Right Wing Librarian

Fair and Balanced

If anyone claims that Fox News is not fair and balanced they are truly mistaken. I just watched Greta Van Sustern (a criminal lawyer, former CNN wonk and Scientologist – all perfectly fine but not my cup of tea) interview Jeanane Garafolo. I consider Ms. Garafolo the most annoying person on the face [...]

The French are praying for a Kerry presidency

The Christian Science Monitor reports that experts in Europe are saying that “The French are praying for a Kerry presidency.” I wonder if the liberals will be OK with that since it is the Christian Science Monitor.
I really don’t care who the French, or for matter any other country wants to win the election. [...]

Worst joke

I heard the worst joke I have heard in quite some time recently.
Q: Why is Bob Dole not on the Republican ticket?
A: Because he can’t maintain an election.

Inter alia

Strangest question ever asked of a librarian (as far as I know):
A woman wanted to know if she could get “prostrate” cancer if she had intercourse with a man with it. Just odd in so many ways.
My job stinks, I work in an olfactory.
If you wear an a monitor attached to your [...]

I have changed my opinion

I am quite skeptical when it comes to the claims made by supplement and ‘nutraceutical’ manufacturers. Sure we all need vitamins and minerals but I don’t think taking concentrated extract of some strange leaves will really improve our health. I find however that the vast majority, indeed almost all, ‘supplements’ are an effective method [...]

Birth control?

Is murdering your pregnant wife a new method of birth control?
It seems that the husband of Lori Hacking, the Utah woman missing for the past few days is about to be arrested for her murder. Now I don’t know anything else than the rest of us who watch the news, but it seems the [...]

Stick a fork in her she’s done

Even Californians are walking out on Linda Ronstadt. Now, I’m all for expressing one’s opinions and if Ms. Ronstadt wishes to share her political views that is just hunky-dory with me.
However I don’t want to hear my lawn man’s opinion or the pool boy’s opinion or the plumber’s opinion when I am paying [...]

The Queen eats no garlic

I was just watching Secrets of the Royal Kitchen where it was revealed that the Queen (of England) does not eat garlic, pasta or tomato (make certain to pronounce toh mah toe) sauce. Too bad for her.
This really is not about the Queen, but about the dearth of quality programming on television. [...]

Vive la France

Well, I don’t want to offend them.
I’m not going to France. I have been to France before, but I am not going again. I don’t want to offend them. The French are apparently very concerned that people are being rude to them. They have posted a sign at their Consulate in [...]

They made an old woman cry.

This weekend a group of people from my neighborhood – black and white and a few Mexicans too made an old woman cry. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sat in a chair on her front lawn and watched what these people did.
They didn’t leave one single part of her home untouched. [...]

Get some manners

Miss Manners’ take on blogs.
Interesting.
Did you know there is a difference between Miss, Ms. and Ms (the last without a period)? Well there is.
Off to church. Vaya con Dios amigos.
Oh, and I almost forgot, another librarian gives his take on how he feels the ALA=Democratic Party. I couldn’t have [...]

The Emperor’s new clothes

OK librarians, what do you wear to work? Recent discussions in another forum focused on what to wear to an interview, and we all figured a suit is appropriate no matter what position for which one is interviewing.
But what about day to day work apparel. Now I have plenty of suits and [...]

Don’t be a hater

So in the last few days I have been insulted because I am a Catholic, not poor, and a Republican.
I was also told not to be a hater.
I really don’t have any idea why these people seem to think I am some evil bastard. I guess if I were a poor, liberal, Green [...]

GM and NFP

Why are the people so opposed to GM (genetically modified) food, the people into “organic” food, the people into whole food not as vociferously behind natural family planning (NFP)?
Natural family planning is ‘organic’ in that it requires no chemicals nor artificial means to regulate the number of children one has. It is an approved [...]

The ALA is opposed to torture

The American Library Association passed a resolution at its annual meeting opposing torture. I wonder if they oppose cancer and beating children as well.

Who could possibly be in favor of torture (or cancer, or beating kids)? More importantly what the heck does it have to do with libraries? Are people being [...]

Saturday I said I’m sorry, Sunday came and trashed me out again

Random thoughts: (or as any competent Psychologist would call it, flight of ideas)
Saturday I went out with some friends from the hospital (no not the patients) to some place I had never been before. Some local pub with an underwhelming selection and dirty bogs. It was quite enjoyable. My friends think it is [...]

Attractive murdered people are more important

It must be true that attractive murdered people are more important than us everyday folks. I am so remarkably tired of hearing about Scott Peterson. Let the trial go on without out reporting every half hour. Please, California’s legal system is perverted enough as it is without having everyone in the courtroom [...]

2 unimportant announcements

1) I like Dick Riordan even if he is from California, but come on man use a little sense and stop calling six year olds “Stupid, dirty girl.” They may not care, but it upsets the parents. I know you were kidding but you must have a better vocabulary to use with small [...]

Moron ubiquity

Well several things come to mind today and all seem to validate my theory that 85% of the people you see on a daily basis are morons.
Blinding blue headlights on crappy cars. I know that some cars come with Xenon headlights, but 1999 Hondas are not among them. I know some of the finer [...]

The John and John show

John Kerry and John Edwards are in town tonight. Yipee.
Just what the country needs a latae sententiae excommunicated lawyer and another trial lawyer who built his practice on suing doctors for causing cerebral palsy. Those suits are of course complete nonsense as there is no peer reviewed study showing CP is iatrogenic. [...]

Life is good

So the hanging out in coffee shops (real coffee shops not some Starbucks clone) drinking café con leche in a guayabera is going swimmingly. I even had a hot pressed Cuban (which is not a businessman in Havana late for a meeting).
I love Cuban bread. There is a 24 hour bakery Maurico [...]

comfortable shirts

I’ve decided to wear guayaberas, smoke Cuban cigars (but not inhale- really just sit around with a burning Cuban cigar) and drink really strong tiny cups of coffee like those from Ideal Cafeteria

Freedom and Independence

Happy Independence Day

No long reflection today, just a thought about what makes this a great country. We use our God given talents to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Be it joining the Uniformed Services, working with Habitat for Humanity, feeding the hungry, volunteering with the Red Cross or some other invaluable work [...]

I think Kerry is more than one person

Kerry really can’t be one person and keep sending the mixed messages he sends.
Just this week I read that he wants to legalize immigrants in the US that he feels are “abandoned.”
Then later in the week Kerry decided he thought giving these same illegal immigrants drivers’ licenses was a bad idea.
Kerry wants to [...]

What is the election about?

OK, I’ve just had a big bowl of stew I made and I have a pot of Irish tea so hang on this will be a long one.
What are we concerned about in the next election? Is it the economy stupid, as James Carville surmised during the Clinton campaign. Is it the [...]

Democrats three times as likely to be criminals

According to a list issued by the state of Florida. Democrats appear on this list of Felons three times as often as Republicans. We can draw the conclusion that Democrats are three times as likely to commit a felony. According to the Tampa Tribune Friday edition.
This is the type of conclusion Michael Moore [...]

More software fun

Is this about Michael Moore?

This was in a speech the other day. The fella that said it did not say who it was about specifically. I know the speaker is not a Kerry supporter, but I am not clear who or even what group he means.
It could describe Moore and his bad movie(s), or it [...]
