Well, silly me-I thought I was done with that proposal I worked on last month. As it turns out-not really. The government came back with what they call-requests for information. Which in essence means I have to do the whole thing all over again-by Monday. Those who know-say this is

What is good for the goose-is good for the gander.
James Webb announced his retirement from the Senate today. It is hardly surprising, and probably not unexpected. Phib and the others tend to view Webb as not having accomplished anything. They are wrong-about that and about Webb. Let’s look at what Webb did accomplish. First he got passed, something George

The new neocon meme that says the recent riots in Tunisia and Egypt are because of George W. Bush’s worthless decision to invade Iraq. Even though the events are most decidedly not interrelated. But that fact will not make any difference to William “the bloody” Kristol or that moron Krauthammer.

The S.O. and I set out on a car trip today. We just arrived at our hotel. We spent the day looking for my Grandmother’s house that was located in a very small town in southwestern Georgia. ( About 3+ hours driving from Shopping Mall). We found the house-but the

Bad news from Hong Kong courtesy of Spike. Wanchai disco Laguna will be closing. Their final night is tentatively January 9th. The building was sold and the new landlord has refused to renew their lease. The Philippines and Indonesian consulates both petitioned the new landlord to let the bar remain,

Well, DADT has been repealed. As I noted previously this was inevitable, if not now, then at sometime in the future. So can we please now tell Andrew Sullivan to STFU about it? The fact that I have to resignedly accept this development-does not mean that I like it. I

Of blogging from an I-Pad, an early Christmas present from the S.O. and myself to myself. Had this been an actual rant it would have been longer-and more accurate, because believe me-there is plenty to rant about this week. More to follow at weeks end about the tax “deal”. Also
