Classic Rants and Raves #35

Dixie Carter should sue her plastic surgeon. From looking at her new face job, it appears that he tried to make her look like Alyssa Milano!      


Those who can, do; those who can't, become realtors!   


Here's an idea for a new country music title: "I passed a milestone, then I passed a gall stone."


The best way to keep someone from interfering with your plans is to not let that person know about them.


The Internet is without a doubt hurting the sales of reference materials. Within free websites like Wikipedia, Reference.com, Dictionary, and Thesaurus.com, one can find the same information that used to be available only in a bunch of expensive books. 


Murphy's Soda Law: Whenever you put a soda in your freezer to cool it down for "a few minutes", you almost always forget about it, leaving it to freeze solid before you discover your mistake.


If I'm afraid of what the answer might be, I won't ask the question.


Isn't radio advertising just a form of legalized payola?


If no one has ever been resentful of you, it's probably because you've never been successful at anything.

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.
