garage sailing

One valid criticism I have had of the Democrats for the past six years is how they have appeared weak compared to the Republicans. That seems to have changed and I am pleased. I have long stated that the craziest radical in Congress is Minnesota's Michelle Bachman. I have devoted much time on this blog on her rantings so I won't go into that again. Yesterday, the Democrats started a new website Bachmanwatch.com. There is no doubt that she is enemy number one on their list in 2010. Unfortunately because she is such a wacko, she has attracted a lot of attention and therefore a lot of money. She will be a formidable challenge.


1. A couple of months ago when I was in Ames, I was introduced to this show called Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel. On the show, Bear Grylls, a former British military officer Navy SEAL equivalent, is thrown from a helicopter into the middle of nowhere and has to survive difficult situations. I just read online that Will Ferrel, no doubt to promote his upcoming movie Land of the Lost, will star in an episode of Man vs. Wild with Bear. I'm pumped.

2. I am having this debate with a friend of mine. What is the best non-sport, sporting event? NBA Draft? NFL Draft? Olympic Opening Ceremonies? March Madness selection? Others?

3. Last weekend I went to a couple of garage sales. Every one had a common theme. White trash clothes, overused children toys, and crappy romance novels.

4. Currently listening to "Falling in love at a coffee shop" by Landon Pigg.
