- [POW Hero or AWOL Nutjob?](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/pow-hero-or-awol-nutjob/): Bronco Bomber reminds me a lot of Tony Romo.

Before YouTube, before the Vlog Brothers and […]

It’s very quiet in the house. Tammy is working on her 12th hour of sleep. I could only manage nine. Yesterday, I woke up at 2:50 AM, ten minutes before the alarm went off. (I know! Madness!)

- [Mmmm. Whiteboard Quips.](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/mmmm-whiteboard-quips/): In my database of white board quips (Yes, such I think really exists.), the source credit for this quip is simply “IT Guy.” I don’t think I know who this IT Guy is, but I like his taste. *knee slap* I am a guacamole of knowledge into which you may dip the nacho of need.

First, as usual, history is everything. […]
- [Politics and Religion](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/politics-and-religion/): Politics and religion. The two topics we’re not supposed to talk about. Why?

- [Lights Out](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/lights-out/): What would you do if the electricity in your entire state when out for months or even years? Are you prepared? 99.9% of us are not. Some people would call me a “prepper.” But what does that really mean? Some think preppers are kooks who hoard thousands of rounds of ammunition, hundreds of pounds of […]
- [WFHF: Don't You Hate It...](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/wfhf-dont-you-hate-it/): No, I know. Don’t get all up in my face. I’m not supposed to use the word “hate” unless it’s really necessary. SORRY! But, I think you’ll find you agree that you… uh… really don’t like the stuff in this Work From Home Friday video. And you will probably laugh. (At least I hope so!) […]

REALLY!](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/scariest-thing-youll-see-today-mind-controlled-robots-really/): I’m really torn about whether or not I believe this… and whether or not I want to believe it.

- [Contact Your Representative!](https://surelyyourenotserious.com/contact-your-representative/): Obamacare is no joke and it’s already forcing the Liberal world view (the culture of death) on ALL Americans. Obamacare requires that ALL Americans get health coverage and, in the same breath, it requires ALL health coverage to include infanticide… er… sorry… “birth control.” Because, you see, “birth control” sounds nice. It sounds like freedom […]
