When I published my first book I decided to shoot a promo video on YouTube. That turned into a haphazard experiment in videography. Here, I strive for consistency, if incoherent. I’m in the 42nd week in a row of at least one post per day. That pays off, kind of.
Over at YouTube, the story is different. I haven’t made a video in months. The quality is substandard. I ramble. Blah, blah, blah.
Yet, and still, I just found out that my bumbling attempts to entertain on-screen have garnered over 1,000 views since I started in the Fall of 2015. For such low effort that’s a lot. Many thanks to my dedicated four or five subscribers. Will do better in the future. Promise. Fingers not crossed…

Shooting guns and my mouth…
Here, things are great but still looking to go to the next level (whatever that is).
I have over 50 drafts sitting around in need to completion. Will do better. Fingers … yeah. On the published side, I’m nearing 1,200 posts. So, overall, my resume could be updated to reflect thousands of published articles, blurbs, books, etc. How many? No idea. North of 2,000, so …. thousands.
This was another one though not very thought-provoking. Hmmm.
Christmas ties, guns, cigars, society, and the evils of gubmint…

Wow. What a day! Took the show on the road again today around 4 AM.
1) The traffic report:
I-20, I-95, I-10, I-75, all U.S. Highways, and all side roads are all in terrible shape. Every single mile is under construction, blocked with clover wrecks, and prowled by the Po-Po. Abandon all hope. Stay home.
2) “Check Engine”. On a 500-mile trip! Awesome. I did, she looked fine – if a little dusty.
3) Got into the Southern Command and discovered my auto-post selections from last night did not work. Thanks, Word Press! Now I look as drunk as the Russian with the magic nuclear moles….
All better now.
The Davidoff Effect makes everything okay!

≈ Comments Off on Computer Problems
Writing for a living means computer use, like it or not. (I really do not..).
Today we upgraded the server service at FP.com – faster and more reliable! Just as soon as the bugs are worked out… One doesn’t find the bugs until after the fact. Aggravating to say the least. The site has plowed through the rankings – doubling traffic in less than six months. There’s that.
Maybe it’s just me but the old internet seems to be running painfully slow lately. Al Gore needs to upgrade his invention.
Then there’s my little laptop. She’s closing in on a year old and maybe starting to show her age. Some of the keys stick and the mouse control ain’t what it was. Could be cigar smoke residue or pollen (early spring). Hmm.
Finally there’s the fact that the machines are getting smarter by the day, approaching the point of consciousness. Fun for all, that will be.
I’m trying to think of some solutions. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

≈ Comments Off on Yesterday I Sneezed … (this leads to a Free E-book)
More of a sneezing fit really. Big sneeze and then I felt fine. Until this morning. Only too late did I consult weather.com for the pollen count (its high).
Some years I have no allergy symptoms at all. Some years there’s a little here and there. And, then, some years it hits me all at once like a sledgehammer to the head. Guess what kind of year 2017 is. Yeah.
The good news is that I know this will be over fast. The better news is the antihistamines.
Anyway, why did I write this out. Well, I have several rants to get to. And I have several longer articles in the works. But all of that requires a clear head. That’s something I rarely have anyway and hay fever doesn’t help.
I’m not going to discard you like a used tissue (or 5). Before you go, please take a free PDF, a how-to project I wrote up a while back for Freedom Prepper, a tiny (FREE) e-book:
The original write-up from FP.
Okay, now. Where’s my Advil???

I just looked at the top media websites of December, 2016. Sadly, my little site didn’t crack the top 100.
These numbers are staggering. Congratulations to Matt Drudge on another heavy finish. MSN’s performance is partly explained by monopoly. ESPN is, of course, the premier altar of the Amerikan national religion.
I see plenty of hope and room for growth in the list. Carlos Slim’s blog placed at number nine. Very impressive.

This here is Post 1,000! Literally one thousand great reasons to visit perrinlovett.me.
Welcome back. It’s been nearly five years since I cranked out this little post. I quickly followed it up with a report on the Supreme Court’s idiotic decision on Obamacare. Almost 1,000 posts later, this week, I wrote about the pending demise of that failed law and program. Yes, I like to think I had something to do with that.
Over the years (years now) I’ve also written about:
1000churches.org
As always, there is more and better to come, here. And soon, too. Mark your calendar for June and the site’s fifth anniversary special.
For a thousand posts I give you a million thanks!
Standby! Post 1,001 is right around the corner.

