In a couple of days Mrs. RR and I will be boarding a train to the nation’s capital for our annual pilgrimage to CPAC. Other years there were the odd person or so handing out newspaper from the Socialist Workers Party in the lobby of the hotel. This year is different. That fun-loving yet rabble-rousing [...]

A long, strange trip… and a significant milestone!
January 31st, 2012
Today RRB (as it’s affectionately known) hit a major milestone. I don’t think that Mike and I had any idea that this would ever grow to this status. In the short time we’ve been in existence we’ve attracted over one million visits from nearly 150,000 unique visitors. Total: 1,000,172 hits and 145,888 unique. Today: 1,335 [...]
To Mitt Romney: Bring the Job Cuts On!
January 10th, 2012
We can all bemoan the coronation of Mitt as the ersatz chosen candidate of the GOP. But it will probably happen. The GOP is in dire danger of losing its way over this. They think the TP is dead. It’s certainly not. I know, I go to more than one meeting a month on political [...]
Impeach Obama – the Word from Concord, MA!
January 9th, 2012
This morning Mrs. RR and I were taking our morning walk around the town. As we approached the green from the direction of the toy shop we noticed someone holding a sign near the big flagpole. As we go closer we noticed that it said: “Impeach Barack Obama”! It was an amazing sight to see [...]

Here’s a link to register your support for this petition to get Bob Maginn to resign as head of the MassGOP. If you need evidence in order to support this, please see other blog entries on this site… or just Google Maginn’s name for a mountain of evidence against his continuing role in the MassGOP. [...]
Top 8 Reasons Why MassGOP is Ineffective
December 31st, 2011
Leadership is chosen from among cronies only, others need not apply. Or even show up at the meeting. The leader of the MassGOP, Bob Maginn, donates frequently to Democrats. This is never acceptable. Yet, he does – and more than once. MassGOP leadership is not taking any action to replace Maginn, in spite [...]
27 Days Left!
December 4th, 2011
It’s time to stock up on 100w incandescant light bulbs. You only have 27 days until your federal government makes them illegal. (75w bulbs go in 2013, the rest each year later) Mrs RR and I have an entire cabinet in the basement filled with 40w, 60w, 75w, and 100w bulbs. We buy them whenever they’re [...]
Iranian “students” take over Embassy in Tehran
November 29th, 2011
So, Iranian students have taken over the British Embassy in Tehran. One wonders why it’s always “students” that do these things? Is that supposed to make us sympathetic to their cause? Or, is this just the latest in the Occupy locations… Occupy: British Embassy? And, does anyone else (assuming you’re old like me) feel deja [...]
