A theme I have harped on consistently, is that the world we live in is changing. We no longer have the luxury of doing "business as usual". It is why I have so little patience with climate change deniers, or those who think that every attempt to restore balance with nature is some sort of… Continue reading Why it matters……..

Real conservative thinking…
And acknowledging an inconsistency the Tea Party needs to get its arms around. Take it away Ron Paul: As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the… Continue reading Real conservative thinking…
A belated Memorial Day post
I was in Japan on Memorial Day-and while I remembered the day in my mind-I also did little in the way of observing it. Certainly did not go to any ceremonies or the like. AFN had a bit about Memorial Services at the respective bases in Japan and ran the usual war movies. A good… Continue reading A belated Memorial Day post
Bonn
Our trip started in Bonn after we arrived in Frankfurt. We rented the car at the airport- I thought I had a BMW reserved, but when I asked them for a navigation system, it threw them for a loop. After some scrambling, we ended up with a KIA Sonata-which was a tad bit too big… Continue reading Bonn
Home
We got back last night with very few difficulties-even while passing through the zoo that is Ohare Airport on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The cat survived-but was most decidedly pissed off with us. He took it out on us by deciding that 5am would be a good time to start meowing-loudly. Throwing him off the… Continue reading Home
Mr. Will votes no.
Not that anyone will listen to him-but from a purely American interests standpoint-he may be right: U.S. forces are being increased by 21,000 to 68,000, bringing the coalition total to 110,000. About 9,000 are from Britain, where support for the war is waning. Counterinsurgency theory concerning the time and the ratio of forces required to… Continue reading Mr. Will votes no.
Another inconvenient truth
That’s an idea I have always agreed with. Hell, if I had my way, most of Africa would still be colonies. And we would be discussing outsourcing of jobs to India with the Viceroy. Since that’s not happening anytime soon, check out what we could do.
But what did they do with it?
While Michelle Malkin was on TV yesterday, whining and moaning about who moved her cheese, she-and a lot of other Americans-missed the fact that Cory Aquino passed away this weekend. Not that Malkin would care-she scarcely pays attention to the details of her ancestry-instead behaving like the assimilated American bitch woman she has morphed into.… Continue reading But what did they do with it?
Don’t let the facts get in the way of the script……..
I am convinced the political well in America is good and truly poisoned. If so, the country is in for a long down hill slide regardless of who is President. Consider the right wing monologue. In just about 75 days, the nation has slid down the road to facisim, socialism, nazisim, communism or any other… Continue reading Don’t let the facts get in the way of the script……..
