Big Announcement…. and my Apologoies
Hello fans of Don'sRant.com. I wanted to take a moment to apologize for my lack of content updates. My webhost, GoDaddy.com has been horrible. They have also not been very accommodating to my needs when requesting service. Migrating the domain to another host is a little tedious so I will be my blog here for the foreseeable future. This is not the primary issue. My ...
Terrorism…Do We Still Take it Seriously?
I have to wonder sometimes, if we still take terrorism seriously. It is easy for those in power to come up to a podium or "teleprompter" and condemn an act of terrorism. Does that really do anything if the words do not come with conviction? Where is the resolve a leader should posses when protecting the people from foreign threats? Janet Napolitano director of homeland ...

Tom Petty Live Anthology
Tom Petty has been a staple of the Country/Rock seen for a quarter century. It would seem odd that there was only 1 live album up until this November. Tom Petty skillfully put together a 4 disc live anthology that covers every decade. Performances range from the late 70's to current spanning just about every record produced. All the best hits are here from "Refuge" ...
What did we get from 2009?
As 2010 draws near it becomes hard to reflect, so much of what is 2009 will be left behind in a forgotten tomb. Our accomplishments... the first black president is inaugurated. The sour taste in our mouths.... every piece of legislation this first black president jammed down our throats. Oh wait a minute, it was so fast I did not get a chance to taste ...
Has Anyone Read the new Health Care Bill?
As we Americans come closer and closer to the end of freedom as we know it, we have to ask if anybody has ever read this damn bill. Did Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi actually read the bill? How can our representatives back such a huge change to our health care system without knowing exactly how the laws will affect the people.
This is hypocrisy at its best. ...
Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
Every now and again I like to return back to my youth. Well ok almost everyday. Nothing can help acheve this better than listening to a great 90's band such as Smashing Pumkins. In my opinion Siamese Dream accomplishes what every great rock album should. Explosive guitras that trend into dreamy melodies, Grinding chords that rock the soul, lyrics that tame the heart, and drums ...
Some Still Hopeful… What Will Tomorrow Bring
I recently come across a blog from a University of North Carolina student. It is of no surprise that the youth of America want action from our representatives it is what they are asking for that draws some concern. Brinkley Hutchings one of 100,000 protesters to march in Copenhagen amidst talks of climate negotiations. During a question and answer session with Secretary of Energy Steven Chu ...
Celebrating the Boston Tea Party
on Dec 16, 1773 the colonists in Boston Massachusetts, refused to return 3 ships full of taxed tea back to the British government. Colonists boarded the three ships and began throwing it overboard into the Boston Harbor. These events sparked the American Revolution. The colonists were pissed that there were not seated elected representatives giving the right to tax such goods as tea.
Today we remember ...
