From Louisville with Love

For those of you who are local to the ville, don't miss the "From Louisville With Love" fundraiser this Sunday (9/18/05) from noon to midnight at Club Oasis (1506 Lakeshore Ct.).

All proceeds from this event benefit human AND animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. Artists and vendors are donating their time/money so that the $10 entrance donation goes directly to the American Red Cross's Hurricane Katrina relief effort. We are also asking folks to bring items to donate to the Wayside Christian Mission, and the ASPCA hurricane animal rescue effort. There is a wish list for these organizations on the website.

Date: Sunday, September 18
Time: Noon to Midnight
Place: Club Oasis - 1506 Lakeshore Ct - Louisville

The entertainment line-up reads like a Who's Who in Louisville music, and includes: * The Big Rock Show* The Boogie Men* Jimmy Chambers* The Chillbillys* Cup O' Joe* Chase Dabney* Dead City Rejects* Echos Aim* Enthral* The Funk Junkies* Gypsies of the Nile* Hank Sinatra* Hard Reign* Headcase* Lunatics* Most Wanted* Pawnshop Guitar* Redline* Speed of Sound* The Vinyl Kings

This promises to be the biggest fundraiser for the Red Cross's Hurricane Katrina relief effort in Louisville, with attendance of 1500 already expected. It is a 21+ event as alcohol will be served onsite.

Mark this one on your calendar. Come on out to do something for these folks, many of whom have lost everything they own. Get more details at the Official website or at the Louisville Mojo Live group.

See you there!

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
