Postponement of Edition 3 of Small Bites and New Endeavors

I know, I'm failing. I have bosses who have massive amounts of use it or lose it holiday/comp time. They are being forced to take whole weeks off, which means, I have to step in and play boss. This translates to Amy is not overly available for anything but work. My poor chinchilla has had to postpone his moving plans (from a cozy cottage to the penthouse suite) because mom doesn't have time to put his new house together. There's a 200 pound cage in my dayroom, still in the box. My middle daughter has had to pick up the slack, doing many things I should be doing, but can't, because well..work.

So while I have a few minutes I thought I would take a moment to put together a post to tell you all about a new endeavor said middle daughter and I are trying out.

We've noodled the idea around for a year, but have finally decided to give a weekly podcast a try. We will most likely attempt to run it through Facebook or Youtube, but the odds of us getting jailed are pretty astronomical. We won't toe the acceptable line on what you can speak about these days. We aren't known for that. Heck, my American flag is still being flown upside down.

It doesn't yet have a name, but our first episode will be immigration centered. The current crisis, and yet is is a crisis, on the southern border, enabled by the words of our current President* and his administration deserves some illumination, not just about the crisis, but about immigration policy as a whole. So, hopefully, you will see us live on Friday evening. After 9 pm. When the the little ones are in bed.

Oh, and also, small bites will return this Friday/Saturday.

The Taking Down of a Soundbite.

I saw this cartoon this morning on Facebook, and I thought "wow, what a bunch of fallacies." This cartoon embodies the majority of Democratic Talking Points since 2008 (with a notable absence of the "War on Women" theme... hmm... wonder why). The thing with this cartoon is, many of these arguments can't be boiled down into signs. They aren't bumper sticker slogans. They are real issues, with much deeper thought processes. I'm going to take just a few. 1) We want dirtier air and water so CEO's can make more money. This issue has to do with the Environment. It stems from things like the Kyoto Protocol, and various other internationally pushed treaties to help prevent Global Warming, er um... sorry, Climate Change. Recently our President made a deal with China, whereby we cut our Greenhouse Gas Emissions, while they commit to maybe, possibly, making changes 20 years down the road. The problem with all of these solutions is that they cost

When Feelings (and apparently Justices) Don't Need Facts

I have a few questions about the vaccine mandate that no one seems to be able to answer. The mandate makes little sense to me, because of these questions. If those who want to be vaccinated, are vaccinated, and the vaccines effectively protect against serious illness and death in most cases, then what is the compelling interest in forcing the vaccine on people who don't want it? We now know (despite previous statements to the contrary) that the COVID-19 vaccine does not prevent a person from catching and spreading the virus. If you need proof of that, look to major sports in the US. Despite the vast majority of players being vaccinated, COVID has spread like wildfire through the ranks of the NBA, NFL and NHL. It got so bad in the NFL that they changed their policies. So, if a vaccinated person can spread and catch the virus, how exactly does the mandate protect anyone? Does the mandate violate equal protection under the law by requiring vaccine mandates for business with 10

Observations 10-26

I generally stick to writing my own stuff, not posting the writing of other people. My whole point in having a blog is to have my voice heard. Maybe that's a little narcissistic. You will have to decide. I have, however, decided to have a feature in this blog called Observations, where I take something I've read, and share it with you. Then I'll make my own comments. (I can't not comment. It will kill me haha.) So, from this morning's reading: From Mary Mapes's monster Share Post Print October 26, 2008 Posted by Scott at 7:04 AM In 2004 Mary Mapes was the celebrated CBS News producer responsible for stories that had won her the recognition of her peers. In September that year she produced Dan Rather's 60 Minutes II report on President Bush's military service that was exposed as fraudulent the following day. CBS commissioned an internal investigation (the Thornburgh-Boccardi report) demonstrating in detail
