ideas, but he seems to be a genuine, real person, unlike his counterpart. On a likability scale, I'd put McCain at the bottom, Hillary just 1 notch above ...
Why Ron Paul Will Not Quit
I know it looks bleak for Ron Paul when you look at what is going on with McCain, but my support continues unabatedly.
This blog post lays out how things could rapidly shift once we get to the convention, especially if we end up with a brokered convention. (Incidentally, Lincoln came ...
Ignor-ance
MTV did a chat with each of the candidates this weekend and unlike most of the media, they did not completely ignore the existence of the Ron Paul campaign.
You can find video of the MTV thing here. There are audio issues for the first couple of minutes. He does pretty ...

- Only to find out that it was an area outage. Their customer service should be able to see that there's an outage in the area. It's back up.
- Frustrating morning. UVerse went down last night (phones, internet, and all). Spent 90 mins on phone, they said Fri for a fix. Unacceptable.
- And so it begins. Been putting this off, but it's time to work nights and weekends for a couple of months. Not real excited about it.
- These are the kind of days that I'm thankful for the air conditioning teeth seats in my car.
- It's surprising, but the AT&T wifi router (G) with UVerse is giving me much better reception than my Airport Extreme (N+5Ghz) router does.
Apple Passes Microsoft
The New York Times posted a graph showing the stock price of Apple and Microsoft over the last 20 years.
It was announced a couple of days ago that Apple's market capitalization put it ahead of Microsoft, making it America's largest tech company.
I've been an Apple fan since our Elementary school ...
The single best month for music….ever?
There's a lot of good music out this month, there's more good stuff coming out this month than usually comes out in a year. They say that in economic downturns, creativity goes up. Maybe that's what's going on, regardless... I'm listening to all of this stuff:
I didn't count MGMT's new ...
The iPad After 2 Weeks
So, it's been couple of weeks, and I've gotten used to using the iPad, and I'm addict to it.
I purposely set out to only uses my iPad for home tasks when possible for the first few days. After the first couple of days of that, I don't reach for my ...
The iPad After a Few Days
My impressions of the iPad after a couple of days of using it.
First off, this thing is a little heavier than it should be. I wouldn't mind having just one battery, with the ability to add on our snap in the additional battery. I think the limitation of only having ...
Ron Paul 2012?
I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power.
Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll.
Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
