« Terry's Trivial Trivia # 9 | Main | A Little Sleep, a Little Slumber »

Random Rants #34

One reason I don't own a gun is because of the plethora of guns laws on the books. I'm afraid I would unknowingly break one of those laws and get into big trouble.      


Since when did cable TV become an inalienable right?   


It is supposedly not good for people to get everything they want. At least, that's the trendy and fashionable thing to say. However, no one can convince me that I wouldn't be better off right now, having gotten everything I've ever wanted.


I'm curious about people who are never outside the mainstream on any issue. I wonder if they actually ever take time to think through anything.


Have you ever accidentally given yourself a "popcorn crown", as I call it? That occurs when you get a kernel of popcorn stuck to the bottom of an upper tooth or the top of a lower tooth. It feels like a crown that is too "high" and sometimes can be difficult to remove. 


I understand that Ted Kennedy has written a children's book. Maybe he can read it too!


Enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of shortcomings.


I look older than I am. Therefore, I feel the need to offset this fact by behaving like someone who is younger than I.


Kudos to Keith Olbermann for continuing to protest the fact that he is required to do silly celebrity stories along with the serious stuff. Maybe next time he'll put something in his contract that will give him veto power over that drivel.

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.