Well. It’s more of an unpaid internship really. Style the title as you will; the unpaid part is certain. But I’m going to need someone in D.C. possibly as soon as next week.
Talk radio hosts and bloggers could be invited to official White House press briefings once the Trump administration takes office, under a highly irregular proposal being floated that may also remove briefings from the West Wing.
Trump’s pick for White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said on Sunday that due to “off the chart” interest in the new administration, the president-elect was considering moving briefings from the James S Brady press briefing room, which has been used by presidents to address the media since 1970, to a venue with a greater capacity.
A report published by Esquire magazine on Saturday indicated the venue could be inside the Old Executive Office Building, just west of the White House.
“I know change is difficult sometimes,” Spicer told Fox News. “But sometimes change can actually be better.”
Spicer argued the proposal would mean “you can involve more people, be more transparent, have more accessibility”. He suggested that this would mean outlets that are not traditionally part of the White House press corps would be able to ask questions during presidential press briefings.
There’s a lot of talk radio and bloggers and people that can’t fit in right now and maybe don’t have a permanency because they’re not part of the Washington elite media,” Spicer said, “but to allow them an opportunity to ask the press secretary or the president a question is a positive thing. It’s more democratic.”
Could be calling on you. Justin lane / EPA.
Yes, more democratic. More bloggers. Carlos Slim has his blog’s reps there. Why can’t I have mine? More then, here, for you, from there.
I may have to make the first few trips myself. GoFundMe page for that coming soon…
If you’re serious about this unique employment opportunity, then I’m serious about the unpaid thing. Otherwise my H.R. protocols are much like Fox News – legs and all that. Apply in the comments section below. Only independently wealthy, free/anarchist-thinking, cigar-loving, gun-toting, hot, single women between the ages of 19 and 27 will be considered. Looks and attitude count more than degree or professional pedigree. I discriminate … but do not pay… No money…

≈ Comments Off on 2016 Year In Review
Tags
As we close out 2016, here’s a look back at a few posts from the last 12 months. I’ve done nearly 600 this year alone. Some were excellent. Others were … a little less. Some I thought would be hits, flopped. Some came out of nowhere and surprised me. A little blog history:
January. Half Day Snow Day.
February. The Old Man’s Guide to the Gym.
March. Death at the Academy.
April. A Den of Vipers and Thieves.
May. FDA ASSAULTS CIGAR INDUSTRY.
June. The Battle of Orlando – connected to – My Name is I Pledge of Allegiance…
July. Death of a Facebook Friend. This might have been my highest trafficked article of the year, at least by initial views. And just something I wrote on a whim.
August. Come Out of the Churches, Thou Unclean Spirits.
September. Mapping The Real Vote.
October. The Time I Met Reagan.
November. Ohio State Terrorist Attack Highlights Need For Guns On Campus.
December. Maybe The Russians Are Not THEIR Friends.
And that should be a wrap for 2016.
Next year will be fantastic. See you then.

≈ Comments Off on November Was To Remember (And To Be Thankful)!
Tags
Well, it was bound to happen. After four months of unprecedented growth on this site and record after record, we slipped backwards ever so slightly last month.
It was the Thanksgiving week that broke the stride – and not by much. I think November 2016 was the third best month ever, close on the heels of one and two: September and October. You were busy, as I was. I can live with that.
In fact, I’ll focus on month over month and yearly growth for a second. This November was head and shoulders above last November (2015’s best month, by the way). And 2016 will see total site traffic nearly double (if not double completely) over 2015, which was previously the best year ever. I’m impressed and I as always thank you.
I extend a special “thank you” to all my friends from Facebook, and Gab, and the prepping community, as well as all the Google searchers of the world.
Next year, hopefully early, I’ll be introducing some serious changes and upgrades that will take everything to the next level and beyond.
December is generally a slower month though I’m already forecasting at least doubling last year’s numbers. And January should see post number 1,000 – maybe early February.
This little post about posts happens to be number 900.
The Simpsons /Fox.
Thank you all and good night!
