I like Pat J. because............

During the past election season, I read blogs by many angry political bloggers from both sides of the aisle. I'm sure these folks had their followers, most being as passionate as themselves.

During the same time, I had folks coming here whose views were both conservative and liberal, hopefully, as Struke put it in the comments of my last post, "to stop at the rest area on the information superhighway."

The blogger I'm going to tell you about is Pat Jenkins. He's a conservative republican, but he states his views in a humorous way, tongue in cheek if you may. He also uses his pet snark to tease all of us who make regular visits to his blog, called Pat J.(at least in my mind) Knows it all.

I call Pat the Rush Limbaugh of my blogroll. I also awarded him the "Excellence in Blogging" top banana this past January. I have also teased him about posting from his golden EIB keyboard.

Aside from his political views, Pat blogs about his family, wife Karen and daughter MacKenzie. Karen has recently started writing her own blog, Karens Korner and is proving to be an excellent blogger. MacKenzie is a champion in tennis, with a little coaching help from the old man.

Pat makes his daily trips to all the blogs, offering his sometimes twisted insight, but also his support when needed. He is also a Buckeye blogger, coming from Springfield, near Dayton, Ohio.
Check him out, but be nice. He believes in just recompense.

Wixy, thanks for the "shout out". I love the way you compare him to Rush. If you two were to ever sit and talk, you'd swear they were one in the same. You're too sweet!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
