A MAP OF MY LIFE.

I discovered "My Maps" in Google Maps. You can map anything that you would like using pictures, text or both. If you click on the map above you will see some of the things that I have done and things that interest me.

Also Known As....

As a relative newcomer to the world of politics I am often confused be the terminology used by the media. Why for instance do they say "right wing" and then say Republican when they are referring to the same thing. To clear this up I have come up with a list of terms and what they are referring to, in layman's terms of course.

Republicans and the Republican Party:

• G.O.P. or Grand Old Party
• Right Wing
• Red States
• Conservatives
• Religious Right
• Social Conservatives
• Neocons
• Fundamentalists
• Reds
  

Democrats and the Democratic Party:

• Left Wing
• Blue States
• Liberals
• Progressives
• Blues

This list is in no way complete.

A Celebration of the Century Mark

Well, there have now been 100 posts here at Peculiar Recountings. That's quite an accomplish- ment if you ask me. That's 100 times an opinion/observation/fact/thought has been published for the free world to bask in the glory thereof. Think about how that could change everything!! I mean where else could you get a Review In 20 Words or Less for "Smokin' Aces" or an in depth analysis of Action Films Vs. Adventure Films ,or, my personal favorite, a full exploration of Why Things Happen. There's just so much information that needs to conveyed it boggles the mind. The treatises here at Peculiar Recountings are a liken to a plump water balloon traveling at 60 mph poised to impact a solid, arid brick wall where the dry minds of the readers are ripe for the inevitable ensuing explosion of wetness.

Now, if this site somehow does not fulfill your dry wasteland of a mind, I invite you over to Milwen.com where the cynicism, among other things, continues.
