Ok, I admit it-I snapped. When I followed the Memorandum link to Mr. Jacobson's blaming of Obama for "losing" the Middle East, I lost my temper. And with good reason too-I expect better logic and a better perspective on the history of the region-and an understanding of the peoples that lie within. Sadly, Mr Jacobson… Continue reading Why I disagree with Mr. Jacobson

It is so nice to live in a country where there is decent train service again. Thus I was spared spending 4 hours on the Autobahn driving over to Bayreuth today. Instead I could take a train-sleep and read, and then pick up a car for a 30 minute drive to the place I am… Continue reading Social comment
Taking a little detour.
And I'm back. Have been back for a couple of days-but tomorrow I am off again. Just time enough to do laundry. This time the travel is within Germany and I will be out of pocket for a couple of weeks. I do plan to post some though-and I intend to use those opportunities to… Continue reading Taking a little detour.
Who lost China?
UPDATE! Greetings Legal Insurrection readers! Comments are closed on this post. If you wish to comment you have to go here and read this first. William Jacobson is a worthless piece of shit. shrill.

Compare and contrast……..
I am back here in the Whining States of America for a short while-for personal business-before returning to the fray on the other side of the Atlantic. Coming back to the US after a prolonged period of living someplace else always provides a good opportunity to showcase the ways America is failing at some things, doing… Continue reading Compare and contrast……..

Well might as well beat the dead horse some more. About the Secret Service "scandal"-which is not a scandal really, but a minor incident that has been blown WAY OUT OF PROPOROTION. The New York Post is printing pictures of some of the girls in question-wonder how much they paid for those-and rummaging through agent's… Continue reading Be careful what you wish for……
Out and about
Been busy-and on the move. Accordingly, posting has been light. Spike has a link up to a …….wait for it…… a blow by blow description of the woman who started the whole Secret Service mess. I am not sure any woman-bubble butt or not is worth $ 800 just for one's night sexual congress-but surely the guy… Continue reading Out and about
So let me get this straight…..
The Secretary of State wants to unwind a bit swigging some beer in a Columbian hot spot. And that's OK. But a hard working member of the military or a Secret Service Agent wants to drink a few beers and slice off a nice guilt free piece of Columbian tuna-and THAT's somehow a big… Continue reading So let me get this straight…..
It sucks to be them
A rocket scientist in North Korea. Job security (and survivabilty) is probably not the best.
The Devil can quote scripture for his purpose.
Daniel Henniger, writing in the Wall Street Journal-a once great paper that has been destroyed by Rupert Murdoch-says that the Obama administration is trying to destroy Paul Ryan. Claiming that Democrats have adopted the Cold War strategy of “launch on warning” he says: With the presidential battle begun, the Obama campaign has revived the Cold… Continue reading The Devil can quote scripture for his purpose.
