I'm liable to write about anything that strikes me at the time. One thing you can be sure of, however, is that if it's posted on here, it matters to me, and as such, what I have to say isn't always going to sit well with everyone who reads it. If you ever read anything here that offends you, I apologize for the offense, but I don't apologize for the saying. I'm also very happy to admit when I'm wrong, if you can convince me of it! Happy trails!

Some of you out there in the Bakosphere aren't going to like my cartoon. Thing is,you don't have to. That's why it's on my blog. I even warn readers with a picture of a fire-breathing preacher and the blog's name: My Soap Box. Some of you, though, will appreciate it. I hope.

I’ve always liked that Family.
Crows and ravens, especially.
Their inky depths, their enveloping shadows.
Their bone clacking clicks
And ear shattering caws.
The way they perch and look into you
To decide if they want
To steal your soul
Or tell you a secret
Or crap on...
I was reading the paper today and discovered that the death toll of American military in Iraq was at over 3,900. That is just US military, and doesn’t include non-military US citizens like contractors or private security, nor does it include fallen military members of allied forces, nor the military or civilian Iraqi dead. I am guessing that at this rate we will hit the 4,000 mark by the end of winter, or very close to it.
To help put that number of 4,000 into perspective,...
