A long post follows. It is worth your time to read-because not everything, contrary to the opinion of many conservative bloggers-can be adequately discussed in just a couple of paragraphs. The recent incident involving acknowledged reprobate and con man James O’Keefe, who –through a combination of almost criminal deception and conspiracy with other ultra conservative… Continue reading Totebaggers-to the barricades!

An un-enterprising mindset….
This post is not so lovingly dedicated to Phib’s commenter Anathema, who was the central figure in the comment fest over at his place. The veracity with which he defends the flawed decision making of our gutless Naval Leadership-compels me to write this post. Please forward to him if you wish. He needs to read… Continue reading An un-enterprising mindset….
MLK Day…..
The I-Pad is a handy thing-especially when you are waiting around to take a beating. Today is Martin Luther King’s birthday. That may be all well and good-but more important to me, it is my mother’s birthday. She would have been 93 this year. Now as far as I am concerned THAT’s reason enough for… Continue reading MLK Day…..
I’m taking it back…….
Recently, I have seen several stories on TV about how “whore” is the new ” N”-word for women. Now a long time ago I pointed out that there was only one really bad word when it comes to women. So whenever I hear someone talk about the “w” word being the equivalent of the “N” word-all… Continue reading I’m taking it back…….
Getting it wrong.
No time to post today. Jumping in the car and driving through Carmel and the Carmel Valley. But just had to note this so you know where I stand on this-NPR got it wrong on Juan Williams. His statement was not bigoted, and represents how a lot of Americans feel. Whether Muslims and worthless Arabs… Continue reading Getting it wrong.
Yet another reason…..
To hate Congress: Frustrated by continuing prostitution at “juicy bars” that cater to American troops in South Korea — and what he calls “weak” monitoring by commanders — the co-chairman of the U.S. Congressional Caucus on Human Trafficking plans to introduce legislation that would create a senior position in the Department of Defense to enforce… Continue reading Yet another reason…..
Army Navy game…….
I made a point to be in to watch the Army Navy game yesterday. It is the only time of year I root for the Naval Academy or have anything nice to say about it for that matter. It is always an impressive sight to see the Brigade of Midshipmen and the Corps of Cadets… Continue reading Army Navy game…….
Beating the wrong horse…….
I’ve been following with considerable interest, the ongoing war debate between Thomas Ricks and the service academies. It all started with this article in the Washington Post: After covering the U.S. military for nearly two decades, I’ve concluded that graduates of the service academies don’t stand out compared to other officers. Yet producing them is… Continue reading Beating the wrong horse…….
Friday stuff
Lovingly stolen from John Cole because its so true: “The best way to understand the financial crisis is to understand the meltdown at AIG. AIG is what happens when short, bald managers of otherwise boring financial bureaucracies start seeing Brad Pitt in the mirror. This is a company that built a giant fortune across more… Continue reading Friday stuff
A short note on the Oscars…
The S.O. has been engrossed in the Oscars tonight. I’m not sure why. Its not like she likes most of the movies that are being honored. She watched the Red Carpet show -from start to finish. We ate dinner quickly and since then she has been parked on the couch watching the actual show. I… Continue reading A short note on the Oscars…
