Random Rants #21

Short cuts almost always come with hidden costs.


Show me a person who is not free to make mistakes and I'll show you a person who is not free to excel. 


It never ceases to amaze me how often those who are always talking about standing up for "liberty" are some of the same folks who try to limit the freedom of others.


The only perfect person I admire is Jesus Christ. I have no use for any of the rest!


If your computer is not working properly, it could be because you're not holding your mouse right! 


Shouldn't the University of Delaware men's sports teams be called the Blue Roosters? I would feel very uncomfortable playing for any team called the Blue Hens. I wonder how many potential recruits they lose each year because of that name.


A lot of people like to refer to our modern era as "these uncertain times." But has there ever been a period in history when times were certain? I can't think of any.


If right-wing conservatives think you're a left-wing liberal and left-wing liberals think you're a right-wing conservative, you're probably doing something right!


Is it just me or are TV and radio commercials becoming more and more annoying?

Blog Summary


  • No-holds-barred commentary (and humor) by Terry Mitchell on a variety of subjects such as current events, society and culture, politics, personal finance, technology, religion, health and well-being, sports, media issues, and trivia.

    His blog entries have been picked up or linked to by mainstream news services like Reuters, CNN, Wall Street Journal Online, USA Today, the Houston Chronicle, the Austin American-Statesman, the Dallas Morning News, the Chicago Sun Times, the Palm Beach Post, CoxOhio.com, Northwest Florida Daily News, ConsumerAffairs.com, WWL-TV, WMUR, and WNBC. In addition to his blogging, he is currently a regular columnist for etalkinghead.com and American Chronicle. He has also written over 100 feature-length articles that have appeared on numerous Web sites.

    In this blog, Terry will never miss an opportunity to assail political correctness or take pot shots at the conventional foolishness.

    In this age of information overload, Terry knows that most people don't have time to read long, rambling blog entries. Therefore, he serves up most of his posts on this blog in small, bite-size portions. You'll appreciate his cut-to-the-chase writing style that gets straight to the point without the unnecessary and boring lead-ins.

    Also, Terry makes following promises in regard to this blog that very few bloggers will make:

    1) Posts which are always family-friendly and free of profanity and vulgarity (despite this fact, this blog is never boring and never shies away from controversy).

    2) A reasonable effort to assure proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure.

    Readers are free to comment, both pro and con, on any post. However, any comments that include profanity or name-calling will be promptly deleted. One who cannot defend his position on a given issue without resorting to such tactics is, at best, too ignorant to adequately defend his position, and at worst, lacking a defensible position altogether.

    For Terry's biography (in his own words), see the "ABOUT" link on the left side of this page, just below his photo.
