What we are seeing in the middle east is the removal of a cancer. The fundamental Muslim movement that has been growing over the last few years is like a cancer. It has to be removed or in time it will take the whole body. In this case the region then the world.Smarter heads then mine have been saying this for not months but years. How can you negotiate with individuals who openly call for our

I'm not a lawyer. Thank you Lord for that blessing.But I do every once in a while give out advice. This advice is to the attorney who is representing Valerie Plame in her lawsuit against, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Scooter Libby,Get your money up front.

I spent many years as a News Director for several radio stations here in the American West.Then it was my job, what I was paid to do was report the news. Sounds simple doesn't it. As a news reporter, I was not paid to report just one side of the story, but both sides. Fair and Balanced to use the line that Fox News now uses in promoting what they are attempting to do.Listening to Tom Sullivan

Have you seen the release by Robert Novak.....Take a look to the Fox News StoryI guess the Dems will have to try again to bring down the Bush White house, with lies. I wonder also how long it will be before the charges against Mr. Libby will come down. There really isn't much there according to all accounts.The Dems love to build things on half truths.

I know it's hard to believe, but a Judge has got it right.It's my opinion that the decision by Chief District Judge Thomas F. Hogan has made the right move in the case involving Rep. William Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat, who has been under investigation since March 2005 for allegedly using his position to promote the sale of telecommunications equipment and services offered by IGate, a

Last week I posted a story about yours truly falling while trying to remove a ceiling fan. A change in one's routine never really hurts, although now that I think about what I'm writing, I did hurt a little. Maybe a lot for a few minutes.Another change in routine this Sunday too, making it two for two. I went to my Doctor's office and then can you believe ER.Follow me now through each event as it

Let's get right to the point.The FBI has just concluded an investigation that broke up a group who was set on blowing up the NY-NJ underground transit system. Clearly an act of terrorism.My questions.1. Who will be the first lib or Democrat that will question the investigation because it violated the terrorists' civil rights?2. When will it come?The American public should have been told about

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I spent it with my wife, and I really enjoy being with her. We decided to go to the movies. The movie started at 1:20 PM and we got there about 12:50 PM. Usually we are there with a little more time to spare. Should have done so yesterday too.Well as it turned out every handicapped spot was taken. Not one handicapped van, just sportscars, sedans and 4 wheel drive

A little over an hour ago, I decided that I was going to replace the ceiling fan in our bedroom. It's one of those fans, that no matter what you do to it, or who does it, it wobbles from the slowest to the highest speed. At it's highest speed, you almost feel like you are in a room full of Democrats as that fan is flipping and flopping so fast, it's unsafe for any one who loves life to be in

I guess that it's the time of year across our nation where new laws are going into effect. That's both a good thing and a BAD Thing.Our country, Our states have enough laws on the books already, why don't we just enforce them and stop making new ones that will most like not be enforced either.Ok, what about taking your Dog out on the town.Down in Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush has signed into law, just a

Up in Colorado they have enacted a law that bans smoking in public buildings. I believe several other states have or will be voting on such bans.The US Surgeon General announced last week that second hand smoking can be harmful.Ok, I can live with all of that. I have never smoked and doubt that I ever will.But here's my question. If smoking is such a bad thing, then why are cigarettes still on

I have been thinking for several months of changing banks. It's not that the bank that I have been using is that bad, but it's just one thing after another. Little things that just add up to a feeling that why do I have to put up with this.It was about 6 months ago I was invited along with a half a dozen other clients to spend a couple of hours answering questions as the bank was going to be

This is a story that I feel is as important as former Vice President Al Gore's movie, "The inconvenient Truth" and all the hype that went with it.Maybe it should be considered at the end of the year as "Story of the Year". But I'm just a small time hick way out in Arizona, so it might be a good idea to give that idea a little more thought.Sorry to say, not one network interrupted programming to

Here I am, back in sunny Scottsdale. And do I mean SUNNY! Went out awhile ago and it was 111. Just keep in mind on the way back from San Diego, passing through Yuma it was 115 yesterday. That's what you could and should call HOT. But it's a "dry" heat. Oh and that makes me feel better just saying it. Dry, Wet, it's hot when it gets above 75.On the radio today, heard a man try to say that it was

Yesterday I spent most of the day working. That's something I haven't done in a while. Well, let me set the record straight.I have been working with my video production business, but not going out to tape events or the like as I had up until last August when I had some surgery. I found that standing for long periods of time hurt. But I have now decided that I enjoy the taping of events and pain

You have to realize that where I live there is no security gate down the road or a guard there , it's just a front door and you either ring the bell (there's a little white button to the side of the door) or you knock.

