Scott Adams Stole my Idea!

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

So Scott may have given it more thought than I did, and he might possibly be closer to the genius end of the intelligence scale than I am, and it might also be possible that he actually records and publishes his thoughts when I just skip that part, but this is my idea!  (government run by social networking tools)    Scott Adams Blog: Constitutional Convention 10/03/2011.

Taxes, the Wealthy and a Return to the Ocean

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

Here is a funny and informative article from my favorite writer that was recently published in the WSJ. I recommending reading it once for entertainment and then again for meaning.

Wisconsin Judge Rules No Right to Own a Cow or Drink Its Milk

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

WI Judge to Zinniker, FTCLDF: No “Fundamental Right to Own a Cow, or Consume Its Milk… Am I Making Myself Clear?”
~ David Gumpert

Wisconsin seems to be one of the favorite places to live for socialists in the USA. Common thought is that you have a ‘right’ to other peoples stuff, but don’t have a right to do as you please with your own property. (I guess the Declaration of Independence doesn’t mean much to them)  Anyway, news like this is still surprising.  I hope the citizens of Wisconsin fight this judge and come to the side of reason and freedom.  I can’t help but to think back to the commercial “California cows are happy cows” and think, yup, Wisconsin cows must hate living among all these liberal nutjobs!

Using the Soil Cube to Start Seeds

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

In an effort to get more vegetables planted this fall, I decided to start a few trays indoors using the soil cube I won earlier this year.  (not having much luck starting from seed directly out in the garden)  Pictures of the finished cubes are posted on the northtexasvegetablegardeners.com website.  I hope that keeping them in the garage until they are big will help out— easier to keep them moist and they stay protected from all the critters out in my garden.

For the family, here is a video of Bryson trying his hand at the soil cube tool:

It’s The Bankers Fault!

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

Anonymous released another creepy video.  They are telling us it is the bankers fault.  I don’t really disagree with this, but what I’m more interested in is where this is all going.  The protests on Wall Street don’t seem to involve a large quantity of people.  Lots of armchair quarterbacks are rooting them on, but I have questions like, “will this gain traction?”  Liberals seem to be most exciting about the ‘movement’, because of it’s anti-corporate theme.   (and I have to laugh at facts like this picture points out)  My wish is for what Dan Carlin asked for in his most recent show  — How about all the different groups like the Wall Street protesters and the Tea Partiers stop being pawns of the divisive political tricks and agree on ONE thing — that we demand a government that is beholden to and representative of us (we the people), not the big-money corporations, banks, interest groups, etc.”  Can we stop playing all the BS games and arguing about everything else to agree on this one thing?  (I don’t think so, but it is nice to think positive)

Touch a Truck Car Show

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

We went to a pretty neat car show this afternoon.  All the vehicles were open and let kids climb in (and honk the horns).  Bryson had lots of fun.  My favorite was playing in the big trucks with range-splitter manual transmissions.

The due-process-free assassination of U.S. citizens is now reality

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Brian Gallimore

The due-process-free assassination of U.S. citizens is now reality – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com.

  • After several unsuccessful efforts to assassinate its own citizen, the U.S. succeeded today
  • the U.S. Government has seized and exercised exactly the power the Fifth Amendment was designed to bar (“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law”)
  • From an authoritarian perspective, that’s the genius of America’s political culture.  It not only finds way to obliterate the most basic individual liberties designed to safeguard citizens from consummate abuses of power (such as extinguishing the lives of citizens without due process).  It actually gets its citizens to stand up and clap and even celebrate the destruction of those safeguards.
  • What amazes me most whenever I write about this topic is recalling how terribly upset so many Democrats pretended to be when Bush claimed the power merely to detain or even just eavesdrop on American citizens without due process.  Remember all that?  Yet now, here’s Obama claiming the power not to detain or eavesdrop on citizens without due process, but to kill them;
