…for the lack of blogging these past few days. Work has been a bear, and working in quality time with family and friends has really pinched the available time. Not that much has been missed, however:

The loony liberal left is still trying to destroy Miss California Carrie Prejean simply because they don’t like her views on gay marriage. Liberals love to preach tolerance, but only as long as you agree with them. Otherwise, it’s you that’s intolerant.

A federal tax on soft drinks to pay for national health care? What about caffeine-free and sugar-free? They’re good for you, aren’t they? I know Tracey won’t be happy…

Speaking about the Prez and his healthcare agenda… I’ve been saying all along that Barack Obama’s first priority ought to be focusing on fixing what government has already screwed up royally – like, for example, the Social Security and Medicare messes – before he adds healthcare to that list of programs the government has mismanaged beyond repair. The fact that he’s even thinking about sticking to his radical left/progressive agenda in the face of news like this tells me he’s either reckless or ignorant. Since I doubt he’s the latter…

Espionage at the America’s Cup trials? Me, I always thought one way to truly make the America’s Cup races for interesting is to allow each boat to have one – and only one, no cheating – machine gun mounted on the front deck.

One of the joys of hanging around with my folks is the crossword puzzles I get to do. They have plenty of crossword puzzle books around as well as the daily Lowell Sun puzzles. Lots of fun, keeps the brain cells active.

…not to mention going to BJ’s with my folks to pick them up a new printer. Their 14-year old Compaq finally died, so we found a nice Lexmark X6650 for $90. They have great prices at BJs – nothing like seeing the Lexmark X4975 I bought at Staples for $180 a month ago at BJ’s for $145. Need to get me a card….
