SERIOUS QUESTION: The morning after Halloween, you find the heaviest piece of furniture in the house about 8 inches from where it usually is, with no explanation. Everything else is perfectly normal. Thoughts?

I will freely admit I didn't pay much attention to Herman Cain before recently, simply because I believed he couldn't possibly go anywhere. But the more I see of him, the more he impresses me. The more I think he...

This is a must watch: The Waco reference really helps put things in perspective.

I have been waiting for this: This is going to be a great campaign and a great election.

Readers may have noticed: I almost never post anything here. It is not that I am inactive. It is simply that almost all my posting is done on facebook these days. It is quicker and easier and I have a...

Hey readers, if there are still any of you out there, check this out: GullyDad has been working long and hard on researching and writing about an aviation feat that was vitally important, but is now largely forgotten. The "Truculent"...

Tragedy in Oregon today. Lisa Zielinski, an integral member of AM radio KYKN in Salem, was murdered in what appears to be domestic violence. Lisa was one of my many facebook friends - one of many Oregon conservatives who shared...

Oregon Secretary of State, 2012. No other race in Oregon will really matter that year. Sure, the legislative races are always important, but they are the same every two years. Meanwhile, there will be no governor race, no US senate...

What is the difference between Meg Whitman's former housekeeper and Barack Obama? The media is actually looking into Meg Whitman's former housekeeper's citizenship documents.

Here is the truth about tax cuts and revenue: When taxes are low, the economy is strong. More people move money from one person to another, from one business to another. Moving money is the driver of profits, and profits...

In 2006, angry voters turned Congress over to the democrats. Two years later, the White House to Obama. What has happened since? Now, what should we DO about it?

The Mrs. and I were watching TV when we heard a loud “thump” come from outside. The sound was easily identified: it was the unmistakable thump of a bird strike on a window. I ran over to the other room...

The photos don't do it justice - just can't really capture the true colors with this camera. But anyway... Notice as you approach, the bedroom walls have a soothing soft green paint now: That's also a new light on the...

Ok, ok... I can't just give up on the blog. I have too much invested in it - not money, but work, sweat, tears... But lately it has been so neglected, it needs to be reborn into something cleaner, up...

I am thinking of getting out of the blog business. I don't post much anymore. And few people come here looking for updates. And I feel quite powerless. And hosting this costs money. Is ANYONE reading? Does ANYONE care what...

Geez, I was joking before when I said Obama would fix the BCS. And now this is a priority for him? We have massive unemployment and it is getting worse. Wall St is rollercoaster. Spending is out of control. Deficits...

But some stories are so awful they need to be told, lest we allow them to happen again: Man sees doctor for the first time in 65 years. Why so long? His last doctor: Josef Mengele.

Wow - less than a year in office, and "the One" has sunk lower, faster, than any other President in his first year. Where are all those liberals now? You know, the ones who kept saying Bush's low approval numbers...
