Senator-for-Life
I knew it would happen some day. Robert C. Byrd has died at 92. He eased poverty in West Virginia by redistributing billions of taxpayer dollars to his state ( Read more... ) -
Failure for everyone, oui?
This is by far a very amusing and very sad story. Now, seventy years ago, the elusive Charles De Gaulle made his famous appeal of June 18 to resist German occupation.
Now, one group has a celebration, but they use sausage and wine in a predominately Muslim neighborhood, and the French Government bans it. Now, where do we begin with the failings ( Read more... ) -
Bad Timing or Risky Investment
I served in Iraq and I want to see Iraq succeed globally, but can we afford to do this, right now?Well, maybe this is an investment and may help revive Baghdad U. The issue we may be in a double-dip recession and money is tight. Debt is piling pretty high for College loans. Thank you for working at Loyola, mother,and thank God I am an honorably ( Read more... ) -

Alvin!!!
In South Carolina, a career politician was defeated by a neophyte. Now, I feel bad for Alvin Greene. Keith Olbermann gave him an interview and he performed poorly, then Keith-O mentions that Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)

Vincent Morgan is working on getting petitions for the Democratic primary. He's more liberal than I am, but seems solid and has a vision for the future, plus he works for TD Bank, which is my ( Read more... ) -
I can't believe I'm doing this....
Now, I am not in the 15th Congressional District of NY, but of all things, I am endorsing Charles Rangel. While I think he's crooked, and probably shadier than Bill Jefferson, his opponent is this Wackadoodle neo-Communist.

Flotilla thoughts
It has now been almost a week, since the IDF intercepted a flotilla of ships planning to ram the embargo on Gaza. While I am a definite Zionist, I do not believe in solidarity and will not blindly side with Israel, but I did wish to get all the facts in. So far, Israel's only sin is sending in their Commandos on the ship when it was still in ( Read more... )
