Friday, August 22nd, 2008The short answer is you don’t. Why? Because you can’t.
Cop: Did you kill Joe Blow?
Suspect: No!
Cop: Prove it.
Suspect: I can’t. Besides, I shouldn’t have to prove anything! You prove that I did.
That’s more or less the situation in which Erich Scherfen of Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania finds himself. Scherfen is a Gulf War veteran, having served [...]
Rice Cartel Proposed
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Thailand has proposed a rice cartel to include themselves, India, Vietnam, and China. They are concerned with rising food prices and rising energy prices, largely controlled by another cartel, OPEC. They want to protect themselves from a price war. In other words, they want to protect their profits. Now there is nothing wrong with making [...]
Maybe 100 Years?
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Nope. 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, 2008They 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 [...]

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008In 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, 2008Get 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 [...]
Pope Benedict XVI
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Today 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, 2008It’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 [...]
Concealed Handguns and the Second Amendment
Saturday, April 12th, 2008OK, anyone who has actually read any of the few posts that I have made probably realizes that I have a bit of a left lean in my politics. If not, please read again or take my word for it. I oppose the war in Iraq. I don’t like or respect George W Bush (let [...]
Dick Cheney’s Sunglasses
Friday, April 11th, 2008OK, so everyone seems to be making a big deal about this picture. Is it a naked woman? First, the answer is probably not. Second, even if it is, who gives a flying crap?
If it was a naked woman then she would be awfully small. That reflection would appear to be something other than what [...]
