Odds and ends (OPEN THREAD)

Hi all,

Sorry for the light blogging the last couple of days. I’ve had a couple of busy days at the 8-5, and not only that but I feel like I’m coming down with a cold. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, quite frankly. Behind on reading, behind on organizing, behind somewhat on housecleaning, behind on holiday prep, behind on life …

I am trying to arrange for a guest blogger to take over for a few days in the next couple of weeks so I can take a bit of a breather. I need to get my “sea legs” back, or however the saying goes.

As an update to prior posts, thanks to donations from several readers I’m going to be placing an order for a new site design sometime before December (once I get my ideas finalized – finally!), and hope to have it up before Obama’s inauguration. I’m still trying to raise enough to take care of monthly hosting fees through the next year, so if you haven’t donated yet but would like to, please click below:

If you’re one of those who makes over $120K, now might be a good time to donate, before Obama starts raising your taxes

Please bear with me through the next couple of days as I try to dig myself out of the avalanche of paperwork/manual labor I’m behind on. I’ll be around, but blogging may continue to be light until Friday. If I owe you an email, look for it by the end of the weekend. Major apologies on that front.

What’s on your mind tonight?

Wed Update – 8:24 AM: Hey ya’ll – I’ve got another busy morning ahead of me. Hope to be back to blogging this afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Dow dropped another 177 points again today. In the one week since Obama was elected, it has lost about 10% of it’s value.

Now who could have possibly predicted that handing power to a party pledged to raise taxes, spread socialism, increase regulation, and kowtow to unions would be BAD for business??

Anyone with a 401(k) who voted for Obama deserves to get handed one of Bill Engvall’s famous signs.

Out of the mouths of babes: Waking up to the fractured world we call politics…

My daughter has been a frequent co-contributer to this blog, mostly behind the scenes in the form of ideas, inspiration andÂ occasionally comments.Â But several times she has also appeared in the form of blogs I have reposted, with understandable fath…

Hey, I already have my sea legs. But I can’t help you with the site management, sadly. Guess I can hit the tip jar again, since as you point out, Obama’s going to be coming for a bugger chunk of mine.

And no, I’m not one of the top five percenters. I’m just not so naive as to believe a Dem when he says he’s cutting my taxes – none of them have done that since JFK.

So here goes another shot at the ST Tax Shelter – put it to good use!

Hope you get caught up on things and don’t get sick. Everyone in my family has been sick off and on for about six weeks straight now. It’s going around.

Liberal intimidation continues:

Coleman says he welcomes investigation into his finances

Just hours after a liberal-leaning Minnesota group called for an investigation into allegations that Sen. Norm Coleman accepted $75,000 worth of gifts, the incumbent Republican himself said he is eager for any probe to move forward “immediately.”

Ahhh…..fraudulent voter registration, Black Panther thugs at the polls, and now political intimidation. All this after Stuart Smiley’s party keeps coming up with “found” new ballots that have narrowed Coleman’s lead from over 700 to under 300.

Truly, sad times for America.
