Gotta Have…
Posted on April 29th, 2006 by Todd W
A quick collection of fun things… I want to walk the mall using this. The use of this should be obvious. And an old favorite…

Many Updates
Posted on April 28th, 2006 by Todd W
You can probably tell, if you have stopped by here recently, that there have been a lot of changes. The template is coming along, and I’ve added some new features. There is now a ‘printer friendly’ feature should you wish to dump a long post to the printer and take it with you, perhaps to [...]

WordPress Upgrade

I’m in the middle of a WordPress upgrade, so the Blog might look a little funny for awhile. Please bear with me.

I do have a couple large posts in the pipeline regarding immigration and the military, so look for those soon. But for now, go check out this insanity.

Spock’s Beard
Posted on April 27th, 2006 by Todd W
I woke up this morning feeling better. The cold still lingers, but I can see that I’ll be back to normal in another day or so. I have that slight flush of energy in the wake of the cold, but I know it will dissipate by noon or so. Unfortunately, I failed to consider the [...]

Screwed up…
Posted on April 26th, 2006 by Todd W
Yeah, the format is all different now. This is why you don’t try HTML/PHP modifications with a head cold. It’s going to take me awhile to sort this mess out, so for now you’re stuck with a template I don’t really like. UPDATE – OK, getting closer, but still have things to fix. ANOTHER UPDATE [...]

Sick (and) Porn
Posted on April 26th, 2006 by Todd W
Colds are unpleasant. Which makes sense, because if they were a great thing, we’d spend all of our time going around licking doorknobs. And I appreciate the body’s capability to go after the microbial invader. I just wish the body had evolved a way to quietly present you with a nice text message – “You [...]

Blah
Posted on April 25th, 2006 by Todd W
Not feeling well today, so don’t expect any long posts or deep commentary. So go over here and take a look at this. And in a related vein, go read about this guy being “over” 911. Blah. Sometimes it all just wears you down.

A note on Excalibur. I’m happy to say I know someone who works on this project as a quality specialist. Good work, Kim.

Press Neutrality
Posted on April 24th, 2006 by Todd W
Republicans commonly complain about media bias, and many of those complaints are valid in my view. However, the remedy to this bias is not counter-bias to the right, which we see on Fox News. Journalism has a vital function in our Republic, and overt bias in either direction is harmful to our electoral process. It [...]

Michael Totten packed up his luggage and drove to Iraq like any other tourist. You can read the six part account starting here. Good reading.

Oh Yeee-ah, boyz!
Posted on April 20th, 2006 by Todd W
Have you seen the Avis commercial yet? I have a confession to make. I’m in that car. I’m an overweight dorky white guy in business dress, grooving to a staccato delivery of language that would mortify me in any other setting. I have become a huge (literally) Eminem fan. And in the interest of spreading [...]

Uncertainty
Posted on April 20th, 2006 by Todd W
I hate being a downer. This isn’t the best way to build a blog audience. People don’t keep coming back for a recurring litany of bad news or gloomy outlooks on the future. But I can’t seem to help it. We’re living in an age of rapid, unpredictable change, yet thematically, nothing much is changing. [...]

Republicanism
Posted on April 20th, 2006 by Todd W
The first Gulf War marked a major milestone in my life. I count that as my political awakening as I watched the buildup, execution, and aftermath of that conflict. I grew up as a default Democrat, the son of an auto union worker, accustomed to the idea that the Democrats were out for the little [...]

Pre-Empted
Posted on April 18th, 2006 by Todd W
I’ve been wanting to give a more substantive treatment to the mood that is coming through on my recent posts regarding the future. In the middle of wrestling with what I want to say, I came across a post that does it all for me, and probably better than anything I could produce. This isn’t [...]

Irrational Men – Part II
Posted on April 17th, 2006 by Todd W
Amir Taheri – go read it. In Ahmadinejad’s analysis, the rising Islamic “superpower” has decisive advantages over the infidel. Islam has four times as many young men of fighting age as the West, with its ageing populations. Hundreds of millions of Muslim “ghazis” (holy raiders) are keen to become martyrs while the infidel youths, loving [...]

The Danger of Incorrect Lessons
Posted on April 17th, 2006 by Todd W
Growing up in the seventies and eighties, I couldn’t help but be aware of those old men showing up on my television from time to time – Premiers Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, and Foreign Ministers Gromyko and Shevardnadze. These rumpled men in their rumpled suits represented an alien force. They were unfathomable, capricious men of an [...]
