It seems this stuff always comes in waves.

As much as I hate using Rachel Lucas’s situation as reference point, I must.

I just received some bad news tonight, my cousin, Pam, collapsed at work. She’s at the local hospital here in town, having emergency surgery of some sort.

The cause of the collapse and the type surgery are unknown at this time.

But please, keep my Cousin Pam and her husband Ben and her two children in your prayers tonight and the rest of the week.

I will update this spot, when more information is available.

Thanks…

Update: The cause is now known, it is this. She is going for surgery, she is quite scared. Please continue to pray for her and the family.

Update #2: Woke up this morning and my dad was on the phone………with Pam. She had already went through Surgery and was on the phone with my Dad. Pam’s quite the tough Lady. Anyhow, I will be up at the hospital tomorrow. I will post the results of that.

It’s Friday and yes, it’s time for me to beg for money….

I hate doing this…

But I must….

Just letting you all know, that read my Blog, that I do this full time. I do not have a full time "Day Job". I have not had one since 2005. (really!) It’s partly my fault, partly the economy here in Michigan.

So….. If you’d like to donate, the PayPal is over on the right. I am verified, so I can accept any amount of money that you wish to toss into the tip jar. Toss generously please… At this point, I’ll take what I can get… but the more, the better.

Also the ads at the top here are for some great products, might want to check them out. I support them and I do recommend you check them out.

I also have 4 different kind of Project Wonderful ad spaces on my Blog. If you would like to run your Ad’s here. You’re more than welcome. Ads start at $1.00. That’s very cheap compared to other Blogs out there.

Anyhow, there it is, my weekly tin cup rattle.

Hi Gang….

Just the weekly reminder that donations are gladly accepted. I do Blog full time, I do not have a "Day Job". I do not have a syndicated column or any kind of "Second income" or anything of that sort. This Blog and the writer, (which is me!) are entirely supported by Donations and by advertising.

To help out with the donations, click on the PayPal Button on the right. I am PayPal verified, so, you can give anywhere from $1.00 to 1 million, it will be accepted. (although, if someone did give a million bucks, I would most likely faint and poop my pants! )

Another nice to help me out is to buy advertising, A new web advertising service that I use is Project Wonderful. How does it work? Think of Project Wonderful as a "E-Bay" for Advertising. It’s an awesome system and I was quite thrilled to be able to get on with them. I also have several others as well, AdToll, Adsense and PepperJam Network. Clicking on those ads and also buying the products helps as well.

Right now, Project Wonderful ads are SUPER CHEAP! So, grab an ad and help a full time blogger out.

Anyhow, if you cannot afford it, don’t worry about it. But if you’re a regular reader and you like it here, consider helping me out!

Thanks a Bunch!

-Chuck Adkins  – Owner – Political Byline

I’ve decided that I need a break. So, no posting about Politics till tomorrow.

See you Monday!

I was nosing through my Blogs and saw an incoming link from this forum here.

Mommyplaybook.com?!?!?! What…the…frick??!?!?

The reason this makes like absolutely ZERO sense to me, is….

I’m not married. I have no children. (That I know of anyway… ) and I have zero interest in having any kids.

Oy….. The places I end up, and never leave the room. Holy hell…

Bookstore Remodeled: I finally got around to updating my bookstore… I had not done that, since I used to run my old blog. Needless to say, I cleared everything out and started over. I’ve added some titles, I got rid of quite a few. I added some Libertarian titles, and some good conservative titles.

The link to my bookstore is: http://astore.amazon.com/thepopu-20

I haven’t done any big customization of the store. But it’s up and running.

Grab a book or two, I could use the scratch!

Fundraiser and Car Update: So far, I’ve gotten two donations, totaling $55.00. Thanks to Chris Muir and Rev. Dr. Tom Knapp for their generous donations. I was amazed that I even got that. I mean, I’m not exactly the darling of the Blogosphere.  In fact, there’s people who would like to see me dead.  Click here for the back story on why it is that I am begging like a poor church mouse. Anyhow, I’ve about decided to just use the car for local driving, I mean, really local driving, and when I can afford to get another ride, just scrap out that old beater and sell the rest for scrap, I would like to see if I can something out of that transmission, as it is newly rebuilt. For now, it’ll just sit there, unless I really need to go somewhere, But I won’t be using it on the freeway, because basically, it’s a death trap. Which isn’t really a good source of confidence. But as long as I’m cool with it, I should be okay. (I hope! )

Donate, Please.: There is a PayPal button on your right, please, use it. I am verified, and I can accept any amount. I am a full time writer, yes, that is what I want to do, others are doing it, why not me? I’ve tried making it in this economic depressed area, I’ve done the physical labor thing, when I was younger, I paid my damn dues. I’m just not cut out for it anymore. Thanks to the idiot liberals, and they’re stupid identity politics, white people, like me, can’t seem to get a job anymore.   There’s many things I’d like to do, interviews of people in the area, some photo blogging, lots of things, But, it’s hard to do all this without donations. So, please, donate, if you can.

