Replaced the Radio in the Jeep

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Due to some crackling noise in the radio in our Jeep, I had to replace the radio/cd player. Thanks to the internet, I found some great instructions for removing Jeep Grand Cherokee Factory audio components. Meanwhile, major kudos to Crutchfield for their kit (which allowed me to do all the wiring in the [...]

The Lost Liberty Hotel

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Thanks to Brandon Corfman and to Michelle Malkin for finding out about the proposed Lost Liberty Hotel. Essentially, the author suggests that a hotel be built in Weare, New Hampshire, on the current site of Judge Souter’s home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater [...]

Bono Shows How it’s Done

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

In a recent FOXNews.com article about Bono, David Asman observes that Bono is not quite like the typical celebrity. My favorite part here is Bono’s response to people thinking America doesn’t do enough:

The interviewer bated him several times to go after the U.S. and President Bush in particular. But Bono wouldn?t bite. ?I love [...]

Supreme Court Shows Its True Color

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Anyone who believes the US Supreme Court is dominated by conservatives needs to look at recent rulings.

Father’s Day and my Dad

Monday, June 20th, 2005

New RSS 2.0 Feed Available

Saturday, June 4th, 2005

I now have a validated RSS 2.0 feed available for this blog. This feed supports my new permalinks so that if you click on the entry in your aggregator, it should take you to just that entry by itself. That’s the beauty of my hacked-up method of using blogger: I chose to have [...]

Another great site — Overlawyered

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

Just poking around for something totally unrelated and I found Overlawyered.com, a great site related to:

…an American legal system that too often turns litigation into a weapon against guilty and innocent alike, erodes individual responsibility, rewards sharp practice, enriches its participants at the public’s expense, and resists even modest efforts at reform and accountability.

I don’t [...]

Grayson’s Amazing Friends

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

Earlier this week, we had Julia, Lauren (twins age 7) and Emily (age 10) over for a couple of days. The girls are daughters of one of Grayson’s teachers — the ever popular “Miss Ellen”. As always, we had a busy but great time with them. Right before they left, Grayson had [...]
