Appliance Repair Revelation: Fisher & Paykel DC Drive Washing Machine
Saturday, October 30th, 2004These washers have been out for a few years and I’m starting to see more of them in the field. They are extremely reliable machines. Although they’re designed for residential use, I’ve seen them used in commercial applications, sustaining daily, continuous use for several years. This is a top loading machine, […]

[Read more...]Most People are Libertarians…And Don’t Even Know It!
Thursday, October 28th, 2004Not exactly a conservative? Not precisely a liberal? Not quite sure at all? What do those labels mean, anyway? Most people have the nagging feeling that this left-right, liberal-conservative pap that Big Media smears us with every day is far too narrow a view. The fact is that these labels […]

One thing you might mention in your incredibly helpful guide to the Maytag
Dryer belt is that the evil geniuses at Maytag made a grove in the drum very close
to where the belt is supposed to run. If(make that when) the belt falls into
that groove while replacing the belt or idler wheel, when you […]
If You’re a Dumbass, Please Don’t Vote!
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004I don’t understand all these bleeting appeals to get out and vote. Could someone please answer this question for me: if people are ignorant about the pressing issues of the day, the principles of individual liberty upon which this nation was founded, or the basic structure and function of our government, then why […]
[Read more...]Toll-Free Appliance Repair Hotline Update
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004Due to time constraints, I’ve been unable to return calls on the Toll-Free Appliance Repair Hotline for the past several days. Consequently, so many messages had piled up that there was no way I was going to be able to return them. So I had to delete them and start fresh. Hey, […]

Monday, October 25th, 2004Appliance Repair Revelation: Fisher & Paykel DD602 Dishdrawer: F1 code
Monday, October 25th, 2004I had the opportunity to work on a Fisher & Paykel DD602 dishdrawer a couple days ago. By the way, I’m a big fan of Fisher & Paykel equipment–if you ever have the opportunity to work on one, you’ll see why. The engineering is elegant in its simplicity. Well-engineered equipment is actually […]
[Read more...]Eeyore and Mrs. Samurai
Saturday, October 23rd, 2004Mrs. Samurai recently found out that a very nice friend was planning to vote
for John Kerry. When asked “My heavens, why?!”, this friend, whom we will call
Eeyore, responded with her concerns (to put it mildly) about the Republican
party. Mrs. Samurai responded to these concerns in the hopes of opening Eeyore’s
eyes to the truth of the […]

Pro-Life Movement: Not Just for Religious Nuts Anymore!
Friday, October 22nd, 2004I just submitted this letter to my local newspaper. It succinctly explains the often-overlooked scientific arguments that support the pro-life position. If you like this letter, feel free to use as much of it as you want in your own letter to your local rag.

Dear Editor:
Let me first state that I support neither Kerry […]

[Read more...]Orwellian Leftist Term of the Day: Social Justice, Man
Friday, October 22nd, 2004One of the intellectually-bankrupt Left’s favorite terms to throw around is Social Justice. What Leftists (i.e., communists, socialists, and fascists) really mean by this lofty term is, “I’ll use government force to steal the fruits of your labor (usually money via taxation) that you’ve honestly earned through your own work and creativity and give […]
