Liquor Licenses

2008-03-01T00:15:27Z

A California Liquor License seems like it should be easy to obtain. This isn’t the case & unfortunately it’s not easy in other States either. Two friends are entering the restaurant business - one in California & one in Florida. I offered to help them with their research into obtaining a liquor license for [...]

Oprah For Vice President

2007-12-09T04:10:12Z

The most popular woman in media has thrown her full weight behind Obama, telling Iowa and the world that Barrack “is the one.” What’s amazing is that it’s been suggested that Oprah might end up as Obama’s running mate: can you imagine it! Our nation’s first black president, and along with a [...]

Fred Thompson?

2007-12-07T03:55:58Z

Oh what a stir Monday’s intelligence report has caused. Everybody wants a piece. Just for amusement, just because it sounds absurd and pathetic, here’s a darned quote from tough-as-nails-by-gad presidential contender Fred Thompson: “The administration gets to say its policies worked; the Democrats get to claim we should have eased up on Iran a [...]

More On The Iran Intelligence Report

2007-12-06T04:53:58Z

There are some pretty strong claims floating around that the U.S. Intelligence community’s statement from Monday is less than perfectly accurate, and it’s only fair to give these suggestions a little air. The chief objection is that the lines between “civilian” nuclear capacity and “military” nuclear capacity is fairly blurry, and that it really [...]

Amadinejad Sure Is Shrewd

2007-12-05T04:35:03Z

While most of the world breathes a collective sigh of relief as the specter of war with Iran recedes a little, President Amadinejad wasted no time in making what I think is a rather shocking proposal this afternoon, at a meeting of judiciary chiefs from Islamic countries. He suggested nothing less than an international [...]

IRAN IS INNOCENT

2007-12-04T04:59:17Z

Sometimes I feel like our country acts like a big, ugly chode. Especially when it comes to foreign policy, and especially when it comes to our current administration’s attitude towards foreign policy. But when one part of our government highlights this all on its own, it makes me feel better. Perhaps you [...]

Iran’s Uranium Enrichment

2007-12-03T04:47:04Z

Iran took a very important step today towards provoking economic sanctions. Saeed Jalil, Iran’s nuclear negotiator with the UN, sat down for five hours of debate today with the promise that he would bring “new initiatives” to the table: however, in the end, he categorically refused to acknowledge that Iran will ever cease [...]

Counterinsurgency Field Manual

2007-12-01T05:43:00Z

Baghdad, Baqubah, Basra and Iraq in general have by no means settled down and become peaceful. Roadside bombs are killing American soldiers, suicide bombs are massacring Iraqi civilians and police. But some progress is being made, as is evidenced by the broad truce that was declared three months ago between US forces and [...]

Truce In Baghdad Seems To Hold

2007-12-01T05:00:04Z

When additional American forces were deployed to Iraq, many of them were assigned to the impoverished neighborhood called Sadr City, where the Mahdi Army (Jaish al-Mahdi, or “JAM” in American military shorthand) has been attempting to establish itself as the decisive security force that can protect and provide for the people. JAM is a [...]

Not That Bad In France

2007-11-29T04:03:28Z

It seems that our Gallic partners in the West are not to suffer the fire and chaos that swept the nation two years ago. After only a few days of violent unrest in the Parisian suburbs — including the disturbing use of shotguns by immigrant youths on the riot police — the people there [...]

French Suburbs Rekindled

2007-11-28T04:00:31Z

On Sunday, two teenagers in an immigrant suburb called Villiers-le-Bel, about twelve miles north of Paris’ center, collided with a police car and were killed. Claims that the accident was the result of police negligence — or perhaps hostility — circulated quickly. And, within a few hours, Paris’ suburbs were once again burning. [...]

Clinton’s Tired “Experience” Tack

2007-11-21T04:59:18Z

Obama has made the claim that the time he spent living in Indonesia as a boy has given him insight into the way that people around the world think and live. This seems particularly valid, considering that Indonesia is a Muslim nation (in fact, the most populous Muslim nation in the world). Today, [...]

Obama & Clinton, On Experience

2007-11-20T04:50:32Z

Senator Clinton is really laying the “no experience” sauce on thick. During the recent Las Vegas Democratic candidate debates, she implied that none of the other candidates will have the experience to tackle the looming economic crisis (I’m acquainted with a high-power investor who insists that this crisis is not speculation, but will strike, [...]

Perforated Border - Afghanistan & Pakistan

2007-11-19T04:57:45Z

While it’s really no secret that the intense fighting engaging our troops in eastern Afghanistan at the moment is the product of an open border with Pakistan, I was just talking with a friend of mine who was over there recently and the man says it’s a lot more serious than that. I read [...]

Democrats Micromanaging the War

2007-11-18T04:59:58Z

The Democrats continue to delay in delivering the money that Bush has requested for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the intentions behind this action are perhaps commendable — to force Bush to withdraw troops from the region — I don’t believe this is a good way to go about it. In [...]

Heat On The Turkish Border

2007-11-14T04:54:20Z

Things are definitely heating up on the Turkish border with Iraq since Kurdish guerrillas killed 4 Turkish soldiers in the south of their country last week. Tens of thousands of troops are now massed on the border and the Turkish president has promised to retaliate if the United States fails to effectively quell the [...]

Oil Spill In San Francisco Bay?

2007-11-13T04:58:18Z

Oh hell. 58,000 gallons of fuel were spilled in the San Francisco Bay last week, and over 40,000 of the spill remains unaccounted for. The crew of the tanker, which crashed into the SF-Oakland bridge, will almost certainly face Federal prosecution in the coming weeks and months. Strict liability laws pretty much [...]

Pakistani Elections

2007-11-12T05:00:26Z

The elections that Musharraf has announced for the 9th of January are going to be held under the same “state of emergency” that is currently in effect, but it’s a big improvement on the apparently endless reign of the military commander. All we can hope is that his successor will be as friendly to [...]

Well, Here Goes Nothing

2007-11-09T04:49:02Z

In the ongoing Pakistan-turmoil, events are picking up speed. Musharraf’s martial law cannot hold, and even the President of the United States is not going to back him on this one (no matter how badly we need friendly alliance with the nuclear-armed Islamic nation). In a 20 minute conversation with Musharraf today, George [...]

Sarkozy’s Speech to Congress

2007-11-08T04:50:45Z

Nicolas Sarkozy is a charming man, and thank god for it. As relations with Britain cool down in the wake of Blair’s departure from office, it seems a new spirit of friendship has risen between the United States and her oldest ally, Le France. Our nation could use at least one strong friendship [...]
