IDIOT

HEADLINE-The Obama administration has ordered an end to use of the phrase "Global War on Terror," a label adopted by the Bush administration shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Congratulations to the Obama administration. They have come full circle and completely forgotten about September 11th. This is the worst kind of idiocy. The dangerous kind. Terrorists were at war with us before September 11th and will continue to be at war with us in the future. If you are walking down the street and you see that a car is about to hit you, closing your eyes does not make the threat disappear. You will still get hit. A child can understand this logic but Nobama does not.

There are certain people that inhabit this earth who are evil (terrorists, murderers, rapists). These people cannot be appeased nor can they be reasoned with. They must be confronted, called out for what they are, and defeated. Calling the war on terror an 'Overseas Contingency Operation' does nothing but empower those who want to do us harm. It shows them that we don't even have the balls to call them out anymore.

Also, I hope you noticed Obama's recent failure to make nice with Iran. The president made a video saying that he was "committed to diplomacy" and that he wanted to pursue "constructive ties" between the US and Iran. That crap sounds all nice and fuzzy, but guess what Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei said in response. He called Obama another George Bush (whom they hate with a passion) and then called Israel a "cancerous tumor". It was a nice try, but once again shows what a naive amateur Obama is.

Tuff Gong


My family and I enjoyed some Bob Marley tunes this past weekend. I've been listening to those songs for years and tend to sing along without thinking too hard about the lyrics. I must say that Marley has some powerful lyrics regarding faith. I do understand that there are major theological differences between the Rastafarian religion and my own. I still consider them to be Christian due to their monotheistic belief in God, their belief in Jesus as savior, and their acceptance of the holy trinity. Luckily I can defer all judgement and critique of theology to God himself.


I don't care what faith you claim (or don't claim). Marley speaks some profound truths. "There aint no hiding place from the father of creation" ...........marinate on that............ I could not have said it any better. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death...." Hmmn, clearly Bob and the Bible express a need for something. A savior maybe? Well, lets look at the rest of verse 23".....but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord".


It's not rocket science. It's FAITH. And it's mine. Go find your own.

"I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me " Proverbs 8:17

Until then, I'll be "jammin in the name of the lord".

Don't be that guy (or girl)

Have you ever considered how you order your food? I have developed a pet peeve toward those who show their selfishness and entitlement mentality through ordering food. If you pull up to a drive thru and they say, "How can I help you?" please don't say, "I WANT a coke and fries". It would be better to say, "Could I get a coke and fries" or "May I please have a coke and fries". It may not seem like a big deal but those phrases have very different contentations. "I WANT" is a phrase for spoiled kids and clueless adults. "Could I" or "May I" is polite and respectful.

You may have never thought about it before, but pay attention to others and you will see it first hand. I'm sure some of you do it and don't even realize what you're saying. Give it a try and enjoy a more happy happy joy joy world.
(then go for a run because you just had a coke and fries)

It's all about the little things

I parked next to a very dirty car the other day. I noticed that someone took the liberty of writing a message on the hood with their finger. It proudly said, "I wish my girlfriend was this dirty". Awesome.......... Much better than "wash me".


In another matter of grave importance. I saw a bird attacking its reflection in a chrome car bumper today. Very nice.


Apparently the legendary Chupacabra has been found. Also very good news, maybe we can ask it where bigfoot and the easter bunny are.


Congratulations if you are still reading this.
