An interesting irony…….

I’m on an anti useless whoreMichelle Malkin kick this week. Why? Because she epitomizes all that is wrong with both conservative blogs and criticsm of the “Main Stream Media”. As I’ll prove tomorrow and have noted elsewhere, there is no such thing, just points of view you purchase. Buy enough

Where do we get such men? – Part II

Reese dodges the noose. I think he actually is the closest American in recent years to getting the death penalty. Imagine what shock waves that might have sent around here. He’s lucky this happened in Japan and not Singapore, he probably would have gotten the rope. As it is, his

Memorial Day

For me Memorial Day was pretty much a blur changing 17 time zones and then getting home from Narita. So this post comes a day late. However I would be remiss if I did not pay recognition to the brave souls who went forth from the nation, with full expectation
