I Think I May Resurrect This Thing

Thinking of turning back to this blog as an outlet for my writing. It won’t be purely political (thank God). I was thinking about a mix of whatever happens to be on my mind on a given day, and see how that works out. At any rate, more to come. Thanks again for your support.

Five Angels.

Watching this idiot parade around like 10 pounds of shit stuffed in a 5 pound bag has gotten me thinking about the absurdity of life. It didn’t always used to be this way. Hell, maybe it did. Maybe I was just too blind to see it. Maybe the apparatus of media spin was more efficient [...]

Blogging again soon.

It’s been too long, my friends. I’ll get back to doing this regularly again soon. Stay tuned…

My Disney Adventure

Ok….so when we began planning this thing in JULY, we weren’t exactly anticipating getting derailed by a Nor’easter that’s going to dump 2 feet of snow in our path. But we play the hands we’re dealt, and tomorrow, the little man, my wife and I embark on a car trip to Disney World. My parents [...]

Forever Young

I like sometimes to sit and type (is it writing?) and listen to old songs on iTunes. Tonight it’s FOREVER YOUNG by Alphaville. Now, I was never an Alphaville fan. In fact, I don’t think if you asked me in 1985 or whenever that song came out what Alphaville was I’d have had an answer [...]

I Hate When My Baby Is Sick.

He’s going to be 3 in a few weeks and he’s a big kid, but still. To me, he’s that same little guy staring out at me from behind the plastic of that tub they wheeled him out in. I’ll always remember that first time I saw him….after they cleaned him up and I caught [...]

Baby

My son’s got a temperature tonight and hasn’t been able to stay asleep longer than an hour or so at a time. I was home with him today and my wife was with him yesterday. I feel so badly for him. His forehead is so hot and I can see him shiver like I remember [...]

Today.

So I’m having sort of an author tryout over at Wizbang today. They’re letting a bunch of us post over there for a week and the winner will get a full time gig. If you don’t already frequent Wizbang, I recommend that you do. Especially today since I’ll be posting over there…:) And who knows, [...]

Mongo only pawn . . . in game of life.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to approve $250 payments to more than 50 million seniors to make up for no increase in Social Security next year. The White House put the cost at $13 billion. The Social Security Administration is scheduled to announce Thursday that there will be no cost [...]

Obama, Jack and Squat.

In the world of SNL, life often imitates art.  NBC’s darling President Obama was not spared this weekend, and this opening sketch sums things up somewhat nicely.  I say somewhat because despite the mocking of what little our President has not done, the unbelievable spending, lack of promised transparency, and general dividing of our nation [...]

I would like to issue an apology..

To those male students at Hofstra University – you know who you are and I don’t even know you. I didn’t say it publicly, but I had a thing or two to say about how you should be treated in prison for what you all “did” to that girl. It wasn’t pretty. But I take [...]

Obama’s Little Comment

I just heard an excerpt this morning on the Glen Beck Show (yeah, I listen to that) of the President’s interview with George Stepenopolus (I really do not care how you spell it – you know who I’m talking about) where George asks the President about ACORN and the President pretty much blows him off [...]

Are you a RACIST?

It is no secret to readers of this blog that Jonah Goldberg kicks some serious ass, and this article does not disappoint.  Apparently anyone who opposes the President is a racist.  It does not matter if the reason you oppose him has nothing to do with his race; it is automatically assumed because our President and [...]

Inspiration?

I don’t know if this is true or not, but supposedly, the President is addressing all school children on Sept 8th (when most go back to school). This in itself does not annoy me. The President could (although I find it unnessessary) give a little pep talk to kids coming off a lazy summer to [...]

*sigh* healthcare

I’m just tired of it already. No matter what these clowns in Washington do or say, the system won’t be better. And it will never be better as long as the insurance companies have any say in it. The debate is frought (love that word)with double standards…why is it not ok to have a medical [...]

New look.

Hello, readers! I’ve decided to spruce up the joint in honor of the arrival of 2 new authors to True Sailing Is Dead. You can now see who’s writing what right at the top of each post. There are also 3 columns now instead of 2, which means you won’t have to scroll all the [...]

Grand old flag.

Further to my ‘Air Dancers’ post, can you imagine how the Left would have reacted if Bush had announced a plan for his constituents to rat out non-conforming leftists at an official White House complaint box? But Obama can do it without anyone batting an eye? Where’s the ACLU? Where’s the outrage? Looks like we [...]

We Have Two Weeks People.

So we just got back from San Francisco (where, by the way it was really, really cold!!) where we spent a few days for the NAPO convention. (NAPO stands for the National Association of Police Organizations). I was just tagging along with my husband, who is a police union leader and had to be at [...]

Hello There Readers!

Hi! I’m the newest addition to TrueSailingisDead and I still can’t believe I agreed to do this. I can’t write anywhere near as well as Al does and I tend to loose my point halfway through so although I’ve started a few draft posts, I’ve abandoned them because I completely lost track of where I [...]

Asterisk.

Best line: “There’s much more of a demand for health care than the government is willing to pay for” Brilliant line by Sally Pipes. Think about it. Doesn’t it remind you of the little asterisk you see attached to deals that are too good to be true? FREE* donuts! (*limit 1 per customer) Or the [...]

New contributor.

Hello, loyal readers— As you might have guessed by my recent sabbatical/hiatus, sometimes writing this blog requires just a little bit more energy than I’m able to give. That’s why I recently reached out to a friend of the blog (and to the Author!) to lend a hand and keep the place interesting in the [...]

Reagan on Socialized Medicine.

Pop some corn, close your eyes, and channel the Gipper for a few minutes as he clearly explains why socialized medicine is an awful and unAmerican idea. By the way, here’s the Norman Thomas quote: “The American people will never vote for socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ the American people will adopt every [...]

Hiatus

Boy, it’s been quite a month, huh? I know there are a few of you out there who actually follow what I’m doing here and to you I apologize for the lack of content here the past month. No excuses really (certainly not a lack of news!) other than the fact that I was tired [...]

Serious business.

The problem of Obama is not a small one. This isn’t a fight on the margins. There is no general consensus. When Rush says that he hopes he fails, no rational person can disagree. Obama is a radical. That’s plain now. Certain people saw it before, but enough race-drunk fools refused to. His vision is [...]

Does he stand a puncher’s chance?

Chris Brown up for Kids’ Choice Award? In 2007, Chris Brown released his second album, “Exclusive,” with two Top Ten singles, “Follow You” and “Kiss, Kiss” with T-Pain, which climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, made Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2007 and was voted #1 on MTV’s 27 Essential R&B Songs [...]
