I am highly opinionated with a firm grip on the difference between right and wrong. I pay more attention to the candidates and the issues than to precise party lines. My facts are just that... FACTS- and my opinions are MY opinions- Regardless of what the subject, you can always find a good read on my blog, I write about various issues and not everything is focused on the subject of politics. I hope you enjoy!

Post Number 1000!

June 17th 2008 14:23
It's hard to believe, but this is my 1000th post on Orble. I wasn't aware of it until last night when a friend pointed it out to me. Really Long Link (This is the person who told me, so here's a plug. Use this link if you're interested in moving to Australia.)

I couldn't decide what to say on such a momentous event. Should I just ignore it and speak my mind on one of my usual subjects? Should I use the opportunity to fire back at the people who constantly accuse me of being racist or of "spewing hate and vitriol"? Not today. Those who have to call me names to make themselves feel better aren't worth the trouble. So this post, number 1000 is dedicated to those who are worth the effort to read.

When I'm looking for a Christian perspective, I have two places to go, Really Long Link and Really Long Link

If I'm looking for information on herbs and natural remedies, I go to Really Long Link

To get a perspective on distant people, places and politics, there's Really Long Link

For interesting (and occasionally somewhat over the edge) information on finances, I read
Really Long Link

When I wonder what Alaskans think, Really Long Link

And a new favorite of mine, http://plancksconstant.org/

There are many other interesting blogs on Orble, of course, and I do a lot of reading. It also provides me with great material for my political books!

So, thank you Orble and fellow Orblers for making blogging so much fun! Now to start on the second thousand posts!

I'm hurt, crushed, devastated in your leaving me out! I will survive, but it'll be tough.

Congratulations on your prolific writing. You and I disagree on many issues but you express your views well when you avoid the easy and cute nicknames.

But criticism has no place here; just a simple congratulations. I have every expectation that of your next 1,000 posts at least 990 will get my blood pressure up.

Thank you, Jim. I wouldn't want you to have low blood pressure! That can be dangerous!

I almost forgot another favorite of mine. PopCon is very evenhanded with his political analysis.

Hey S.L. Congratulations, I think of all the writers here at Orble you and I see eye to eye on just about every issue, and that makes you my favorite.

Now I am looking forward to post 2000, and everyone in between keep up the GOOD work.

Thank you Lester! It's a pleasure to share views with you, too! Educating Orble isn't an easy job, but we do give it our best shot, don't we? LOL

wow, quite an achievement.......

and what's with the name calling bit? never can understand that.......variety is the tapestry of life, each to their own.

Comment by S.L.

Thank you, Louie! The name calling is from people who disagree with me and get frustrated because I won't agree with them. They tend to call me names and launch all sorts of accusations when they run out of arguments. My new book "Political Journey" is loaded with examples of the name calling and ugliness. I thought it was entertaining to see the difference between the way liberals and conservatives press their issues. The contrast is really amazing!

I like the subject of your 1000 post, a fitting idea to such a milestone. If we want to know what good blogs are out there you have the qualifications to tell us.

Thanks for the plug to! (although I changed my URL so now for the best Australian migration advice click on http://www.nobordersguide.com/ )

I have to give it to you, for consistency at the very least!

Thank you nobordersguide! Had it not been for you mentioning it, I wouldn't have even noticed!

Hi Fog, what's wrong? Are you jealous because I didn't mention you in my diarrhea (Orblerrhea) attack?

Comment by Mountain Fog

June 20th 2008 00:05
to be jealous one must feel envy and covet something that one sees in the other...

I'll let you know if I ever become jealous of any of your personality disorder traits....

How very sweet of you, Mountain Fog. It's so nice to hear from someone as kind and open minded as you are.

Congrats, SL. Im still trying to get to 100.

Comment by Mountain Fog

June 21st 2008 13:43
oh that's entirely my pleasure!

of course, you are an expert on kindness and the doyen of the world when it comes to being 'open minded', one just has to read some of your posts to....

Or, maybe you are just a comedian with a very black sense of ill humour...

I wasn't aware that you and I had any problems, Fog. But if it pleases you to think we do, then by all means, have fun.
