LJStrata and I had a great evening watching the return of one of the best bands of all time: Genesis. As we were entertained with powerful songs from every era of Genesis (their art spans 2 decades and numerous classic and top selling albums) I realized I have been seeing them play live on and […]

I was wondering why their was not more outrage coming from Syria, North Korea, Iran and the other usual suspects who hate America and Israel over the Israeli bombing in Syria. Turns out the US used a lot of forethought and demanded hard evidence before it would support Israel’s plan to destroy NK nuclear material […]

Bin Laden’s thugs have definitely over reached. And what surprises me is, in light of the uprising against them now spreading through Iraq (and soon elsewhere) one would think they would tone it down and stop digging their graves. But apparently the bloodlust is too much for them. Today al-Qaeda released a video of the […]

Who would have predicted in October of 2001, as the fires of the WTC raged under a mountain of rubble and debris, that we would witness Iraqis lining up for hours in the heat, standing in line for their opportunity to sign up to fight and destroy al-Qaeda. No one in their wildest dreams would […]

I knew this was coming – there are no short cuts to burning fuels and producing gases. Combustion based on oil or corn oil (to be too cute by half) are not going to be drammatically different in the final equations. And so I am not surprised that many biofuels made from plant material fermented […]

The GOP had an opportunity to fix the immigration problem twice under Bush. Once when they still ran Congress and once this year when they could redeem themselves. But no, the amnesty hypochondriacs had to start bashing everyone in the conservative coalition who disagreed with them and starting a sit-home protest to teach everyone, especially […]

Found this bit of bad news while perusing Memeorandum on the latest news stories out in the blogoshpere. It seems the nights of endless phone solicitations at home are about to come roaring back because someone in Congress did not make the registration process for not being harassed at night a permanent thing: When you […]

You would think the GOP would appreciate the fact that democracies are formed by the people being governed, not by outside egotists playing God. But it seems some of the GOP senators have been infected with the same brain-draining, ego-boosting disease that makes every liberal in Congress an expert on everything for everyone else on […]

Update: OK, assuming one needs a modicum of an IQ to go to MIT it is now argued the ‘fake bomb’ is only a bizarre fashion statement (and given the battery and what rain does to batter casings I would add “dysfunctional”). Sorry, someone who lives in Hawaii must have done a trip through airport […]

You think slandering the military and those who serve to defend this great country is only an America Leftwing thing? Sadly it is a global problem: A senior figure in the Australian Government was under pressure to resign yesterday after comparing a political opponent to a concentration camp guard. Dr Peter Phelps likened Labor Party […]
