Are you a Democrat, a Republican or a Southern Republican? With
elections coming up, we should all decide. Here is a little test that
may help you decide.

Question: How do you tell the difference between a Democrat, a
Republican and a Southern Republican?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the
knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert
shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

**Democrat's Answer:** Well, that's not enough information to answer the   
question! Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could   
we run away?

What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the   
gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does   
this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound   
me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while   
he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a   
happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a   
few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican’s Answer: BANG!

**Southern Republican's Answer:** BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!   
BANG! BANG! click.....(sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!   
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click. Daughter's voice, "Nice grouping,   
Daddy!"

In other parts of the world, and in Arkansas, I guess they start ’em really, really young!

Looks like the guy that has this site is making a movie called Brainwashing 101. Interesting write-up.

Watching the first NFL game, after class. What else to do? Whip out the laptop and computer life, wirelessly, of course. Anyway, in firing up the laptop (it’s pretty much rested all summer), I went to MozillaZine to see if anything was new from my favorite browser/e-mail client application writers.

Well, I found an excellent article they mentioned about Firefox extensions.

Article on Firefox Extensions

Okay, I am constantly looking for new forum, content management, and other web software to install and tinker with. Maybe this opens security holes, maybe it doesn’t. What it does do is allow me to learn and play. Most importantly, LEARN!

I’ve added the link to the forum in my links area to the right.

But here is the link:

This dude was shooting his 3 month old puppies. One got free and shot him!!!

Has Ken Jennings ended his ‘Jeopary’ run?

I wonder when we’ll find out for certain if this is real or not???

I think my Mama is going to look at my site today. I wanted her to see something nice when she came here.

Mama, this is for you:

NASA Space Probe Crashes in Utah Desert

Two helicopter stunt pilots from Hollywood were supposed to retrieve the capsule in midair. However, the parachute didn’t deploy, so they had to abort their mission.

So, we have our 3 rooms painted now. What a nice job this guy did. John Cosgrove (J & C Painting). He came well recommended. He took 4 days to do 3 rooms. I can’t say it was time or money wasted. I didn’t have to do this, and now it’s done. We even put up crown moulding in our master bedroom (thanks Dad Duck)! Looks awesome.

Now we’re on a mission to get these three rooms up and running in their new face. We bought ceiling fans for our bedroom and the office. I thought it’d be simple to install them yesterday, like everyone said, but it wasn’t. The ceilings don’t have the support braces needed for the fans. I’ll have to make it a bit longer of a project, but it’s good not to be hasty on things like this.

On Sunday, I went up North to ride 4 wheelers with my frat brother, Gerry Lee. He’s probably asked me about 5-7 times to go, and I’ve always been booked. I kept telling him that I needed a bit more than a 1 day lead on the timing. He told me about 2 weeks in advance so that I’d be free and clear to go. We went up near Mio, MI, and rode 60 miles. It was awesome! Like snowmobiling, but you didn’t get cold. You got dusty!!! REAL dusty!

<– click to get to the photo album.

I crashed Kelly’s 4 wheeler into a tree with the left front corner. The tire hit the tree as well, blowing out the control arm bushings. Scared the hell out of me, but everything was okay with me and the ATV. Heck, if I had a place up North, I’d highly consider a 4 wheeler over a snowmobile. Way more versatile! Thanks again, Gerry Lee!

Labor Day was spent resting. We enjoyed ourselves all day. We even did a 4 mile run up at Stony, but it wasn’t that enjoyable, as it was hot and muggy. Starting today, the weather is looking real nice.

I’m about 5 pounds heavier at the moment than I was at the same point in my training last year. I’m also running slower on my long runs. Maybe I’m not as into it as I was last year. They say you’re really into it on your 3rd race. I seemed to be more into it on my 2nd race (last summer). I was working out five days a week, cross training at the gym once a week, and really watching what I ate, including eating lots of extra protein. This year: Just running. Barely dieting. And not eating nearly enough protein. On top of all that, I have a left hip pain every day, as well as a left shin splint like I had the first year (two years ago). Not sure what to make of it. Really wears me out, physically and mentally. WHOA IS ME!

So, I’m in 5 Fantasty Football leagues. One of them is mine, which has no money involved, and the other 4 are money leagues. Least year, I did alright. I won 1 league, outright, and came in 2nd overall (and 1st in my HALF of the league) in the keeper league that I’m now into my 2nd year in. The other 3, I didn’t do so hot, but I got all my money back and then some.
