Yesterday I attended a memorial service for the wife of an old friend. An old friend I somehow lost touch with even though we live only 20 minutes apart from each other and work in the same field (NASA) – where we first met. It was a tough, emotional and uplifting experience. And I now […]

The saying goes “blame it on the weather”. After Katrina hit the US the man-made global warming zealots all said global warming is causing increased hurricane activity. Since Katrina the US has seen very few hurricanes (and BTW – the temperature of Earth has been roughly steady and below the latest peak in 1999). Conveniently, […]

I only saw a few snippets of it and it was terrible. Why is Hillary so obsessed with Ronald Reagan and what Obama may have about him.

I think Obama has SC all stitched up. He has massive leads in the polls there and the African American vote will go Obama.

I will be repeating myself until next Tuesday, I can tell. But the nation can get strength on national defense (a McCain plus) and moderation on Immigration (a McCain plus for electability) in Rudy Giuliani without giving up ground to the dems on a host of other issues. Robert Tracinski makes the case well today […]

I have found it harder and harder to listen to the ranting and raving from conservative talk radio over the last two years. Their mindless purity wars and incessant insults against those who do not follow them without question has made it impossible to listen for more than 5 minutes before hunting for some music […]

Found some interesting articles on Iraq I never got to post over the weekend. First is a comparison between the reality of Iraq vs. the fantasy of American politics on Iraq by Michael Gordon, who has been reporting on Iraq for the NY Times and was one of the first reporters to note the successes […]
