Who they are running against……..

The Democratic candidates that is. Or for that matter who John McCain is running against. It is not the candidates-regardless of who wins the nomination. Nope, in either case, they have to run against the ugly baby in the room. The one you don’t mention-but whom 70% of the country

What he wishes he could have said.

I must confess I did not see the Mitt Romney dropout coming. I’m surprised Sean Hannity did not commit suicide on his show today as a result. And of course he did it at that annual gathering of the mentally deranged “conservatives” known as CPAC-the annual ritual when the uncaring and the

Hitchens makes a point…….

Pathetically misguided about Iraq he may be, but Christopher Hitchens still writes with great style and conviction. It took me a long while to finish his book, god is not great-How religion screws up everything. Took a while because I had to stop and put the book down because I

Learn something new every day…………..

On my way back to Korea, to look for a new job to finish my part of the project. Saying I am depressed is more than an understatement. However one of the reads that cheers me up every day is from the Canadian Skippy who writes a snappy blog called
