We was robbed

The Republicans really took it on the chin yesterday. Lost both houses of congress. Along with some weak links, some very good people got tossed on their cans as well. It's probably just as well, since the Republicans were governing much like the democrats anyway...spending out the waazu and doing very little to curb the illegal immigration problem.

I see no obvious leader for the Republican party. We need someone who can articulate a conservative agenda, someone who isn't afraid to stand up to the leftists in the democrat party and the MSM, and someone who had the communications skills to defend his agenda. Dubya certainly hasn't been that person. His speach to the Nation shortly after 9/11 was the only time he seemed to be able to pull things together. Although I'm sure he's a smart guy, he really does come across as somewhat dimwitted. John McCain is not the guy. He's way to "moderate" for any conservative leaning person. He is a bit more articulate than Dubya, but I believe he's prone to coming unglued when really pressed. A little of that is good, but I think he's a bit much. Not sure about Mitt Rommey. He might be good, but his Mormon background will certainly be used against him.

I believe the party needs to move to the right. That seems to be what works well.

I'm Back

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, although there's been a lot going on. I've changed jobs twice this year...not sure how long this one will last either. I don't really have a lot to do at the moment.


As you can see, I bought a new truck. We gave the Grand Prix to Jonathan, so I had to get a truck.

The Daily Grind

I'm somewhat conflicted with the new job. On the one-hand, it can be fun and involve things that I've done in the past. On the otherhand, Steve Chill can be very difficult to work with. I suspect he's overworked and thus misses some of the importance of some issues. Perhaps I should try to pursue something less stressful. Maybe I should spend more time with the blog. I'll think about it.

Almost a year

It has almost been 1 year since Willie, Rarit, and Richard died. Jonathan and I viewed the DVD of the funeral service yesterday. It was like it had just happened. I am sure the pain will never go away. I still think about them everyday, especially when I'm in the car.

I wish I had planned things better. I really wanted to go visit the grave site on the 17th. I need to plan a trip there soon. Perhaps I'll make a detour through Camarillo on my next trip to CA.

I miss them so much.

Back online

I'm back. It's been quite awhile since my last post. I'm now settled in Virginia.
