Damn The Torpedoes

“Our system did not work in this instance”
So says the Obama administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.  This, of course, after she previously said that the system worked just fine.  Kind of a variation on the old John Kerry “It worked before it didn’t work” type of logic.
The newly exposed shortcomings in airline security [...]

Boy Oh Boychick

Hey come on boychicks!  I was only kidding.
In an act so brazen, so completely supercilious as to be nauseating, Jimmy Carter has sent an open letter to the Jewish community apologizing for anything he might have said or written in the past that may have upset them.
May have upset them??????  Are you kidding me?  You [...]

Christmas Part 3

Another Christmas has come and gone.
All the frantic shopping is now replaced by all the manic returning.  The long lines at cash registers are replaced by long lines at customer service counters with each less than delighted gift recipient sorting through gift receipts and cash register tapes as they negotiate with the harried sales clerks [...]

Christmas Part 2

Our headline story continues:
Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.  This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.  And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.  Joseph also went [...]

Christmas Part 1

Lot’s to talk about.
There are a lot of stories right now that lead the headlines and keep the pundits in business, but none are as important as this one.
The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

I think it’s pretty obvious that I never bought into the whole Hope and Change thing pushed by Barack Obama and his Chicago political team.  Some would say that I’m too cynical; I prefer to think I am too realistic.
For me things need to make sense.  The [...]

Last Minute Shopping With Big Frick

Once again BigFrick to the rescue.
For all you lazy Luke’s and Last Minute Lucy’s; I feel your pain.  You see, I too procrastinate until the last possible moment before buying Christmas gifts.
It’s not that I don’t like buying people gifts; it’s just that I don’t like shopping, even for myself.  While some look at shopping [...]

The Modern Myth Part 5

An epilogue to our mythic fable.
There is no doubt that our fable could have been expanded far beyond the four parts previous to this chapter.  I may not have told the exact version you have heard or may have left out some of the details, but even amongst adamant believers there is disagreement on some [...]

The Modern Myth Part 4

Our mythic fable continues.
It had been billions upon billions of years since the Alpha Electron made its maiden journey through the endless void starting a series of fantastic events that eventually led to creation of living breathing animals inhabiting a small blue planet circling a bright yellow sun.
There had been no blueprint for this marvelous [...]

The Modern Myth Part 3

Our mythic fable continues.
As the sun rose on that fateful day over the now disassembling Mother Pangaea it was indeed a brave new world. For within the once-inorganic pools that Pangaea held within her bosom the first sign of life began to spring forth.
A single Mother cell, having been animated by the inanimate chemicals and [...]
