Epitome of Shame

May 17th, 2008 · No Comments

When the President of the United States has to go to another country to talk politics, it’s downright disgusting.  This week we saw the H.V. President of these United States of America stand before the elected Knesset-body of Israel and denounce “negotiating with terrorists and radicals.”  The President went on to claim that such efforts at […]

April 30th, 2008 · No Comments

When Do Oil Prices Become A Crisis?

April 27th, 2008 · No Comments

In America, everybody needs gas. Around the world humans pay a higher price for gas then Americans, so there’s no surprise that the Europeans, who pay the highest, aren’t very sympathetic to our plight here in the States.

Doom on Planet Earth

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Apparently there isn’t enough food to go around and about 100,000,000 (that’s 100 million) people will go into the poverty/starving category of humanity in the following months/year on top of an already 1 billion to 1.5 billion who are already in that category.  Of course that’s what the UN is telling us and they couldn’t count […]

How the British Screwed it Up Again

April 8th, 2008 · No Comments

When the British leave an area they’ve occupied they have never, in the History of the Earth, left it in any better state then when they began to occupy it.  Case in point: Basra.  Many people are blaming Prime Minister Maliki for his dumbfounded and ongoing expedition into southern Iraq; blaming him for not anticipating the recoil […]

Cops Are Not Above the Law

March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t understand the Police.  A student at Cal Poly State University wrote into the Mustang Daily (Campus Newspaper) regarding an encounter he had with campus police (who are certified police officers), and this police officer was writing up this student for a parking violation, when in fact the student was just dropping off his drunk friends (doing a good […]

Lou Dobbs & Boeing

March 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Lou Dobbs seems to have a problem with the Air Force’s recent decision in regards to the Tanker Deal.  He complains that, among other things, the U.S. should be buying American made planes rather then European made planes.
I challenge this guy (or anybody for that matter) to explain why the Air Force should choose the Boeing plane over the […]

Not.

The South American Word War

March 7th, 2008 · No Comments
