It Is Hard For Me To Say But There Are Some Damn Good Points Here

Brilliant at Breakfast: Where no one cashes in on unpaid writers

I have had some disagreements in the past with this guy. To say the least. He has hit the nail on the head here though about the current state of our country. I don't agree with all of this, but certainly concede he has made some excellent points here.

Not sure I can forgive Jurassicpork for blocking me at the tweeting spot. I lambasted him for it though and feel better.

Wasting Time In America

The other day, on a whim, I signed up for this Twitter thing. I don't know why. My friend is a social media guy and said I should. Well it is about as ridiculous as some of the other time wasting media fads probably but it does seem rather interesting. I hardly have time for this blogging thing (which I enjoy), so I really don't think I will have much time for tweeting (or whatever). I did follow some folk though. It will be interesting to see just what Sasquatch (R. Barr) has to say on any given subject and I might just follow another female of the species (O'Donnell) also. She says goofy things quite often also. It could be fun.

I was also "blocked" by one Robert Crawford of the Massachussetts People's Republic. Don't know who he is? Not to worry. Few do (and that little fact gets under his skin. Some folk just need their fifteen minutes it seems). It is interesting that Crawford would be one of the first to whine about being "blocked" by someone I'm sure. Of course he whines quite a bit. If interested check out Crawford at welcomebacktopottersville.blogspot.com. Or not. On a side note I did follow a fellow that goes by the moniker of D R I F T G L A S S. driftglass.blogspot.com This dude is a Midwestern ultra leftist who seems to have a very skewed view of us Southrons. One of my regular readers called me out for commenting on Driftglass' place in the sun once. If I recall he called him the "prince of buffoonery." Apt description. I can't help but wonder how Crawford's and Driftglass' real job search is going. No, not blogging and tweeting or, in the case of Driftglass, "pod casting." That doesn't count boys. I do understand fully that chronic able bodied unemployment is a badge of honor among some on the far left though. It proves some sort of point I suppose?

Oh have I gone to far? Sorry. Feeling quite bastardly this morning. It happens. I probably shouldn't be blogging. Things could get nasty. Oh well let me stop here and make it up to you with some rule 5. One of the Sasquatch twins perhaps?

Fousesquawk and Welcome Back to Pottersville: Good Blogs

I have been reading an excellent blog recently by a man named Gary Fouse. He is a published author, college professor, and a man who had an impressive career in public service. His writings are forthright, cutting and right on target. He has obviously been around the block enough to understand how the world works and is not afraid to call a fool a fool. Check him out at garyfouse.blogspot.com.

Another good blog (I hate to admit it)is Welcome Back to Pottersville. The author, who calls himself Jurassicpork, is so out to lunch that it is almost unbelievable. I would have to classify him as a twit and have done so in earlier editorials on this oft read (lol) blog. He is also a contributor on the maddenly progressive (what is that?) blog known as Brilliant at Breakfast. Now Mr. Pork is obviously intelligent, and is a very good writer, but his writings are so ridiculously left wing that I would venture to say that he has no understanding of the realities of the world. He apparently is trying to get a novel published, and I certainly have to give him credit for that. Hell, I would even buy it if it comes to fruition and I sincerely wish him luck in that endeavor. I would love to be a good enough writer to create, much less publish a novel. Check him out at welcomebacktopottersville.blogspot.com.

These two blogs are both very interesting and well worth the read.
