The End Of All Hope
So let me get this straight ( Read more... ) -
New Years Resolution
Actually host people on a regular basis at my apartment, and stop being such a hermit from my work friends.
Oh, and earn ratings to skydive and pilot (as opposed to Navigating) airplanes.
And buy a rental property.
And...that's it. -
Come Again???
Bush Press Secretary #4 Perino said this on Fox News last night:"I don't say this to be political, but it matters a lot what we call [the Fort Hood incident]. We had a terrorist attack on our country, and we should call it what it is...We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during Bush's term. I hope they're not looking at this ( Read more... ) -
What's Reasonable About Being "Reasonable"?
After the election in 2004, with a narrow 1 seat majority in the Senate, a mere 17 seat majority in the House, and 2% margin on their Presidential victory, Republicans triumphantly declared that they had a clear mandate from the American people. They cited that "mandate" for pushing their agenda through ( Read more... ) -
A Six Year Prenuptial
I should learn not to plan my life too far in advance, especially while the military still owns my body, mind and soul for the next six years ( Read more... ) -
I'm A Military Man, But...

Do these people even know why the Nobel Prize is awarded? From Alfred Nobel's will:"[The Peace Prize shall be award to the person who] during the preceding year ( Read more... ) -
Nobel SurPrize for Peace
It's a rare day I agree with Fox News's Chris Wallace, but let's call a spade a spade. The Nobel Committee awarding their Peace Prize to President Obama is first and foremost a repudiation of the eight years of George W Bush. It's also a manuever by Oslo to leverage Obama toward their vision of the world, a vision they obviously believe Obama ( Read more... ) -
Density
Normally, I'm pretty neutral when it comes to Maureen Dowd's NYT op-eds. But her leatest op-ed is downright dense. She insisted there was nothing wrong with what David Letterman did because "Sexual harassment entails pressuring or penalizing a staffer or making the office atmosphere hostile[, and] there’s no evidence yet that Letterman was guilty ( Read more... ) -
Michael Moore: A Hate Story
It didn't surprise me that none of the Pensacola theatres are showing Moore's film Capitalism: A Love Story the weekend it debuted. It did surprise me when I found out that none of theatres will ever show it in their theatres at all. -
My Trip Home (Abbreviated)
I have returned home from California, or what my former boss called, "the land of fruit and nuts." Two weeks is still not a long enough time home to enjoy everything I love in this state, but I packed in quite the itinerary.
- I had a family dinner celebrating my return home (extended family is still grossly dysfunctional)
- Saw Wicked at the SF ( Read more... )
