Hollering 'Bout Black Conservatives - Kevin Jackson
Kevin Jackson is a Tea Party activist ... and, yes, he's black, too!
Saw him on Bill O'Reilley tonight, and was impressed. Went to his website, www.theblacksphere.net, and was even more impressed. Check it out!

The Federal Takeover Of Student Loans
Has anyone else noticed that this is a de facto takeover of public and private colleges?
Colleges nowadays can't get by if their students don't get student loans. Now that the Federal Government is the only source for said loans, what happens if the administrators of the program choose not to make loans available for students to attend schools the administrators don't like? Schools like, say, Hillsdale College? Oral Roberts University? Liberty University? Bob Jones University? Any Christian seminary? Yeshiva College?
The current Administration now has higher education by the balls, no?

So Tony Bouie's Opposition Found My Post ...
My obscure little blog, which hasn't been updated in over a year, got a response to the Tony Bouie post within three hours. The response is from his opposition.
Ooooo ... I feel so used! <laughing>
Anyway, I still may have to send him a few dollars ...!

Wow ... Been Over A Year Since My Last Post!
And lots of things have happened!
We got the house. It's still a mess.
I got my thyroid removed. Turned out there was some cancer in it.
Had the treatment, and we think everything's all right, but there's no telling what will happen next.
Got a dog, and she's the light of our lives.
More later!

Hollering 'Bout Black Conservatives - Tony Bouie
So, I was checking out Dr. Benishek's Facebook page after a few days' absence, and I find it's become a gathering place for true Constitutional conservative candidates from all over the country. (For those of you who don't know, Dr. Dan Benishek, from Iron River, MI, is running against Bart Stupak, the most recent sunshine patriot in the war against abortion.)
Very cool, Dr. Benishek!
Anyway, I ran into this black guy, Tony Bouie (BOO-ee) from Arizona on Dr. Benishek's FB fan page.
Tony is running for the Arizona State Senate Legislative District 4, and has some very nice videos on YouTube.
Tony is a former member of the NFL, a safety for Tampa Bay. He's also an entrepreneur and small businessman, a cancer survivor (Stage 4 Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma), and a husband and father. (For the racially conscious and sensitive amongst you, his wife looks to be white. According to his website, she is pregnant with their third child.)
He's into promoting and protecting small business, First and Second Amendment rights, small government and small government spending, cutting taxing, promoting America by protecting our borders, and protection of the unborn and the American dream.
I may have to send him a few dollars!

Where do we find such men?

Why Do I Do This?
So I never went to bed Sunday night.
DaBear was sick, and slept most of Sunday away. I got up Sunday with my own health issues ... I had a sore throat and stiff neck, both of the right side. The sore throat expressed itself especially when I coughed. Sunday afternoon I developed throbbing pains on the left side of my face, in the teeth and the cheek. The pains lasted two hours or so, and only then did that side get stopped up a little; once I was able to sniffle, the pains ceased.
I just never went to bed. DaBear felt ill Sunday night, and even he was up till almost 2 (reading Dresden books). I just stayed up, for no good reason --- I wasn't getting anything done in particular, other than the wash.
DaBear got up at 7:30 or so and emailed his boss that he wouldn't be in, then went back to bed. And still I stayed up. I was making phone calls, but still ----!
I showered, but instead of going to bed I started fiddling with the computer.
He got back up around 11 and made himself something to eat. Then I made myself something to eat.
Sometime just before 2pm, I was sleeping in my chair, leaning over in the most awkward positions, and DaBear persuaded me to go lay down. He woke me up around 6:40pm to eat.
Now it'a almost 2am. I finished the wash, filled the dishwasher, made a sh!tload of blog entries, and had a snack ... all since he went to bed at midnight.
I'm taking the car tomorrow, and I have a raft of errands to run. And, yet, I may not get into bed before 3 --- I have to shower, I think.
<sigh>
This has to change.

I Can Relate!
When I was a little kid, I would have thoughts like this ...
and I would think this way when I wasn't such a little kid, too ...

Vacation, Part 2
Made the hotel reservations. We'll be in Iron River on the 3rd of July, and leave on the 10th.
I've been in Iron River for Veteran's Day, and for Memorial Day ... the Fourth of July should be very nice, except for the fact that they don't do fireworks!
Silly Yankees!
