I have fairly strong opinions, this is where I keep ’em.

Free Floating Hostility Weekend

Posted on August 24, 2013 by HeSaid.

I promised rants and unsubstantiated opinions on the last one, and the past week has given me plenty of fodder.  This may become a regular thing.  Hey, it works for Foamy. So, we’ve had quite the eventful week, what with … Continue reading →

One Nation….Divided by whatever catches our attention.

Posted on July 20, 2013 by HeSaid.

This is part one of two.  The second half will most likely involve ranting and unsubstantiated opinions.  You know, what most people turn on their televisions to watch and then go on Facebook to bitch about.  Yes, I recognize the … Continue reading →

Secession or “I didn’t get my way so I’m quitting!”

Posted on November 17, 2012 by HeSaid.

No disclaimer.  It’s a Teve Torbes post.  Yes, I typed up the previous post in anticipation of this one. Holy crap. I thought people had lost their minds immediately after the election.  The amount of hatred that was spewed across … Continue reading →

Posted on October 26, 2012 by HeSaid.

Disclaimer: This post is biased. I have done my best to remove offensive language from it.  However, there will probably be some remnants.  That happens when someone suggests that military deaths are a good thing. I realize that much of … Continue reading →

If There’s A New Way, I’ll Be The First In Line…

Posted on September 2, 2012 by HeSaid.

For those who don’t know, that’s the chorus from a song titled “Peace Sells” by the band Megadeth.  Been listening to it a lot lately.  It seems fairly appropriate as we approach Election Day.  I imagine there’s a few folks … Continue reading →

Apathy is not an option

Posted on February 27, 2012 by HeSaid.

“If there’s a candidate this year you feel really passionate about, consider professional help.” – Stephen Green   True enough.  The above quote was flying around the Twitters last week, and I have to agree with it.  There is no … Continue reading →

Horn Etiquette

Posted on October 3, 2011 by HeSaid.

This grew from a discussion with my better half that came up over the weekend.  We had just dropped the kiddo off with my mother-in-law and were on our way home.  We’re sitting at a light with a few other … Continue reading →

Ten years later…

Posted on September 11, 2011 by HeSaid.

This one took some effort to write.  So much I want to say and just don’t have the words.  If you haven’t lived it, you will never truly understand it. You can’t escape it.  It’s in the news everywhere you … Continue reading →
