I just got a friendly reminder that parking is going to have to be adjusted at the Pentagon this weekend. The reason? There is a protest rally scheduled by ANSWER (“Act Now to Stop War and End Racism”). They are holding a march to the Pentagon, then a rally which will include a big “Impeach [...]
Captain America is dead. In light of the current environment, I can’t say that I am all that surprised. America has become polarized over the issue of the war in Iraq, and every symbol of America has become a fair target for either side. Steve Rogers, the civilian identity of Captain America, was apparently shot [...]
Well, he did it. The American President has announced that he wants to deploy National Guard units in southwestern American states to assist in securing the border they share with Mexico. They won’t actually shoot anyone. They won’t even actually tell anyone to go back across the border. They will be there to handle some [...]
I ran across this interesting quotation from Gustave Gilbert’s Nuremburg Diary. In this particular portion, he was interviewing Hermann Goering not long before his suicide. We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders [...]
Tax time is upon the people of America, and I have been thinking much on the topic as of late. The American Congress just elected to raise America’s debt limit to $9 Trillion. That is a substantial amount of cash, people. That equates to $1,500 US for every person alive today. At today’s rate ($590.70 [...]
Gee, I’m really glad that the Coalition Forces in Iraq were careful not to do any harm to any of the mosques. Because harming a mosque would be barbaric. Anyone that would callously destroy a place of worship violates the core beliefs of Islam, as I understand them. The recent elevated hostility between Sunni and [...]
I hope I am not letting any cats out of the bag, but this needs saying: 查寻Google 中国使用英语和您将接受不同的结果。 好运对您和为您的查寻真相。 基督对您微笑! Feel free to send me a better phrasing if your Mandrin is better than mine.
I have been a bit tight-lipped as of late, mostly because the combination of Grad School and work is a pain in the neck (and other parts). But I have been called out, so to speak, by my gracious host. The Golden Boy is eager to hear what I have to say about the American [...]
I often wondered, in my youth, at the Revelation of St. John. There are a lot of frightening images, to be sure, but that wasn’t what I wondered at. There is a lot of mystery to what John saw, but the message is simple: the Christ will return to this place, and set all things [...]
It’s time, I think, to discuss the War, and some of it’s ramifications. The first time I went to Baghdad, I had a clear reason for my participation: if the people of Iraq were going to be released from the stranglehold of the tyrant and his sons, I wanted to be a part of it. [...]
