Obama Starts Spending, Largest in Nation’s History

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

I understand that Bush spent way more than he said he would. It’s one of the things I really didn’t like about him and his time in office. Our government seems to be past the point of no return, as it relates to spending our money in an efficient, reasonable manner.
So here comes Obama [...]

Ten Rules for Dating My Daughter

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Yeah, I know my daughter is only 3 months old but you can never start preparing too early for the complete losers who are bound to come hunting around our home in a few short years.
I say a couple mounted heads on the living room wall might be worth the decorating hit we’ll take [...]

Ice Storm Caught on Film, Er… Hard Drive

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

I bet you all were fearing for safety, right? Honestly, I know things are tough all over as they used to say in the 60’s. But I’d be remiss to not post some candid shots of Louisville’s recent ice storm. It’s a doozy! Turns out this is “…the worst ice storm in a long, long [...]

Pepsi Promoting Gay Lifestyle in New Ads
Too many great choices for beverages, Pepsi is now off my shopping list.

Interesting piece in BusinessWeek. The Dems have done far more with new tech than the Republicans, that’s for certain.

Most Comedians Are Scared

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Reading that headline, you might be scratching your head. I hear you thinking, “What the heck is he talking about?” or “Paladin is down to his last three marbles.”
Ok, here’s the gist.
Mrs. Paladin and I love watching stand-up comedians. Comedy Central plays 30 minute shows all the time and now that we have TiVo [...]

Rock Band Track on Real Kit

Here’s what the Rock Band key placement for Panic Attack by Dream Theater sounds like on a real kit. The dude is pretty solid.

Obama Removes Roadblock to Taxpayer Funded Abortion Overseas

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

This from the respected Susan B. Anthony List. It seems Obama has wasted no time to make the world a less safe place for unborn babies.

Paladin’s Imaginary Musical Career in Rock Band

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Can you just imagine what’s going on inside his head? He’s killing it!
As a father, it’s built-in that I want my kids to enjoy the things I enjoy and avoid the things I dislike. But there’s a catch. What if I do like something but am so horribly inept that it borders on freakshow status? [...]

Outrageous Taxes: Example 1,738

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I just recently returned from a wonderful ski trip with my two oldest boys. Other than suffering a near-crippling spinal injury it was sheer bliss.
What wasn’t so joyful was my rental car expense.
When I booked this trip, I also reserved a 4-wheel drive vehicle just in case weather turned saucy. The resort told me [...]

Galactrix Is My Lastest Obsession

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Galactrix is the puzzle game that has it all! My only gripe is the Blue and Purple are too close in shade. It’s so habit-forming I may even spring for the full version!
Update: Here’s my best so far. Beat that!

Update 2: I’m an addict, please pray for me.

Update 4: It won’t go away!!

Update 5: So [...]

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

My Mom told me about this man, Arthur Blessitt. Can you believe he’s carried a large, wooden cross more than 38,000 miles? Here’s more information from his site.

Arthur Blessitt: A world traveler, world record holder, and a follower of Jesus Christ has accomplished the following with the help of God and the love he has [...]

Copper Mountain Ski Trip Photos

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Here are some of our first ever ski trip. The boys and I had a great time in Copper Mountain with very little crowds, almost perfect weather and plenty of the white stuff. If only my back hadn’t gone out on me. Ahh… you can’t have everything. Cheers!
