I think there are some great points, but I also think some are jumping to conclusions from my original question. I am not talking about hard-core binge drinking. If I might want to buy a six pack to watch the game or my wife wants a glass of wine with dinner, I don't want to have to keep...
Some entertaining quotes that I found.....
In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.- John Adams

What exactly does a trillion dollars look like ?
We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation.
Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
One hundred $100 bills is...
I have lived in Indiana long enough that I am accustomed to the law that sales of alcohol are banned outside of restaurants/bars on Sundays and certain holidays. However, sometimes it becomes a big inconvenience and I have to wonder why this hasn't been repealed/amended. Can someone enlighten...
I'm not going to argue who will win, the Irish's new spread offense will shred Purdue and Manti Te'o will be standing on Marve's head the whole game. My prediction, ND by 17 - and I will be there to witness it in person.

Bourbon Trail
Some buddy's of mine are talking about planning a trip around the Bourbon Trail. I am not very familiar with the route/experience, but heard it's a great opportunity to visit several of Kentucky's distilleries. Anyone done this?
Read the news story linked to the video. It clearly says that she repeatedly failed to comply with the officer's request to back up. If this were a man disobeying the officer, would you feel differently regarding the result? What about if it were a female officer? I am not suggesting that...
My wife knows that if some story like this comes on the television and I am in the room to turn the channel. Nothing gets me more upset. If someone gets to the point where they feel like hurting their child, they should just turn themselves in or give the child to protective services. That...
I have a buddy that is finishing up Phase 2 of SEAL training out at Corona. I just went to visit him prior to the start of the phase and we talked about it a little. I didn't want to ask him specifics (mainly because I didn't think he could tell me), but he shared a lot of the physical and...
I was over in Instanbul, Turkey a year or so ago and used Skype phone service to keep in touch with my family. It worked great, especially for only a couple of cents per minute.
I believe property taxes are unconstitutional - technically we all just rent our land from the government. If we don't pay, our property is sold by the government. Sales tax is okay, but there are some trade-offs (loopholes in which they can be avoided). The way to go is a flat tax that...
My 2 Cents
I don't even like to classify myself as a republican anymore. Career politicians, especially those in the dreaded Democrap party, are only out for themselves. There should be term limits and all "parties" should be thrown aside. It's too bad that many decent people that would like...
