Return

25 06 2011

I will be returning to this blog within the next week most likely.  I almost forgot how awesome it is writing this and look forward to posting regularly once again.





Happy Memorial Day Weekend

29 05 2010

Its always the last Monday in May.  Guess it really went right to the end this year.  And yes, I will do more posts now.  I just had to handle some personal issues which left little time for blogging.  But thats all done with.





New Media Study

8 03 2010

This doesn’t just suggest the media is biased.  It empically proves it!

New Year, New Blog

1 01 2010

Wow, 2010 always seemed like such a long day away.  I can barely believe that its finally come.  Its a whole new decade now – and 10 years since Y2K.  Almost 10 years since September 11th.  Time sure does go by fast.  I hope everyone’s got a good New Year’s resolution that they intend to follow through on.  I know I do.

Anyhow, I recently got one of those new Flip cameras that allow you to make a video with ease – just push the big red button in the center twice – one to start and once to stop.  And its got a USB connecter in the side that you can use to unload the footage right onto your computer when you’re done.  Stores about two hours.  I’ve been using it a lot and I’ve had a couple moments where I’ve thought – hey, that one might look good on Youtube.  So I’m going to be making myself a second WordPress blog and posting the link to it soon.  Unlike Pure Common Sense, this will be more of a personal blog and the focus will be on videos.





Why is Everyone so Obsessed with this Picture?

14 09 2009

It reflects the cultural stereotypes of the time, yeah.  But it doesn’t have any power today beyond what you give it.

battleshipBrief post I know.  Its late.  I’ll do a longer one later.





Busy the next couple of days

28 07 2009

But I will post again soon. REAL soon. Promise.





Happy Memorial Day

25 05 2009

Happy Memorial Day everyone!  I’m off to have lunch now with my grandmother, who is still holding strong at 95.  Hope everyone has a fun end to their three-day weekend.  And maybe watched a military flick or two on TV.

I Need A Break

13 05 2009

I love blogging, but sometimes there can be too much of a good thing.  Don’t worry, I’ll post again in a few days or so.





More Great Quotes

29 04 2009

“In former times, we constantly made jokes about different races…Every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought.  It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality…We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct.”

-Clint Eastwood

 

“People tend to tremble in the face of an imaginary danger and are too lazy to see the real one.”

-Douglas Reed

 

“The substance of the eminent Socialist gentlemen’s speech is that making a profit is a sin.  It is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss.”

-Winston Churchill

 

“Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job?”

-The editorial board of The National Post, a Canadian Newspaper

 

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”

-Dr. Seuss Read the rest of this entry »
