We are on our way, finally. I’m posting this from the Airporter bus, lurching through traffic on 101. Nifty that Sonic.net provides free WiFi on the bus. We are exhausted and we’ve just started. We seriously underestimated the amount of time it would take to finish everything we had to do before leaving, which included not just packing, but also getting the house in shape for visitors. In my usual […]
Barack Obama has to respond to Hillary Clinton’s continued assertion that her “experience” makes her a more suitable candidate for President. One way to do this is to examine her prior experience with one of the most prominent issues in this campaign, which is health care reform. As I remember it, Big Bloated Bill — newly elected and having a supportive Democratic Congress to work with — appointed Hillary Clinton […]
That’s Hillary Clinton’s percentage in the new Rasmussen poll in New Hampshire. Her lead over Barack Obama is 10 percent and her lead over John Edwards is 19%. But what strikes me most about the poll is that thirty-four percent figure. If I were Ms. Clinton, I’d be worried about what happens when the number of Democratic contenders is reduced to, say, two. In that scenario, how likely is it […]
We went to Tahoe for 5 days over Spring Break, and spent two of them hunkered down in our cabin waiting out an incredible late winter storm. It dropped 25 inches of snow between Saturday and Sunday, with horrendous winds (60 mph on Saturday at the top of Alpine Meadows, which convinced us not to ski that day). It was fun in a way to be forced to stay in […]
There weren’t many readers before, I suspect, and not posting for three weeks won’t increase their numbers. But boy do I have excuses … the kids, their homework, my work, French classes, bills, chores, etc. So, some updates: Regarding this post, sure enough, there has been a ton of heartbreak among Hawkeye fans. A painful 23-3 loss to in-state rival Iowa State (aka Moo U), followed by a crushing 31-6 […]
For those of you who enjoyed this post, you may also enjoy this proof of God’s existence, sent in response to the post via e-mail from my mother: “Your Mother believes in God, therefore He exists.” Hey, those Presbyterians have some fight in them! I will note, though, that I suspect that for a lot of people, this probably is an accurate proof. Thanks, Mom.
The SSSBlog apologizes for the lack of recent posts. The adjustment to the first week of school got in the way. But, coming soon are two posts, one about baseball, the other about science. The Grump also has a brief post.
I feel like I’m cheating when write a blog post about somebody else’s page, but this one is too funny to pass on. Check out the web page “Over Three Hundred Proofs of God’s Existence” for some clever, funny, and even thought-provoking (in a very negative sort of way) “proofs” of the existence of God. So, with apologies to my mother…. here are some of them. They range from the […]
