  • Though Bush has given several interviews to Al-Arabiya, I have never read or seen them. However, that our multi-cultural president, Obama, has reached out to inform al-Arabiya's viewers that he is NOT George Bush (hold the shoes, please and thank you) is a great jump start.

  Sun Dec 28, 2008
  • We are wealthy, healthy Americans divorced from the context of the rest of the world beyond Western Europe.  Our centrifugal lifestyles revolve mostly around money: how to get more or keep what we have.  Beyond the industrialized world, the gap between the haves and have …

• Britain recruiting gay spies

  • You know, I like and support Obama. Perhaps his sketchiness when laying out plans-rhetoric vs hard-core details is due to the fact that he isn't yet president.  So I'll cut him some slack on this.

• Olmert calls for world to stop Iran nuclear bomb

  Sun Nov 16, 2008
  • Olmert's swan call, eh? Yeah, so Iran has been busy building weapons. With Israel's attitude I can't blame them. With the present US attitude toward then, I can't blame them. The US and ally Isarel are the bullies, Iran's the little kid tired of getting beat up.

• Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) admits Obama is "Not Politically Courageous"

  • My only retort or better yet counterpoint is McCain is similarly guilty of same. The other question is why? Americans, I believe, are not ready to be roughed up with the truth. They complain and, as Senator Graham said, whine. Though Graham was lambasted for that statement he, in essence, is correct.

  Thu Oct 23, 2008
  • I read an article about the mountain border regions, Waziristan and Baluchistan in particular. It contained an item of similar gruesomeness as that of beheading.

• Palin takes prank call from fake French president

  • Sarkozy? Oh, yeah, hiya. Wuzzup? Well, gosh darn it, thanks for calling. How's Carla? I saw her the other day. Yeah. In Russian Vogue. Mmmm, I was getting my nails done. You're not Russian? Well, then, whacha doin with a name like that? Oooo, merde.

  • Hey, what happens if the incident comes the day after the elections?! Does the Supreme Court invalidate the election and nominate McMettle to lead us? Dire Consequences(DCs) are a daily occurence. Sometimes we dodge those DCs. But, hell, when we take a hit, we're always surprised.
