Goin' to California, yes
To resurrect my soul
The sun is always shinin', shinin'
Or at least that's what I'm told...
I will be vacationing in California later this month (Santa Cruz to be precise) and may blog once or twice when I am down there if there is time to. Those who would find it interesting that I would head down to a place like Santa Cruz (which is one of the former Kremlin's west coast branches) it is to visit one of my oldest friends who has (in their time there) definitely become another Ted Nugent if you know what I mean. So it should be a blast and be a good recharge for my mental and physiological batteries. I am going to have to get in some "pre-emptive training" at the gym to prepay in advance for the

So in the tradition started with the late 2003's Puerto Vallarta Special Reports threads, there will probably be a thread or more blogged when I am down there...time-willing of course.

Conservatives are scary. Everyone knows it. They're fanatical, radical, evangelical . . . or not. But what do the facts matter in politics.
Just like there are fanatical, radical, evangelical conservatives, there are also fanatical, radical, evangelical socialists. Our country has been run by the latter for the better part of 40 years, so it is not entirely unreasonable that a couple of generations of Canadian children have grown up without ever understanding that there is a middle ground -- and that in many ways, especially recently, it is the Conservative Party of Canada that holds that middle ground.
Just like 2004, Paul Martin is using this election to attack my values and tell me that I don't belong. He's aiming his vitriol at Stephen Harper, but most of what he says applies to me as well and since the shoe fits . . [LINK]
I will readily admit that Canadian politics is something I find confusing; ergo I will email my Canadian friend Pete Vere and ask for his appraisal of the above thread. From what I have read, it looks good but I know better than to attempt an analysis of Canadian politics lest I come across looking like a moron. So Pete, give that thread a read and email me with your comments so I can blog them for the benefit of the readers m'kay???
