So, today I was asked if it was fear of reprisal that had stopped me from blogging as of late So, today I was asked if it was fear of reprisal that had stopped me from blogging as of late. The answer to that is an unequivocal no. The main reason I have been gone was a lack of motivation followed closely by a lack of time.

I just spent the last hour catching up on all the blogs I have not read in about 3 weeks. Took me just over an hour to click through them all but I am current again. My point? Well mainly that I want to thank my Mom for teaching me to read very quickly. I clock at around 2000WPM most days (depending on content) and it helps to have nearly a perfect memory for printed material. This gift has made my life both tremendously easier and more enjoyable. Thanks

My last few articles have been done in 14pt New Time Roman with double line spacing My last few articles have been done in 14pt New Time Roman with double line spacing. 90% percent of the time they look fine on my computer but every once in a while I see them with the lines all bunched up. Do they look right to those of you out there who read them? I am still trying to nail down what format JU l...

Over at Wizbang.com they are holding a vote for the best Blogs of 2004 . There tons of different categories based on everything from content to traffic rank and yet from my look through the lists there is not a single JU blog present! Get over there and email the webmaster so we won't be "disenfranchised" like this next year! Maybe we should call the ACLU? Update : Apparently The Daily Kos is up to it's hips ...
Those of you who have read all 160+ of my blogs know that i am a "jingoistic" "traditionalist" and some of my less frequent readers may also think i am a fundamentalist Christian. Whatever . I wrote an earlier blog about the songs that make me cry and in it was Toby Kieth's "American Soldier". I have finally figured out what really gets me about that tune... In the video for it the main character closely resembles Kemimas in both looks and demeanor...
