But, I Guess I'm Un-American

I guess I’m un-American. I disagree with many of Obama's policies and some of the plans he’s put forth. I don’t completely disagree with what he wants, but strongly disagree with how he wants to do them. Apparently, that makes me un-American.

Deus Ex Machina

At a most fundamental level, our computers are simple and not smart at all. They can only do one, solid thing; make a determination as to whether something is true or false. That's all a computer has ever been able to do.

Our, "Founding Fathers" are always mentioned by very thoughtful 'comment'[ators]; and rightfully so. For they were without equal, extraordinarily brilliant and wondrously wise planners of the Colonys.

Everything Orlando....Orlando's Biggest Thrift Paper

Once a week, in most every state in America, there is a free paper put out that is full of advertisements. You can usually find everything for sale in one, from the smallest ad consisting of one old sewing machine stand, ($10) all the way up to a Lincoln Navigator ($20,000).

The Sword of Logic

Two Atheists stumble from the woods and stopped at the edge of a clearing. The luscious green grass encircled a strange stone, which had apparently been eroded by the wind to form a cone. The cone, being made of dazzlingly smooth granite, was nothing short of 150 feet tall.
