An Update On Why I Haven't Blogged Lately (If Anybody Cares)

If anyone still reads this blog, you will notice that I haven't logged a blog since November, shortly after we, as a nation, jumped on the fast train to the devil by electing those who openly subscribe to a socialist platform. Several things have been going on that have prevented me from writing.

1. I have a new job. I left my job of 11 years for an opportunity at a plant just up the road. I am the assistant controller working under a controller who will be retiring in a couple of years. My plan is to step into his job. This has really worked out to be a great move for me and my family.
2. I have a new baby. My wife gave birth to our fourth child on November 13, 2006. Blogging had to be put lower on the priority list.
3. I just have not really been inspired. Nothing has really peaked my interest to write about.

• I had posted on my brother-in-law and his divorce in the past. He recently went through mediation. Although his wife became more open with her affair, and the alienating between him and his children was obvious to all, he still came out of the divorce smelling like he had wallowed in a sewer. His wife has full custody of the children, although he has visitation with his son (his daughter, age 11, was given the option of visitation), and she got the house. His lawyer, in my opinion, determined that it would be unprofitable for him to continue to try to pursue the "equality" of divorcing men, so he basically advised my brother-in-law to take whatever offer his wife made. Now, he is worse off than he would have been had he signed the papers she presented to begin with, and he is $20,000 in debt.
• Harry Reid has said that if we follow President Bush's plan in Iraq, the war is lost. We lost the war when we allowed people like Harry Reid to be the leaders of our nation.
• One person on campus with a gun besides the Virginia Tech killer could have prevented a lot of deaths potentially.
• What does it say about the state of mind that we have in society, when, before a movie depicting violence on an animal, a disclaimer must be shown that states that no harm came to the animal during filming, but no disclaimers are required if violence is shown on screen toward a human being?
• The Supreme Court upheld that ban on the barbaric and immoral practice of so-called "partial birth abortion". Although a good sign, I am skeptical that the opinion did not have language that would permit a future challenge on technical grounds. I say this having not read the opinion.
• Why do so many liberals have such a problem with the "No Child Left Behind" act when Ted Kennedy was the author of the bill to begin with? Does anyone besides me remember President Bush inviting Kennedy to the White House for a screening of "Thirteen Days", just before Kennedy accused Bush of concocting the Iraq War at his ranch in Texas? This is what republicans always get when they jump in bed with liberals.
• Right now, in terms of republican hopefuls for president, none look too appealing.

By the way, thanks to Wadical for his mention of my blog in his acceptance blog for his award. I hope to be back to blogging soon.
