Hello, and welcome. I've been wondering how to start this but it would appear that hurdle has been jumped. I am a "small c conservative" (someone did a great piece on that while back and I decided it applied to me,) technically a baby-boomer (tail end,) and I'm starting this blog because of a call to do so from one of my favorite haunts: http://iOwnTheWorld.com. Here's a link to the specific post:

I'd planned to start with an introduction and a biography but my thinking is that if you're interesting in what I have to say then you'll pick up those details along the way.
The title comes from a comic book moniker I enjoyed as a kid. Some tough gunnery sergeant would have a fifty caliber on his hip spitting lead, a cigar in his mouth and a determined look on his face, and the large text in the panel would scream Bukka! Bukka! Bukka! as a way of giving a voice to that machine gun.
I am not a machine gun. I am not a gunnery sergeant (although I am a veteran.) This blog is not a metaphor for me charging out of some foxhole with an angry and determined message. Instead, the idea is that this blog gives me a place to go after sweeping through the daily input I get and to jot down my own thoughts and analysis. I do, however, enjoy an occasional cigar.
Dave
