Sure, you read it already in all your papers. But it is MORE fun when the front of the Arab Times screams: “Lies Led US to Iraq War” well – Duh! 935 false statements? Was that per minute??
Fascinating to hear about the economic woes in the US from here. Senator McCain proposes saving the economy by cutting corporate taxes and extending a corporate tax credit for buying equipment and research and development… Um, did that already. That has been in place since 2003. Dub-A- Huh? wants to give everybody rebate checks. DID [...]
You know, this would be a great adventure… IF IT WOULD JUST START! Last week, a holiday derailed my visa. Today – again it wasn’t ready. But it was “100% certain” tomorrow… except that suddenly everything is closed tomorrow! Why? Because President Dum-Dum arrives on his Middle East class trip. I never liked that man… [...]
As a Catholic for 47 years now (I don’t practice anymore because I got pretty good at it), a few things have bothered me over the years about how the Church heirarchy has progressed… or not. Pedophilia is one. The utter lack of joy in most of their services (no matter how many times they [...]
I hate these people. It is one thing for the right-wing suck-ups to do everything they are told by this dipshit president like good little soldiers. But WORSE is watching those spineless gobs of goo who call themselves “Democrats” piss their pants every time they are asked to stand for something. Not only would NONE [...]
I wondered how long it would take for the fabulous Iraqi government to un-bannish the American Balck Water Security force after they gunned down a bunch of people for no reason? Could it have been a whole 24 hours? When the “investigation” begins, do you think all the eye-witness reports from Iraqis being shot at [...]
Speaking as a former elected official – I once famously stood in front of a political gathering and told everyone that politics were stupid and childish. (I also announced at a Council meeting one night that I could fly. But that’s a story for another time…) And there could be no greater validation of that [...]
From the Declaration Of Independence: “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” Let me just [...]
Another softball game Monday and I had two singles, two RBI’s and a lot less pain than last week. Yea! Chris also scored his first goal in lacrosse. Yea! Okay – so I have to go deal with local government tonight. Back to the Town Council chambers, hopefully with a number of other irate citizens. [...]
After all the news yesterday, I am afraid some conversations will still lay dormant in this country. That is the gun conversation. The one neither the media or our gutless politicians want to have. So let me begin…. I have nothing against hunting or sports. They are fine. They have always existed and always will. [...]
This is NOT a political blog. Though it will be discussed from time to time as part of the world around us, it will not be an obsession. Politics blows big monkey chunks. I can prove it with a pen and paper, show my work, the theorem, the proof, etc. (thanks Bill) I have first [...]
