Sally Quinn, again

Just Google "sally Quinn Sarah Palin" (without the quotation marks, of course). I just did, and it was the second hit.

I give up

Damn it!

I hate it when I hit "enter" instead of "tab." Anyway, since the cut-and-paste thing isn't working, I'm going to give this one more try, and type out the URL of Sally Quinn's insult:

Copy and paste isn'tworking...

Oops.

Here's the link, I hope. I don't know why it didn't show earlier.

Anti- Christian Morons

I am absolutely sick to death of the idiots in the mainstream media trying to tell Christians how we ought to think about things. Sally Quinn, of the Washington Post, has published one of the most insultingly inane criticisms of Alaska governor Sarah Palin in regard to her pregnant seventeen-year-old. The link:

The Left has been telling us since at least 1973 that abstinence teaching is useless, that "kids are going to do it anyway." Now they imply that Governor Palin is an unfit mother because her oldest daughter has gotten pregnant outside of wedlock? What happened to that all-too-convenient excuse? Does the fact that Bristol Palin is going to have her baby and marry the father (her boyfriend), rather than murdering it in utero, have anything to do with it?

SCOTUS

The only thing I don't like about today's Supreme court ruling in Heller is the fact that there are four justices who cannot see a clearly enumerated right in the second amendment.

Oh, wait. There's also that "...and bear..." thing. It's obvious the Founders intended for us to be allowed actually to carry our arms with us! What a revolutionary idea! Thus we should be able not only to protect our loved ones and selves within the confines of our domiciles, but even when out and about in the cold, cruel world. Who'd'a thunk it?

Well, obviously, not our imperial Supreme Court. I mean, this was a much better ruling than any of us libertarian conservatives had any reason to hope for, but it certainly isn't perfect.

Of course, the only perfect world is the one to come...

Oops!

Okay, to be perfectly honest, I haven't figured out how to get e-mails from this blog. But I did figure out how to solicit, review, edit, and respond to comments. I can be such a genius!

Also, you may call me Sonny. Or any other thing you want, since your comments have to go through me before they're posted publicly.

Very honestly, I had no concrete idea of what I wanted this blog to be when I started it a few days ago. It started as a joke based on my daughter's blog (see blog list). I really am a jeweler and have been for 38 years, as of September 23, 2008.

I have a lot of issues with many aspects of the jewelry industry. There are charlatans, including those morons who think they're being clever when they "switch" customers' stones. I am happy to tell you that such people are exceedingly rare. As far as I know, I have never worked with or known anyone who has done this. But the more I consider what I can do here, the more I think I can inform the public of what really goes on in the industry. And so I shall.

I love my work, and I love the jewelry business despite the fact that much of it is distinctly unlovable. But what industry can claim otherwise?

If you have questions about anything concerning fine jewelry (which would include gold and platinum, diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and many of the "semi-precious" stones), please feel free to write. If I can figure out how to do so, I'll answer publicly here. Otherwise, I'll answer privately only.

This is my first post. As I currently have nothing nice to say, I shall say nothing at all.
