Please excuse Dawn from class today...


The weekend started out just right: a trip to Floyd Knobs (yes, that's really the name of a city in Indiana) to hear my new favorite band "The Funk Junkies." Then, a reprise of the same on Saturday night. And then, WHAM! as if to remind me that I cannot have that much fun without paying the piper, I was down for the count all day Sunday and today with a fever of 102 and a sore throat. My Mom, being the good Mom that she is, has insisted that I pay a visit to the doc tomorrow to have it checked out. We're thinking strep-throat. Bleck!

I hate to let so many days pass by without a post to my favorite form of therapy but yours truly will be posting again as soon as the fog lifts. In the meantime, I'd sure appreciate it if someone would bring my homework by after school...

UPDATE: It's official. The doc confirms that I've got strep throat. So, if you happened to drink out of that cup I leave near my bathroom sink or if you've been reading posts that I've typed, you may want to watch for symptoms.

well howdy. K that aussie blog you linked to was hilarious. And I agreed with everything he said ( I think. I'll have to re-read it when the caffiene fades away). And I'm not even an American.

I read that post of yours about what the rest of the world thinks of America. And well yep I'm Canadian and the little secret up here is that we really like yah'll (we just can't stand losing to you in hockey). Its the liberal media up here that doesn't like america and doesn't want you to know that the everyday Canadians do.

Yah the media's pretty liberal up here. Go fig...

Anyhoo great blog...eh

Cheers

Okay, um... Thought & Humor, I'm not sure what that was all about but thanks! Thanks for the well-wishes, Stacy. I need them! And I'm ever grateful for the words of our new Anonymous Canadian friend. I'm very happy to know that our cousins up north still like us no matter what the media says! ;)

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...
