Israel is 60 years old today. Hat’s off to a great nation that has endured a lot. Oh and BTW, please spare me all the comments about the Palestinians like CNN keeps saying. They have a homeland-they just need to get their worthless Arab asses over the Jordan River.

Greetings from the Peak!
I am very much a creature of habit when I make these trips. Mostly, I do the same things over and over again when I come here-however, since its been 4-5 months between doing them, they always seem new. One of my rituals is the ride on the tram up

So much to do, there’s plenty on the farm I’ll sleep when I’m dead Saturday night I like to raise a little harm I’ll sleep when I’m dead–Warren Zevon I am sitting here in the lounge at Narita waiting to board a plane to Hong Kong, for what may be

I am out of here today for a “me” trip. I would be remiss though if I did not post at least one picture of our trip to see Okaasan(click on image to see it better): One of the S.O.’s relatives runs a Ryokan, this is what a room looks

I’d like to point all of the ardent supporters of the Iraq War to this post, by my Canadian Counterpart. Responding to a commenter-( As I am to Lex’s commenter Steve C.) In the comments, Mook makes a couple of interesting assertions that underscore both how batshit fucking crazy he

For you may surely get it. Somehow I don’t think the S.O. will conform to any of these images. She’s more of a Nancy Reagan type, “Just say no.” Sigh. I hope they have a bar within walking distance of where we live.

Or why I still will not drink the kool-aid about Iraq. Several days ago, there was a bit of a dust up over at Lex’s concerning the President’s recent news conference. Seems GWB does not like the it when reporters have the temerity to point out that Bush has been