What I am beginning to see, from a very few, is a HATE for anything and every thing that President George Bush does.Everything that happens bad in this country is his fault. He is the reason for every thing that goes wrong.The Democrats on the other hand, are innocent, and have never done an evil thing or had an evil thought.All news comes from a propaganda machine controlled by big business and

The day is almost over, and here I am just now getting started blogging. The blog system that I am a member of, has been down all day.Well by now you have heard that Zarqawi has been killed in Iraq. Two 500 lbs bombs dropped by US F-16s on the house he was in. That, at the end of a least a year of searching for him. Considering the way he would kill others including innocent civilians, he got off

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm maybe going to move in a different direction with the blog in the future. I can hear you already asking, "Which direction?"For you in New Jersey and Texas, rest assured it won't be to the left.To be truthful, I don't know.I do know back in Denver in the 60s, I loved reporting from the field and also enjoyed it when I reported traffic here in Phoenix on KOOL, and when

I started the day with a clear picture in mind of what I was going to write about. But as the day progressed, the less and less I liked my original idea. It ties in a little with what I wrote on Saturday about Senator Reid, then deleted. I even had gathered up some articles from online to write the post from. But the more and more I thought about it, the more and more I really didn't want to go

Last night, late, I wrote a post about Nevada Senator Harry Reid and his acceptance of Free Boxing tickets. He has come under a little fire, because of it, but not nearly as much had he been a republican. Anyway, that's not the point of this post. As you can see, I deleted the post on Reid.I got to thinking after I had written the piece, about what it was like back in Las Vegas when it was my job

It was eight years ago, on June 1st, that my trip with Karen started. She came to Scottsdale with her parents and it was then I popped the question.The picture on the left shows us together later that night, celebrating.I have to admit, it's has been the best decision I have ever made.

Ok, I decided since there was such an overwhelming response that I get a license to test websites, that I would do it.I called the state. No luck. I called the Feds. Not Available. I called the Republicans. The woman hung up. My call to the Democrats, was put on hold and no one ever came back.

Saturday I went out to our van and found that the driver's window was down part way. Put the key in, started the motor and tried to run up the window. No luck, didn't move an inch. Tried to put it down, same story. So I played with the switch until it went down. And there it stayed. I was also hearing grinding noise from inside the door.We had to meet someone, so there was no time to take it to

A morning check of my online banking has found that all the charges that were there Friday, gone yesterday, are here today. But the credit on Friday still has yet to be found.I wonder if they lost it? It wasn't reported. It never really happened it's just something out of my imagination. But what about the receipt?I guess I will just have to wait for the monthly printed statement.

Rather than have this buried in the comments, I think it should be in a post for all to see.Now I don't care about Environment. Where did I say that?I have cut back watering here at the house by more than 2/3 each month. The incandescent bulbs have been replaced by the Energy Saver models, cutting my use of electricity.

I have online Banking and usually check my account once a day, just to make sure that it's still there. I feel if the Bank goes, then Gore was right and Phoenix is ten feet under water and I have been dead but just didn't know it. So it's a good indicator of the world situation.Anyway, last week I made a deposit on Saturday. It didn't show up until Wednesday morning. Charges, however showed up

As I was thinking about answers to several comments, I began to realize, 'What's the point", those people don't want logic, don't want truth. Gore has only told part of the story and that's good enough for them. Gore is pushing Global Warming over the past few years, why let a little thing like the fact that the earth has been in a constant state of change since it's beginning get in the way. If

As with so many revelations from Democrats it's not the complete picture. Facts are left out. Not by mistake but with a great deal of planning. They don't think that we the public have the brains to see through their continual deception. But a lot of us do.Howard Dean, Senators Reid and Kerry and let's not forget Former Vice President Gore dump their garbage on us everyday. Look at "The

I will be brief.Former Vice President Al Gore has a new movie about the environment, An Inconvenient Truth. He says there's a Global Climate Change CRISIS.One thing comes to mind when I think of Mr. Gore. Him screaming at the top of his lungs, "He played on our fears."I guess if it worked for Bush, it might work for Gore. What ever happened to the truth?

