Kudos to Obama

…for breaking this campaign promise.  “Public” financing is really taking tax dollars from people who don’t support and candidate, and dumping them directly into that candidate’s campaign coffers.  Taking “public” financing is tantamount to using stolen money to fund your campaign.

Sadly, the article mentions that Obama is still a huge supporter of public financing, just not it its current form.  Either way, I’m glad that my tax dollars won’t be going to fund a candidate I don’t support.

To Serve and Protect?

As opposed to repeating everything this guy said, I’ll just throw in my support.

Now I Know

When we have tornados at the office, they send us to the parking garage.  I am questioning the feasibility of this plan.

However, all is well.

Quick Hits

1.  Barack Obama is declaring himself the winner of the Democratic Primary.

2.  I just realized that Lifesavers are named after life buoys.  Seriously, I can’t believe they let me out of 1st Grade.

3.  That spelling bee video from the last post still makes me laugh.

4.  Things are about to get really busy.  I fear that my blog comeback may be thwarted.

Barack Obama Quits Amidst Controversy

…quits his church, of course:

(CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday that he has resigned from the church where controversial sermons by his former pastor and other ministers created political headaches for his campaign.

It will be interesting to see how this clear statement of priorities plays out in the campaign.

Passive Voice

Here are some notes from the last 36 hours without a voice:

1) When you whisper, people whisper back.

2) I am apparently funnier when I cannot talk. Okay, I get the point.

3) People look at you really funny when you walk down the street carrying on a whisper conversation.

4) There are more nice people out there than you might expect.

5) I am going to talk for a solid week once I get my voice back.

Like Houdini Without His Magic Tricks…

Like Bill Clinton without his interns…

Like George W. Bush without his war powers…

I have lost my voice.  I am a shell of my former self.  I also sound pretty creepy when I go around the office whispering to everyone.

“No web site is configured at this address.”

That’s all that is left at www.AveraStation.com. What, you ask, is Avera Station? It is was the condo for which my wife and I had a ratified contract. However, the builder decided to exercise the clause in the contract that allowed them to sell the entire property to convert it to an apartment complex.

So, just like that, the Proctor’s are back on the housing market. Unbelievable.

Will the Real JeffProctor.net Please Stand Up?

It has been almost two months since my last post. This is what my three long-time readers call “typical” blogging behavior. Each time I start blogging, I pick up on a theme, blog it to death, and then go away for a few months until I get excited about a new theme. Good for me, bad for readership.

So let’s try something different. I’m not going to change URLs or any of the other tactics I’ve used in the past to signal a dramatic change. I’m just going to start again (with a cute little redesign). The new JeffProctor.net is going to be exactly that, the Jeff Proctor blog. Past attempts at JeffProctor.net have really been JeffProctorPoliticalViews, JeffProctorPhotos, JeffProctorTravelAdventures, and similar themes. This time, it is going to be all of that, and more. If it’s happening to me, or I’m thinking it, it’s fair game. (In other words, it could be really boring.)

Hopefully I’ll be able to come up with some good stories to tell, occasionally (okay, more often than that) blab about something I think is important, show you some photos I’ve taken, and be generally entertaining. At a minimum, the blog will be a good check to make sure I’m not going crazy. I think.
