Great Moving Weather
The last several times I’ve subjected myself, my family, and my friends to a household move, (’99, ’01, ’08) it was in July or August each time. After a string of these sweat-fests, I decided about six months ago to give everyone a break and move in February instead. After all, the average high in […]
Somehow The Viewing Public Survives Mrs. Tebow's Terrifying Superbowl Ad
Not since George W. Bush last got to nominate a Supreme Court Justice have feminist and liberal panties bunched so collectively and so tightly. The trigger for this epidemic of the vapors? The announcement that Focus on the Family had purchased 30 seconds of Super Bowl spot time. A group called The Women’s Media Center, […]

Soon to be a Sooner?
Mrs. Blather and I headed up to Oklahoma City for the weekend with Female Offspring Unit #2. Our purpose: to visit the campus of the University of Oklahoma with a view toward FOU #2 going to school there in the fall.

The Destructive Absurdity of Liberal Values
There are two great posts up over at The Corner which highlight the insanity and damage to which liberalism and political correctness invariably lead.

You’ve probably heard or read about the late-night scheduling trainwreck in progress over at NBC . It’s hard not to indulge in schadenfreude over any pain being felt by the parent company of MSNBC, however, I found the recent news release sent out by Conan O’Brien about the debacle a refreshing gust of good humor, […]
Breaking News . . .
God has blessed me with a new book deal. Details forthcoming when I’m at liberty to share.
Aaaaand, I'm Back
As prophesied in the post below, I loaded up the Expedition with some gear, firewood and food early Wednesday morning and pointed it south. My destination was a cabin in the Texas Hill Country about an hour west of San Antonio. Right about here: View Larger Map This was my second annual beginning-of-the-year-wilderness-retreat-and-media-fast. The media […]
An Implausibly Long New Year's Eve Post to Make Up for Christmas Blog Neglect-age
Yes, I’ve been neglecting the old blather blog here through the holidays. My excuse? Well, it’s certainly not because I’ve been covered up with work. On the contrary, it’s been decades since I’ve had less going on. Things work wise are s – l – o – w. I mean slower than Joe Biden on […]
