I have been mucking about with my template, title, etc. It is the New Year after all and I wanted to make some changes. I have wasted a lot of time so if I don’t get back to posting before then Happy New Year!!!

Irritating article in today’s Akron Beacon Journal: `Free air’ measure approved in Falls. It seems the city council in Cuyahoga Falls feels that it is an unfair burden on motorists to have to pay to pump air in their tires: After much discussion and a split vote, the City Council narrowly approved an ordinance Monday [...]

On the use and abuse of history check out this post: The Democrats supported racism and segregation for decades before LBJ’s morality, skill and courage ended legal segregation in the South.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I am enjoying just relaxing and not thinking or worrying about what to do next. I am a bit out numbered as I am surrounded by women: my wife, my mom, my aunts, my grandma, my cousins, even the dogs are female! As a result I spent yesterday [...]
