My Humble But Accurate Opinion: Does the RNC WANT Me to Vote with the DNC?
http://nocturnecsh.blogspot.com/2015/08/does-rnc-want-me-to-vote-with-dnc.html
My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Does the RNC WANT Me to Vote with the DNC? Dear Republican National Committee (RNC),. First off, the Republican party talks spending cuts and frugality, but its actions are opposite. I was so upset with President George W. "Compassionate Conservative" Bush. Do you know what I heard every time someone said "Compassionate Conservative"? After all, you DO know how successful a businessman he was before he became our President, don't you? And were you h...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion: Is This Seat Taken?
http://nocturnecsh.blogspot.com/2015/07/is-this-seat-taken.html
My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Is This Seat Taken? I've come to notice that many of those I called "friends" have ceased to be. Especially those going back to the hazy, crazy days of my youth. What happened? I'll tell you what happened: life. Life is what happened. People move to different locations, different jobs, different circles. Marriage takes you out of one and places you in another. Have kids? Some would say that life was over - at least one's social life. At one point dur...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion: Developers! Developers! Developers!

My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Some of you who follow tech news will undoubtedly recognize the title of this blog article as a quote from former Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer. I feel a kinship to Mr. Ballmer: we both like to rant. He, from the stage of Microsoft events - and possibly the sidelines of Los Angeles Clippers' games, and me, from the digital pages of this blog. Mary Jo Foley (. And a "digital Jesuit" named Robert Ballecer, SJ (. The desktop software the Zune used was...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion: Stuff My Brain Says #5
http://nocturnecsh.blogspot.com/2011/05/stuff-my-brain-says_11.html
My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Stuff My Brain Says #5. Speaking of the current debt/budget crisis: I find it rather ironic that the party that ran on "hope and change" hopes that nothing will change. Any cuts in spending have been labeled nothing short of criminal. What do they think CAN be changed if they sincerely hope for this nation to survive? And don't say "increase taxes on the rich": they've been spouting that for years - that's not change, that's a worn-out record!

My Humble But Accurate Opinion: June 2015
http://nocturnecsh.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Monday, June 29, 2015. If I Could Tell You I Love You. If my heart could sing,. What would be the song? Would it whisper like the flutter. Of a nightingale’s wing;. Or would it roar like a lion,. Both sung with heart enthralled. If I could tell you a story,. What would be the tale? Adventurous and bold,. Of brave deeds and chivalry? Or a romance which tells. Of sweet gentle caress? Both told with damp brow. If I could write you a poem,. What would be the prose? The attempt...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Hurt Me Once . . . Hurt Me Twice . . . There is one thing that you possess, that nobody - no one - can take from you. Yet it is the one thing that we give away the most: good character. Your word is your bond. And, unfortunately, be that a good word, or a bad word, it is still true. The hardest thing to lose is also the hardest to regain: your trust. Cracks in Human Perception. From a Wikipedia article. In his first four years: military operations we...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, August 30, 2015. Enough About Me. What do YOU Think About Me? So, here's the real question: Why do we think we are invincible? This is part three of a three-part series that focuses on the selfishness so prevalent in the human condition. (Please see ". My question is, why DO we think ourselves invincible? The bible mentions that God has placed "eternity in our hearts" (Ecclesiastes 3:1). What does that mean? To have no consciousness? You cannot NOT exist in your mi...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion: December 2014
http://nocturnecsh.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Years ago, a minister named Kenneth Hagin made a comment that the Christian church goes to such extremes that it finds itself in either one ditch or the other, never seeming to stay in the middle of the road very long. Even though he was the leading voice of the Name-it-claim-it faith movement (clearly nestled in one of the ditches), I have to say that he was on to something there. In a sense, yes. But they are acceptable extremists. As we were t...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, November 30, 2014. A Swat a Day, Keeps the Gum Away. Last week my wife and I had a discussion that was quite heated and passionate. Because it originated with a statement she had made, she asked that I would let her blog about it first, and wait to write my own take on it. I agreed. Last week I posted a poem. Whereas she posted " I'm So Tired. Today I'm giving you my take (and please, read hers. Okay, you want the schools of the 1950s? That is a good thing! I love ...

My Humble But Accurate Opinion. Sunday, March 29, 2015. My wife, who works as a teacher in the public school system, was reading to me an article concerning Toledo, OH teachers rallying for a moratorium on holding teachers accountable for the results of this year's PARCC exams (the state has already enacted one for the students). In the article it mentions how conservatives believe the testing is an encroachment of federal power. 169; Emittravel 2015. Posted by -j.p. No Child Left Behind. Race to the Top.
