A traveling man is a happy man. On the road for a while to various and sundry places. Posting will be even more haphazard than it already is.

Breitbart still sucks

Charles Johnson has observed on several occasions that while the late, not so dearly departed, Andrew Breitbart was well and truly one of the United States’ biggest morons-the children who write in his stead can top it.   Sure enough, Breitbrat Ben Shapiro’s moronic attack on President Obama’s Thanksgiving address was rapidly

Better to laugh than to cry.

At least in Israel anyway-its a way to keep one's spirits up till Hamas finally gets the message that shooting missiles at Israelis is a shitty way to advance their cause. I am a daily reader of Haaretz.  ( I have also been struggling to learn Hebrew, but the less said

Finally-a miracle has happened.

Our long national nightmare is over ( at least for this election cycle). The worthless piece of human excrement know as Allen West has finally recognized the obvious, namely that he lost and will no longer be stalking the halls of Congress. I am sure MPRI would gladly take him

Swiss Miss

And we are back. After our day in Zurich-we stayed in a hotel and then got up the next morning and drove to Interlaken. Which was a great drive-albeit taxing as it went over the mountains. But then down to the lakes and we got to see some great scenery.

Friday Night in Zurich.

Got up this morning and the S.O. and I drove to Zurich. It's interesting what happens along the way. Driving down the autobahn to Singen-Porsches and Mercedes will run you down at 180KM per hour. As soon as you cross the Swiss border-everyone moves along at a much more timid
