Thoughts? Well, we will still be counting ballots until 4/12 or so due to our ridiculous primary and general election rules that allow mail in ballots to be accepted and counted up to a week after election day! However, most races have been essentially “called” and I want to provide some commentary on the results…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

My first hotel experience in Lapu Lapu City was the Crown Regency Hotel. I will be comparing it, in part, with my visit last year. The Crown Regency is an older hotel along a main road in Lapu Lapu City. Per the elevator buttons, it has ten floors. It has a small swimming pool and…

Duck Dynasty star, a vagina is more desirable than a man’s anus “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they…

Hope everyone has a good holiday. Here is a quick item to put a smile on your face. A few days ago, I asked my son if he knew what “Black Friday” was? He answered, “Isn’t that the day Jesus died?” You can’t really say he is wrong. I think it puts the Christmas season…

This just in from the National Republican Senatorial Committee Does this sound sincere when Senate Republicans make claims like these? “President Obama and Senate Democrats lied to the American people to force ObamaCare into law.” “We won’t fooled by the Democrats’ political ploy.” Wow, I thought maybe Lindsey Graham and John McCain resigned. After three…

Was there any doubt the Republicans would unilaterally cave on the debt and budget? Then Speaker Boehner gets a standing ovation from his caucus??? The Speaker declares victory and everyone goes home!!!! WTF? No wonder the Democrats bumped-off my squishy Republican Congressman last election. Victory gets turned into defeat again. Some Republicans then ran to…
