Gary "Boomer" Adams finally got healthy enough to send me a bio for the site, which I'll have up as soon as he has time to proofread what I did with it. [Update: Please check out Gary's bio here.] He also now has his own key but he's going to need a day or two to figure out TypePad before he's ready to use it. In the mean time, here's something he mailed me:

McCain is being hammered a lot lately.  As is always the case there are differences when it comes to candidates and issues.  This excellent article by Bill Bennett lays out the differences clearly and succinctly.

We in Guam are not able to cast  votes.  We therefore must rely on our friends and relatives back in the mainland to use their precious votes wisely as they see best in the interest of everybody.  This is not a time for casting a vote because of either gender or race as is the possible scenario now.  That is unless you feel that candidate can serve ALL of us well. 

We shall, all of us, never agree on everything.  We may change our minds sometimes and that is what is healthy about looking at both sides of any issue or problem and making a decision based on what is good or at least the best of choices available to us. 

There are several serious issues being debated right now.  The one issue that is most important, IMHO, would be the defense of the nation and the very real war against radical Islam (terrorists).   Lose this one and all is lost.  Think about it.

Vote as you might, but please do so smartly and with your head...not your heart.  We in Guam wish we could be right behind you in line to exercise what should also be our right.  We served to earn that right, but are unable to use it.

Findly, a site by a fellow babyboomer that is indeed conservative. Recent surveys show that babyboomers are two to one conservative over liberals but you would not know it by the blogs out there. So keep up the good work.
I also know of those who say they will not vote now that the race is between McCain and Hussain Obama. I fear our nation is lost to complacency when that sort of action takes place. One will be president!
Principle, they say. I say the fact of the principle is that if we volutarily turn this nation over to those who would relinquish it's sovereignty to terrorist by not voting, then we are the ones who have forsaken principle.
First of all vote, but vote with conservative sense.
