    Maybe 100 Years?

    Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

    Nope. It’s time to be thinking about drawing down our troop commitments overseas. We have other bases in the middle east in places where we are welcome. Places such as Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar.
    McCain is wrong about this. The Iraqis do not want us. That much is clear. Fifty or more [...]

    Should Obama and Clinton Debate… again?

    Sunday, April 27th, 2008

    They have debated 21 times or so it is claimed. I can’t say that I have counted them all but I believe that number is accurate.
    Hillary Clinton is on a very rocky ship right now. She needed a 10 point win in Pennsylvania in order to stay relevant, and she eked that out. Obama is [...]

    Colony Collapse Disorder

    Saturday, April 26th, 2008

    Heard of it? Thought not. Honey bee colonies are collapsing and dying all over the US and elsewhere. No one knows why but there are lots of theories ranging from pesticides to genetic issues to infectious causes. Feral honey bees are rare to non-existent in many areas. This is important as we need honey bees [...]

    JK Rowling Go Home!

    Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

    From the Oh Puleeze department:
    JK Rowling is using the US court system to block a small time website owner from publishing a book of Harry Potter terminology. Rowling, who has become a billionaire from Harry Potter, says it’s not about the money. Cough, bs, cough. Warner Brothers is also party to the suit in US [...]

    Do the two Democrats still left standing owe each other the VP spot?

    Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

    In his blog today, Jack Cafferty wrote:
    The race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has gotten so nasty that it’s hard to imagine the two ever teaming up on a so-called “dream ticket.” But some Democrats are holding out hope for just that.
    The New York Times reports how several high-profile Democrats, like Former New York [...]

    Pennsylvania Voters

    Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

    Get out and vote in your primary — for Barack Obama!
    I don’t love the guy. I like him. A lot. I don’t hate Hillary Clinton like so many people do.
    What I want is a clear choice in November. I do not want a choice where the biggest difference between the candidates is gender, with [...]

    Hey Video

    Saturday, April 19th, 2008

    I always enjoy watching this one. I hope you do too. Don’t worry, nothing obscene about it, just some lip syncing and silly dancing.

    Thank you Tasha.

    Pope Benedict XVI

    Saturday, April 19th, 2008

    Today is the third anniversary of the Pope’s election, and he is celebrating it in the US. He has spent a great deal of time visiting with leaders of other faiths and perhaps more importantly, with victims of childhood sexual abuse by Catholic priests. I admire that. I admire his visiting a synagogue in New [...]

    Distinguishing Germans from Nazis in World War II

    Thursday, April 17th, 2008

    It’s not a secret that I run a World War II discussion forum called World War Two Zone. It’s also not a secret that I’m a Nazi hating Jew. The Nazis did many horrible things to many people in Europe, and they almost completely wiped out European Jewry. So why do I feel it’s necessary [...]

    The Saudis Can’t Make Bread from Oil…

    Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

    … and neither can Hugo Chavez. With the exception of Russia and Canada most large oil exporting nations are importers of grain. Where does that grain come from? A large percentage comes from the country that consumes the largest per capita amount of oil, the good old USA.
    Most of the agricultural data that I will [...]
