If you’re a regular on this site you will notice we have changed the look of our site again. We have three themes to use at any given time, but this theme is by far the one I like the most.
The gold and soft yellow show a happiness and optimistic outlook on life. [...]

We have added the Newsmax/AP video feed of the day’s top stories to our sidebar. This is in addition to the Breitbart text stories also listed on the sidebar.

My beloved Red Sox, who have broken my heart many times in my life, have made me a very happy person tonight with their 11-2 win against the Cleveland Indians.
Now on to the Colorado Rockies for the World Series.
Because of the game I missed the Republican debate (hey, you have to have priorities), but I [...]

At least I am and I left a message for Sue to do the same. Even God rested one day in seven.

As you may or may not know Rush Limbaugh has up for auction at EBay the original letter to his boss, signed by Harry Reid and 40 other senators, including Senator Clinton.
We have a real time widget on the sidebar right under the Verse of the Day to show you how much the latest bid [...]

I received an email from Guss today telling me he gave it his best shot, but blogging is not for him. He says he’s neglecting his dogs and work that needs to be done at the house and has cleared all his posts off his site.
I have asked kimsch to change the theme to [...]

Ed Driscoll has addressed the evolution of mass media in its various forms just superbly.
If you are someone involved in the information business from mass media to talk radio or the largest or smallest blog on the web, this is a must read.
The twentieth century was the high point of mass culture—or “the [...]

With Dan Rather’s announcement that he is suing CBS and Viacom over his dismissal from CBS, new life has been given to the Rathergate TANG report.
Mary Mapes has been writing at Huffington Post (I don’t read it) and I found this one piece of her quote to be quite interesting:
What was different in our case [...]

Right Wing News sent out a questionnaire to 240 right/center bloggers asking 7 questions ranging from their opinions of the two major parties’ positions on the military to the presidential candidates.
50 blogs responded.
I’m not going to give the entire post, but I am going to give you a couple of the questions and answers to [...]

I want to take this opportunity to thank Sue from the bottom of my heart for the hard work she has put into this blog this week.
I didn’t announce it, but I’ve been away this week and she has carried the entire load in an esxemplary manner all by herself, even with all her other [...]

Yesterday, Guss surprised all of us by saying he was going to stay away from blogging on this blog until after the election due to the tit for tat that has been going on.
We are in the process of setting up a separate blog for Guss that will be his alone to manage.
The URL for [...]

The political season has started with a bang and J and I have, sometimes, different points of view. If I stayed and continued to post, it would be nothing but tit for tat and I respect her too much to do that. Hopefully, after the election, I will try my hand at blogging again. I [...]

This is a post I wish for Daniel, K. Daniel, Jacob, Jakob or whatever alias you wish to use today to read and make one of your foolish comments on.
You will not be allowed to have your posts show as it is all spam. You use various IP addresses, names and URLs in your [...]

Sue has already gone to visit family in another state, and I’ll be doing the same thing on Monday if my back and stomach cooperate.
That leaves Guss, who will be manning the fort for the most part but has promised to put up conservative or at least neutral posts as well as his regular liberal [...]

I know that lately visiting here seems like your in liberal territory. That’s not the case. Most of the posts you see are liberal because my fellow conservative Bloggers are either sick or have other obligations that need to be attended to. Please don’t stop visiting if you are conservative because things will [...]

Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are [...]

After reading Ayschlay’s excellent post on our pre-conceived notions of the major media today I went to the New York Times to see what was free on their site and to look at some of the articles that interested me.
Since I’m not much of a television viewer I noticed an article talking about the guests [...]

I have extended an invitation to Truman to be a blogger on our site and write as often as Truman would like to write.
Truman’s interest in blogging here is to discuss faith and religious issues.
Please welcome Truman to our blogging team, as he adds to an already great team of bloggers.

In our never-ending effort to prove conservatives and liberals can actually discuss politics, disagree and still be pleasant to one another, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the newest member of our team, Ayschlay.
Ayschlay is a liberal-leaning person who is in higher education in the political science field.
I will let him tell you [...]

Please welcome Barb from The Barb Wire, who will be doing postings on faith-issues.
She has her own blog and will be cross-posting her posts from the Barb Wire to here when she feels she has a good post we’d all be interested in reading.
Please give her a big welcome!

Please welcome “Guss” to our blogging team.
He says he will most likely not write about politics and will most likely write only occasionally. That’s until he gets the blogging bug.
Welcome to the team, Guss.

We have been experiencing some problems with long-time posters getting caught in our spam filter for some unknown reason.
I am now emptying the spam filter everytime I check the page and am checking for valid posts so I can rescue them. Big Mo and Hootsbuddy are two who have been caught in the black [...]

L T is busy putting a new roof on his new digs, Sue has other obligations through the day, and I have a sore left eye from eye strain looking at the computer so long.
We’ll try to update sometime today, so come back and check, but we make no promises. Thank you for [...]

Wizbang, a site that has been conservative since its inception, now has Wizbang Blue for the liberal readers of the blogosphere.
I’m adding it to our blogroll and now you have someplace other than Huffington Post or Kos to choose from which to read.
Seems they’re doing what we are except we don’t devote an entire [...]

We have our grandchildren with us all day today and tomorrow, although Friday I will be going to a Bible Study event and will not be back until sometime early to mid-afternoon on Saturday.
I’ll post as I have the time today and tomorrow morning.

Tonto will be absent for awhile since he has several projects he is working on in a home recently purchased that he and his wife are remodeling.
He’ll be back as soon as he has the free time to blog. I can’t wait to see his new place because he can take a shack and [...]

We at Js Cafenette are already asking our readers to be civil to one another and we don’t have anyone’s seal of approval. It just makes sense.

On Wednesday I have a dental appointment in the morning and a regular doctor appointment in the afternoon, with an allergy shot squeezed in the middle.
If you make a comment and it gets held in moderation I will approve it as soon as I get the chance.

We have a blogroll of favorite blogs and sites to visit. It is deliberately not long because if I put in 100 sites I could not honestly tell you I read every one of them every day, so I’ve chosen my favorites.
If you have any suggestions of some I’ve missed please let me know [...]

If you use Internet Explorer you will notice things that should be on the sidebar are now on the bottom of the page.
My web designer has been working on it and we have the best minds in the business trying to figure out why the template isn’t doing as it should with just the addition [...]
