Classic Rants and Raves #20

I don't know of any bad thing that ever happens at a good or convenient time.


For those who have broadband internet connections, I see little or no need to be interested in satellite radio for the home. The internet offers a much wider choice of radio channels, both commercial-free and over-the-air, than satellite radio could ever match.


Sometimes the lack of a response can speak louder than an actual answer. 


Every baseball fans knows what a walk-off home run is, but have you ever heard of a "walk-out" home run? That's when someone on the visiting team hits a late inning home run to put a game away and the fans of home team subsequently begin to head for the exits!


I once had a bad experience with a blind date -- her guide dog bit me!


When I was a kid, I used to think Israel had a king named Barney. I had misunderstood some words to the "The First Noel." I thought people were singing, "Barney's the king of Israel!"


It is always a very pleasant experience for me when I encounter a smell or sound that triggers a memory of something from my childhood.

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.
