Vacation

Big Frick is on vacation and will return Monday July 6th.

France’s Shining Star

Well, looks like I’m back to calling them French fries.
The world just celebrated the 65th anniversary of D-Day, when the heroic bravery of Americans along with her allies began driving the final nail into Hitler’s Nazi Party coffin. Who would have imagined those 65 years ago that in 2009 we would celebrate a free [...]

MSNBC And The Lonely War

Remember the poster from the 60’s that said “What if they had a war and nobody came”?
That is the way I view this supposed “war” between Fox News Channel and the poor folks at MSNBC. They are trying; Lord knows they’re trying, to create this rift in the public consciousness about how unfair Fox [...]

When Facts Get In The Way

Facts! We don’t need no stinking facts! When it comes to “global” warming you must first understand that everything you know is wrong.
That seems to be the premise on which most of the scientific reports are based. With volumes of data from points all over the globe, the manmade global warming factions [...]

Requiem For A Free Press

Although it has not yet been passed, the Obamanation Health-Care plan has caused the death of its first victim.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to mourn the death of a free and open press. It was not a sudden demise by any means. We have been forced to stand by helplessly and watch [...]

Obamanation Health-Care

Reality. What a concept.
In what he is describing as yet another historic opportunity Barack Obama stood before the American Medical Association and tried to explain his vision for lowering the consumer price of health-care while improving quality to all and availability to the poor and uninsured while absolutely refusing to do anything to lower [...]

Cuts That Won’t Heal

Every time Barack Obama comes out with another one of his historic groundbreaking initiatives all I hear is the song “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places” playing in my head.
News wires and television talking head shows are again buzzing with the latest in this string of misguided loads of poppycock. This time [...]

The McCain Prophecy Fulfilled

I don’t watch a lot of the celebrity news shows.
Sorry TMZ, Access Hollywood and the rest, but you just can’t depend on me for that 55 year old, conservative white guy demographic you have been craving.
I find most of the news today about the so called celebrities to be nothing but boring voyeurism about people [...]

The Audacity Of Being Wright

Barack Obama may no longer be sitting in pews of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, but the words he heard there still echo in his consciousness.
The Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright was back in front of the press microphones speaking with the same virulent, venomous hostility that he became infamous for during the [...]

Constitutional Life Experience

Life experience is an invaluable benefit in many areas, but then is it not also true that life experience can be a detriment in many areas as well?
That is the quandary I find myself pondering.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin formal consideration of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court right after [...]
