I apologize for the light posting recently, Facebook and those infernal Facebook games have captured my attention recently. I'll try to get back to a regular posting schedule...later tonight.

The MSM
A newsroom comprised entirely of leftists/liberals is no more capable of ideological objectivity than an all-white newsroom would be of racial objectivity, or an all-male newsroom of gender objectivity.

The Drawn Cutlass Philosophy
Be as decent as you can. Don't believe without evidence. Treat things divine with marked respect, and don't have anything to do with them. Do not trust humanity without collateral security, it will play you some scurvy trick. Remember that it hurts no one to be treated as an enemy entitled to respect until he prove himself a friend worthy of affection. Cultivate a taste for distasteful truths. And, finally, most important of all, endeavor to see things as they are, not as they ought to be.

The Foe
When I am free to walk the streets of Mecca or Medina as the agnostic I am and receive nothing but curious glances, I will believe Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.

A Few Words From Some Founding Fathers

Jeff Cooper's Rules of Gun Safety
- All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
- Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges.
- Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.
Bob's Addendum To Cooper's Rules
A Gun is not a Toy. Don't Play With It.
Bob's Theory of Hush Puppies
Bob's Theory of Hush Puppies: The best hush puppies are oblong shaped, rather like dog turds. The worst ones are spherical, like balls. The spherical ones are usually made from the recipe on a pre-packaged box of hush puppy mix.
Restaurant Ratings
My restaurant ratings, mostly intended for BBQ restaurants, will be on a 1-5 scale, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Unlike most reviewers, I don't intend to play games with the rating scale by introducing fractions such as "2 and 1/2" or "4 and 3/4," I've always considered that stupid and a signal that the reviewer is trying to avoid making an honest 1-5 judgment.
Here is the breakdown of the ratings:
1 out of 5: waste of time, crap, unable to finish eating; apathy by staff/ownership
2 out of 5: edible, but no effort to impress; staff/management going through motions; desultory.
3 out of 5: average; reasonably good food, moderate effort by staff/management
4 out of 5: good; tasty, well-prepared food, staff alert, restaurant clean.
5 out of 5: great; excellent food, cooked fresh. Staff attentive and proactive, management responsive to complaints. Restaurant spotless.

On Self-Reliance
- "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

What games have you gotten hooked on?
That Superhero City and lately Bubble Spinner have me mainlining FB daily
@Bob S: Zoo World, Cafe World, YoVille, Treasure Madness, Jungle Extreme, Petville, Fishville, Jackpot Slot Machines, Gutterball Online, Blackjack Madness, Bejeweled.
Treasure Madness got old really quick for me.
I had to go cold turkey on Bejeweled to rid myself of the demon gems.
I still have the cravings, especially when I see glittery geometric shapes.
I feel your pain...want to start a 12 step program?
My sister tried to get me on "farmville" (she's an ADDICT!) but.. she's up till 2-3 in the AM lol then my buddies are hooked on Mafia wars... no thank you! Wow! out of the 12 she plays 7.. crazy stuff!! AND YOU BLOG!
...then again as my sis is always telling me... "shut up.. your retired!" "you DON'T NEED stress relief anymore!" lol
Take care!
Aion
Glad to see I'm not the only one that got addicted. It was Bricks Breaking and Farmville.
I finally had to give up Bricks Breaking, as my carpal tunnel was getting worse. Withdrawal was awful.
I'm retired too, but stress relief or not, it was fun.
