I Really Want to Learn How to Write… Good… uh, Well…

A Writing Kind of Day

I was waiting for a haircut yesterday at SportClips in Eagle. I read through all the latest Facebook posts available  on my phone, then I changed the setting to show “a week” in stead of 3 days, and read through all the rest of them. Still bored. So, I picked up an issue of Eagle magazine and started flipping through the pages.

The thought, “Why can’t I write like that?” popped into my mind. The words and phrases just seemed to flow together, and in some cases, jumped off the page. The contributors to the magazine were far more adept at slinging words around than I.

John Kerry Must Be Worth It, I Guess

Secretary of State “Why the Long Face?” John Kerry was under the protection of more security during his recent trip to Virginia than was deployed to Benghazi before last year’s terrorist attack.

Makes ya kinda wonder, doesn’t it?

On Kerry’s first day as head of the State Department, four agents were on hand when he traveled from Washington to Virginia in a limo. That’s 1 more than the State Department posted in Benghazi before the attack that took the lives of four Americans.

Are You Losing Your Health Coverage?

English: President Barack Obama's signature on...

I had a conversation with a liberal a few months ago about Obamacare. I kept asking for him to explain how we’d pay for it, he kept telling me how he was excited a lot of underprivileged people would now have health care. I never got an answer and, needless to say, the “debate” went nowhere.

Well, under the guise of “redistribution of wealth“, it now looks like we’ll have a brand new group of underprivileged folks – those who have worked hard to have health care, and will soon have it stripped from them. Read on…

Shocking Failure?

Electric vehicles

Ah, the hybrid car. You know, people who have them seem to think they are the slickest thing since sliced bread. I don’t blame them though, the electronics alone are worthy of a NASA space mission.

But, can the past crop of hybrid cars really be called “hybrid”?

I remember many years ago when one of the tech mags (Pop Sci, Popular Mechanics, can’t recall) had an in depth article about a “homegrown” hybrid car someone had built. Big car, lots of batteries, ran on electricity until batteries ran dry and then a gas engine kicked in to recharge the batteries. I think it had a range of about 40 miles until it had to use gas. Now, that’s what I call a true hybrid – uses the best of both worlds.

Can We Inflate Our Way Out of Debt?

Comparisons of the changes in the National Min...

Obama: We can’t cut our way into prosperity.

Republicans: We can’t tax our way into prosperity.

Man behind the curtain: Hey, why not inflate our way into prosperity?

It’s a simple theory. If you have a lot of fixed costs (mortgage, car loans, student loans, credit cards, medical bills, etc.), and your income doubles, then your fixed expenses will account for a smaller percentage of your income. You now have more money to spend on consumer goods, right? You’ll help the economy, right?

WRONG!