I guess that about does it!

Man….. I stayed up waaaaaaaay too late last night… So, I’m kinda off my rocker today. (no more than normal, I suppose.. )

That way too late, by the way, was 1:30 A.M… that’s pretty darned late for someone used to going to bed at 9 P.M. and being up at 4 A.M.!

Needless to say, I’m pretty sure, that I will be in the bed by 8:30-9:00 tonight…  

My Eyes are watering, and I cannot quit yawning!

Oy…. Gonna be an interesting day, no doubt.

I saw it, I loved it, and I snatched it… (Hopefully, I won’t get in trouble… )

It basically sums up what this Blog is about. White House, Washington DC Politics and all the crap related to it.

I like it, myself.

As you can see, by the new bio in the top right corner over there. I have finally just put my real name out there. I figure, eh, if people know who I am, I’m not worried. They haven’t killed me yet. So, I guess I’m fine.

So, Yeah, this is who I really am, so already know, some didn’t. Hopefully my readers stick around.

and now back to our regular programming…

Me and my Body clock have been having quite the battle. So far, I’m making headway. But it’s a struggle…

So, short posts until I get my stuff together….

Just a short note, so my readers will know what the hell is going on around here. Initially, I signed up for a crapload of ads for the Blog here. I ended up pulling them, because the banners were just too stinking huge.

Anyhow, I am going through my list of advertisers that I have available, and I’m selecting stuff, that I think would be of interest to political Blog readers. I am also looking for small, non-intrusive ads. 

I do this full time, so, clicking a link and possibly buying a product helps me out a great deal, also, I have the donation tab, if you enjoy this place and would like to help out a full time, unsigned A.K.A. unemployed writer out, feel free, I’m verified on PayPal, meaning I can accept any donation amount and trust me, any amount helps.

Believe me, when it say this, I hate begging, I don’t do it as a rule, it’s lame. I’m not some sort of a socialist idiot wanting to live on the hard earned dollars of those who are doing well for themselves. That’s liberal stupidity, I don’t believe that anyone who’s better of than me, should have to give up their money for people like me.

I look at this Blog as a business venture. I’ve ran a small business, in my day. The beautiful thing about a small business is a lack of a big overhead. I’m not Salon.com or Slate.com, it’s just me.

I would also like to bring on some other writers, that way it’s not all about me. I do not want right wingers, who are going to repeat the lines of the Republican Party. I want real world writers, people who can critically look at both parties and write articles that are not too liberal or too conservative sounding. I want right of center of guys, who aren’t sold out Republicans or Democrats, Centrists is what I prefer.

I would also like to move this Blog to WordPress or something comparable, I prefer WordPress, it’s just easier to use. I just cannot afford right to pay for hosting out my pocket. Domain’s are not cheap either, I’ve noticed they went up as well. they’re going back up to $10.00 a year now.  Again, it’s up to my readers, if they think this blog is awesome enough to justify to donating, so be it, I won’t refuse any donations.

Either way, I will continue to provide you all with the kind of real world Political Opinion, without the spin and hype, that is found on most of the other blogs in the Blogosphere. I will continue to speak my mind and say what I am feeling, without fear from others being offended or trying to paint me as something that I am not. I did this, when I had next to no readers, and I will continue to do so. I will not venture into Blog wars, I did this once and I ended up saying things that never should have been said, it caused hatred and anger and that’s just not what I am about. I try to mind my own business and if people have a problem with what I write or think, it’s on them, and I’m just not going to worry myself about it.

Anyhow, I thank all the new people stopping in here, where ever you came from, I hope that you will either bookmark the site or sign up for an RSS feed and continue to come around, comments are also welcome, I do moderate them, to keep the trolls out. But I usually always approve all the comment, unless they’re insulting, profane, or spam. Otherwise, I’ll allow them.

Again, I thank everyone for coming and I assure you, the best days are just ahead. We’re heading into the General election and I will be here Blogging all the news, all the angles, and without spin or Bias.

Let’s go, shall we?

Your Editor,

-Pat

Trying to get back on days, but to the point where I must sleep.

Back later…