With the elections fast approaching, the democrats are trying to paint the picture that they are the Lilly White party and above any form of corruption. Don't believe it for a minute.Take a look at Janet Napolitano, the Arizona Governor. A Democrat. Todd Lang, executive director of the Citizens Clean Elections Commission is calling for an investigation into whether the governor's campaign

He had not only some interesting things to say about the book and movie, but also art, Dan Brown, and the bible itself.I learned a lot. I walked away wanting more, Dr. Dallis will be back tonight at DVC at 5 PM, Karen and I will be there. But he said

Let me set the stage for you. On Thursday night I had a dream in which my Mother appeared. My Mother passed away in February of this year at the age of 92. This is not normal for me. Yes I have dreams, but people I know usually don't appear. My Father who died over 40 years ago and who I think of a great deal, has never been in a dream of mine. Why my Mother? She was there, in a Pink Robe

If you have looked at my posts in the past you will have come to the realization that I don't write every day. I have posted a few times a couple a day, then might go 3, 4 days without posting. That's a fun word. Post. Use it three times in a Sentence. Well, I just don't get the spark that says, I have got to put down these thoughts. It just doesn't come each time I sit before the computer.

Now it's history. Scottsdale voted 57 to 43 per cent to allow the City council to override the budget by $79 million. The voters at the same time voted to seat the conservative canidate on the council.As with the last election the turnout was around 15%. That's why are city leaders have such elections at this time of year, because they know the turnout will be small. But that is coming to an

This year, my Mother is not here, she passed away in February.In Church this morning, I watched the Mother's Day video of the kids of the church, I produced last week, listen as our new pastor Mark Einersen Deciphered the Da Vinci Code, and found myself drifting off and thinking about her.

I just got off the phone with my friend Jack. He just returned from Malawi in Africa where he was helping those who themselves were helping others, namely AIDS orphans.The first thing out of his tired mouth, (jet lag, still) was "I was in Heaven. I loved the country and the people. It was the best trip like this, I have been on".Jack gives of himself all the time, and I am sure that the Lord

This week. What can I say about it. Really, not much. I have not felt well this week at all. Since August, I find that I am not able to do a lot of walking and such. Find that carrying a tripod and camera even for an hour or so, takes my body several days to recover from. Both were sold several months ago, so they aren't the problem. Sunday, I did stand behind a camera for not more than 30

Although I have control over who is allowed to comment, so far I have not said no to anyone who has left a comment.

As we have done each day since April 28th, I have started my post by asking for your prayers for my Friend Jack. Jack is on a mission for his church, in Mesa Arizona, over in Malawi Africa. There he is helping by counseling with those who are helping AIDS orphans. He truly is a blessing and I am sure is bringing peace to the hearts of those people, who themselves are sharing.

My friend Jack remains in Africa helping those who are helping AIDS orphans. Again, please say a prayer for him, and for what he is doing.I am 62 years old. Several times a week I read or hear a report about the "latest Poll". Mostly political polls as to how let's say President Bush is doing. His Approval rating.

My friend Jack left Phoenix on April 28th and will return on May 9th. He has gone to Malawi in Africa to help those who are helping AIDS orphans. As I have mentioned before, Jack is a caring wonderful person who's love for people shines through and is easy to see after being with him for just a few minutes.

Let's start out on a positive note. My friend Jack still is in Malawi in Africa, where he is providing respite, encouragement, and counsel for those helping AIDS orphans. Jack lives here in Scottsdale and paid for his own trip with the help of his friends. As long as I have known him, he is always willing to give of himself, and will start singing at the drop of a hat. (Make sure you hold your

Just a quick post today. Jack, my friend remains in Africa and I ask you once again to say a prayer for him. He is providing encouragement and counsel to those who are helping those with HIV/AIDS in Malawi. He will be there until the 9th.Many Thanks.

