I bought the domain reformourgovernment.com – Any ideas?

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 30, 2008 with 0 Comments

Open for comments and suggestions here. I can create Word Press sites like this one pretty quickly.
Looking for arch conservatives and pro life Libertarians to build upon the movements listed below.
Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic is doing a nice job with this idea, along with the Campaign for Liberty blog.

Meatball Sundae Review

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 30, 2008 with 0 Comments

I recently read Seth Godin’s book- Meatball Sundae. It was a quick read and presents a very focused explanation of the new marketing paradigms that the web presents.
The book is another in a long line of hits from Godin. He has also authored The Dip, Tribes, and Purple Cow.
This book is a great insight into [...]

Real Estate Search Engines of major players are asking for login info

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 30, 2008 with 0 Comments

Is this a wise move in the permission driven world of Internet Marketing. I’m not sure. I know how I handle the situation. I look to the one search engine that is not requiring me to log in each time I want to scan properties on the market. People on the web only care about [...]

Baby Dedication at Southeast Christian has nearly 60 children

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 30, 2008 with 0 Comments

For those that don’t understand baby dedication, it is the act of publicly declaring that you and your spouse will raise your child in the ways of Jesus Christ and in accordance with his teachings. You are effectively saying we give this little child over to your Lord. It is similar to the Catholic sacrament [...]

Tackling in the NFL is now illegal and punishable by fine a week later

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 30, 2008 with 0 Comments

You heard it here first. You can no longer tackle or block in the NFL. This will change the game, I’m just not sure to what degree. The NFL looked into flag football and also has considered two hand touch as an alternative but neither has been approved at this juncture.
Hines Ward and other receivers [...]

Sports Talking Heads say Manning and Manning are not top 5 QB’s

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 29, 2008 with 0 Comments

Two weekends ago, an analyst on NBC rolled through his list of the top five quarterbacks. I wasn’t paying much attention when he first started talking. I didn’t start listening until after I didn’t hear Peyton or Eli Manning on the list. No Peyton- the Superbowl QB from two years ago. The future hall of [...]

I have posted about Crash Proof- by Peter Schiff on my blog and I included it as the feature book in my ezine about a month back. I bought the book on a Thursday or Friday and finished it by Sunday. It is a great read and it took me back to thoughts I had [...]

UK and the ghost of Steve Spurrier

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 20, 2008 with 0 Comments

UK couldn’t shed the baggage of not beating Steve Spurrier. He and his South Carolina team even gave the ball to Kentucky 5 or 6 times and my cats still couldn’t take down the aggressive one. Maybe Spurrier will leave South Carolina and land somewhere like Florida A&M. Then maybe they will be in a [...]

Putting up the sticks for Winter

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 20, 2008 with 0 Comments

I think I’m going to winterize the sticks. My last few rounds have been kinda blah. I have played too few rounds lately due to my business and the three small people who run around my house and make noise all night. On the other hand I have played too many scrambles. This was the [...]

Obama- the radical? Absolutely

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 15, 2008 with 0 Comments

Let me start by saying that I am not a huge fan of John McCain’s. Second, let me say that I supported Mike Huckabee in the primaries and now I support the policies of Ron Paul. Actually, I think our country is doomed without the type of revolution that Ron Paul is bringing about. Third, [...]

Gift cards to restaurants and retail are a little risky- give me cash

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 13, 2008 with 0 Comments

Give me cash and I’ll go to my favorite restaurants or retail shops. Well not retail, we hardly ever pay retail. Makes my stomach turn anymore. My wife gets so many great deals from yard sales, consignment shops and of course, craig’s list, ebay and cheapcycle; it makes paying retail so hard to do. Now [...]

Baseball needs to go to a 7 game series or go back to no wild card

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 13, 2008 with 0 Comments

I have an idea. Let’s play 160 long exhaustive baseball games starting in April and ending in October. We’ll play in cold weather, then warm weather, then really hot weather, then warm weather and then really cold weather. After we settle upon who the best and hottest teams are this year, let’s take them sit [...]

Politicians lecturing corporate execs about greed-irony?

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 13, 2008 with 0 Comments

I’m not coming down on the side of all corporate execs here. Are there some lavish spenders and some fraudulent execs with big corporate? Sure. Are there some massive layoffs happening while execs pull down insane amounts of cash via golden parachutes and stock options? Sure. Are there are a lot of corporate execs who [...]

Well after reflecting for a while on the Ryder Cup and my experiences volunteering and watching, I put together the best moments for me.

Politicians were in a pickle on the bailout

Posted by Bryce Raley on October 7, 2008 with 0 Comments

Some polls showed 88% of Americans wanted no part of this recent bailout. Apparently this had to be very bipartisan in nature. Even if the number was 60% which I heard thrown around as well, then conservatives and liberals, republicans and democrats were mostly in favor of leaving this one up to the free markets. [...]
