Can Kicking Consequences

The politicians in Washington have kicked the can down the road too long.  The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a long period of extreme consequences.

History

I met a guy once who wrote about history and he got it exactly right every time.  He owned a time machine.

God's Opinion And Mine Too

Carl Sandburg said, "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."  I say, "If we continue killing babies before they are born, God will change His mind."

Show Me One

Parsimonious politicians are as plentiful as purple people eaters.

Pulpit Prophesy

The low and declining state of morality and virtue among us is too obvious not to be seen, and of too threatening an aspect not to be lamented by all lovers of God and country. Though our pursuit of happiness depends much on the conduct of our rulers, yet it is not in the power of even the best of elected officials to make an impious, profligate people happy. No matter how well our public affairs may be managed, we will surly undo ourselves by our vices. And it is from hence, I apprehend, that our greatest danger arises. That spirit of infidelity, selfishness, luxury, and dissipation, which so deeply marks our present manners, is more formidable than all the arms of our enemies.


Simeon Howard, A.M., of Boston: Mass. Election Sermon, 1780.

Frustration

Next time you get so frustrated you just can't even spit, go find a revolving door and slam it.

Smell The Roses

Ever wished for a simpler day?  Here's a few suggestions.  Try thinking without a computer.  Try listening without a cell phone.  Try seeing without a television.  Try walking without an iPod.  And every now and then, stop and smell the roses.  By the way, roses grown on golf courses smell the best.

Psychological Suicide

I guarantee you, any parent who tries using psychology on a four year old throwing a temper tantrum will end up contemplating suicide.

Going Nowhere

Knowing you are going nowhere is better than not knowing where you are going.