Since I got up this morning, I have been a little sad. Why, well when I attended grade school in Denver at Dora Moore elementary School on Downing Street, we were taught that this country is a melting pot, where all the races, and creeds came together to build a single strong nation where an individual could say, do, think, and go anywhere he/she wanted. Wonderful dream!Today, Hispanics again

Please don't forget to say a prayer for my friend Jack who continues his mission trip to Malawi in Africa. He will be there until May 9th.I am working on a schedule for blogging. Seems to me that I don't need to post everyday of the week. If I had that much to say, I would still be on the radio. I have been informed that Sunday is a low traffic day for bloggers. Maybe next Sunday I can post the

Scottsdale, you can at least say is interesting, It's the same city where it's Mayor, Mary Manross is upset because a man from Las Vegas wants to bring an up scale restaurant to the area around Fashion Square (Major Mall) at Scottsdale and Camelback Roads with the name, "Pink Taco." He's been using that name in the Nevada city for 6 years. Not one complaint.Don't know what circles you run in, but

Once again I am asking you to say a prayer for my friend Jack who is on a two week mission in Malawi, that's in Africa.I received a flyer yesterday from the post office about Flat Rate Boxes for shipping items. I have been selling things on Ebay and thought it would be worth trying. Think again.I went to the USPS website as suggested and filled in what seemed like 30 bits of information on me.

We have all made it through another week. I consider myself to be very blessed to be in this country. It's not perfect but I can't think of one that is. Guess I could tell you of all the things that are going wrong, but what for. Troubles are part of life.Please take a moment today, and stop and say a prayer for my friend Jack, who left early this morning to travel to Africa for his church. Jack

The line of the song continues….” And you can’t come in”. But that really wasn’t the issue; all I needed to do was open the door. There standing not six feet away, again in Arizona street garb, shorts and a T shirt, but holding a bright metal devise, what might be an invoice or even ticket holder was a tall man who started asking if I was Norm Seeley. Oh no, flashed in my head. I am being served.

Two days in a row we have had a knock at our door. Now that’s unusual for our neighborhood, and for our house. The neighborhood is very quiet, some might call it “Dead”, but to my wife and I…it’s quiet. The knock Monday was one of those knocks that you might expect from a friend. It was loud and said “It’s Me, I am back, Let me in.” Well it wasn’t a friend, but a young lady, and since it’s

Yesterday I admitted my part in the increase of gas prices here in the US.  Today, I wish to add a disclaimer.Yes it’s true that I wasted my votes on Presidents, members of the House and Senate, and here locally, But, I can’t be held fully responsible for their lack of action on the oil and gas situation for one, and second for their action on increasing gas taxes.  The blame should rest squarely

I have to confess, it's my fault. It is my fault that the price of a barrel of oil is at $75.00. It is my fault that the price of a gallon of gas increased by $.25 just last week. I am to blame.Since I started driving at 16, I am 62 now, you do the math, I have never been concerned with how much a gallon of gas costs. I drove to the gas station, filled up the tank, paid by gas credit card and

Once again Usama Bin Laden has released an audio tape through Arab Television in Cairo Egypt. In the tape he once again accuses the US and Europe of supporting a "Zionist" war on Islam. He goes on to say that citizens of Western countries were equally responsible with their governments for what he termed the "war on Islam". That's you and me. Has he forgotten that it was terrorists under his

Ok, here I go, I am going to become a blogger.I could type about the Gas Prices. Radio and Television are full of stories about the price of oil and the fact that gas prices have gone up to over $3.00 here in Arizona, higher in other parts of the US. Very little has been said about the fact that for every gallon of gas pumped, the feds and states are collecting taxes. Nothing! Maybe I could start

One item that brings to mind Broadcast Professionalism is the image of a microphone made by RCA, from the late 30s until 1967. That microphone is the RCA Type 77.By naming my blog for this legendary instrument, I hope that I will be inspired to reach for the same accuracy in bloging that it achieved in sound reproduction.
