NFL Parody on Obama Parity. Another Weapon of Mass Distortion (0)
This posting is about another funny email from a friend. It’s funny because it’s so off-base and factually wrong. For me, slashing through this posting is like a 99-yard run to the end zone without being touched by one tackler.

Economic Timing Of Politicians Way Off (0)
Paul Solman, the economics reporter for PBS’ The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, had a great story tonight on The Paradox of Thrift. It’s worth watching. The gist of the story: the more we save, the worse the economy gets. What we need, it seems today, is George Bush’s advice after 9/11: Go out and shop. Ironically, the [...]

The Drone War in Pakistan (0)
There is a great piece in the New York Times editorial section co-written by David Kilcullen on the negative effect of the attacks by American UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Kilcullen’s theories were instrumental with the surge in Iraq. More importantly, he speaks with great knowledge and research. It’s ironic that Kilcullen calls for a stoppage of [...]
