Last night on his radio show, Matt Drudge talked about President Bush’s visit to Florida yesterday for the Daytona 500 race. Air Force One, carrying the president and his wife, buzzed the Speedway.

Random Thoughts

February 15, 2004

I’ve been thinking about why I blog. I started this blog in November 2003, with the intent to “rant” between columns. I try to cover big issues in my column and day-to-day stories on the blog, like the Kerry scandal brewing. Every day there’s something new to think about and talk about. I also wanted [...]

February 13, 2004

I don’t usually do this, but I’m in one of those playful moods. Posted below is a sample of the e-mail I get from people with extremely low IQs. Ms. Barber, the CBCNR would like to inform you that you are 1 of 12 nominees for Sambo of the Year! Your name was submitted by [...]

President Kerry? III

February 12, 2004

More interesting things about “President” Kerry. R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. wrote a great article about Kerry and the moron vote: “The angry, stupid, political neurotic who has proceeded into middle age convinced that the world is against him/her.” Tyrrell discusses Kerry’s hypocrisy in making an issue out of President Bush’s military service. Tyrrell always uses [...]

Homosexual “Marriage” And The Will of the People

February 12, 2004

“The will of the people”: Those words fill me with such pride to be an American. The U.S. Constitution is the most astounding document even conceived. Its whole framework is centered around the “will of the people.” I wrote about some of my issues with amending the Constitution to ban homosexual “marriage”, and I provided [...]

Latest Column: What Black History Month Means to Me

February 10, 2004

“If Black History Month is to play any meaningful part in black advancement, we should emphasize the positive communal experiences rather than the spirit-crushing setbacks,” writes John McWhorter, linguistics professor and author of Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America McWhorter offers his assessment of Black History Month (BHM, my acronym) in “A New Black [...]

I have to acknowledge one of my “fans” who bought a domain name for me. This person heard me on Rev. Peterson’s radio show stumbling over “blogspot-dot-com” and rescued me! I’ve been meaning to do it myself, but you know how things get pushed aside. So if anyone asks you what my blog address is, [...]

The Death Penalty

February 9, 2004

A quadruple murderer named Kevin Cooper is going to be executed tonight (technically tomorrow morning). Anti-death penalty groups are urging California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to delay his execution. I’m reminded of the execution of Gary Graham in 2000. George Bush was still governor of Texas at the time, and I knew that when it came [...]

Vote for Me! Amen.

February 9, 2004

As long as I live I’ll never get over seeing the image of a rich white politician in the pulpit of a black church “preaching” to the congregation. Whenever I see a photo like this, I think of a widely-reported story about Al Gore at an NAACP event growling and trying to sound like a [...]

I feel the need to lighten up after blogging about heavy stuff all week. On this sunny Saturday afternoon, I’m sitting at my desk working on my column, which is due Tuesday. Indulge me. I got this idea from fellow blogger, baldilocks, who asked and answered a series of interesting questions. Here’s my version: 1. [...]

Pray for the Anonymous Cowards

February 5, 2004

I know I shouldn’t give an audience to anonymous commenters who leave nasty words and thoughts behind, but I want them to be aware that my commenting system records IP addresses, so an “unknown” poster is not really unknown in the sense that I can’t find out who they are. And I delete the comments [...]

President Kerry? II

February 4, 2004

For the faint of heart actually worried about John Kerry’s inflated poll numbers (CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey showed Kerry defeating Bush 53 percent to 46 percent; Newsweek survey showed Kerry defeating Bush 48 percent to 46 percent) here’s some relief.
