So much to say, so little time in a day!

Guilt. It's a powerful thing. I've not written in what seems like ages now and, even though I needed to be in bed an hour ago, I feel guilty that I haven't put some effort into my blog lately. So I felt compelled to let you all know that I'm still alive and dying to write something of more interest when I find the time! For now though, a peek at what's bubbling around in my brain...

Immigration: We have two Republican Senators here in Kentucky but only one of them votes as though he knows that his Republican constituents are paying attention. I'll be posting the report cards for these two Senators very soon... maybe you can spot the one who's voting my voice! Maybe we'll make it a challenge to see if you can spot the two Republican immigration report cards on out of three or four.

SOAP: Friday night is a big movie night... going to see "Snakes on a Plane" with a group of wacky friends. We're going to be decked out in rubber snakes for this; I'll be the one dressed as a flight attendant with snakes hanging out of my carry-on. If you're at Stonybrook Cinemas in Louisville Friday night, check out the barstools at Chatters for some fun. ConservaChick will be the one drinking rattlesnakes! ;o) This movie has taken a beating in cyberspace since its release but, honestly, I can't wait to see it! The simplicity of the title alone makes it worth the effort. Okay, that and the fact that it lends itself well to playing with rubber snakes at the bar. Movie review to follow over the weekend.

Religion: Going to church over the weekend with my mother, my aunt, and a family friend. This will be the first time in years that I've been to a church when there wasn't a wedding to attend. If lightning strikes the Northeast Christian Church in Louisville on Sunday morning, you'll know where to find me...

Of course, the war: This nation has better grow some brass balls and soon. I am constantly stunned that some Americans expect this war to end shortly and "on demand," no less. We had better remember our history and we'd better start growing a national spine despite the pacifists, otherwise we'll all be worried about which American church, temple, mall, or sporting event the local Islamo-fascist homicide bombers will hit next. This is not MTV; this is not a one-hour episode of "24," folks. Grrr.

Wow! Thanks for letting me get some of that off my chest in a short and mundane manner! Now, it's lights out for this ConservaChick. 'Night y'all!

don't worry about it, everybody's on vacation - more or less. i think we'll all step it up here pretty soon.

Thanks, Jeff. I guess it's that time of the year anyway, huh? With the elections ramping up though, I'm sure we'll all be back at it in a flurry of activity soon!

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...

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...

Three Things No One Else Is Telling You

From: Downsizer Dispatch < downsizer-dispatch@downsizedc.org > Date: Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 12:38 PM Subject: Three Things No One Else Is Telling You To: conservachick@gmail.com Quote of the Day: "Things in our country run in spite of the government, not by the aid of it." -- Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist Unelected federal bureaucrats are forcing New York City to spend $27 million to replace their street signs. Our bureaucratic overlords maintain that streets signs must contain both upper and lower case letters, instead of just capital letters! Do you feel grateful that you're being protected from upper case streets signs? This dictatorial mandate comes from the Federal Highway Administration, and applies to every community in America, not just New York City. But don't blame this outrage on the busy-body Democrats. This isn't an Obama directive. The rule was actually promulgated back in 2003 -- during the Bush Administrat...
