Jeffery Goldberg makes some great observations about how lousy Americans are about trying to blend in while traveling, all lectures to do so to the contrary: It became instantly obvious that this flight was going to carry a large number of Afghanistan-based American contractors and active-duty military personnel back home. It

Win one for the Gipper.
Ronald Reagan was a lot smarter than most of the current GOP Congressmen. The single most important question facing us tonight is: Do we reduce deficits and interest rates by raising revenue from those who are not now paying their fair share—or do we accept bigger budget deficits, higher interest

I am finally done with my Six Sigma Course. Thanks be to God! Word to the wise-if you decided to pursue a Black Belt course-be sure to allocate a decent amount of time and do not let your self get behind. No Lie! But now it is done. Beer was

It seems the spoiled children just can’t get enough attention. A group of House GOP freshmen will appear at the White House tomorrow morning with a letter demanding the president present a written plan detailing his ideas for deficit reduction. Sadly-my own douchebag of a Congressman,

Foxification-(adj) the process through which formerly respected news outlets are transformed into mediocre propaganda machines for Rupert Murdoch and his gang of cronies. Joe Nocera has a great dissection of how deep the reach of the evil Australian goes into the American news business. Fox News of course, has long

The Nobel Prize winner every conservative loves to hate ( I mean besides the President of the United States) asks the question that should be on every reasonable person’s mind: A number of commentators seem shocked at how unreasonable Republicans are being. “Has the G.O.P. gone insane?” they ask. Why,

It’s hard-because unlike what they would have you believe-facts are not relevant, and they are more than willing to attack you personally.

Sorry, its been a while since posting. Its hard to type when you are curled up in the fetal position. Today was the first day I felt semi-normal in four days. I’v either been working, working on my course, or trying to sleep. I still have not been able to get

Watching Bloomberg today has been a bit eye-opening. First of all, they are talking about the immediate sell-off that occurred when the job numbers are announced. Then they had a rash of politicians on, including Michelle Bachmann on telling me how this proves that Obama’s approach to the economy failed.

Amazing what 10+hours of sleep will do for you. I woke up today feeling better-but still went to the Dr today. I was actually going with trepidation-especially if they decided to do some test. But he didn’t do any of that-talked a long time with me about my medical history,
