I agree, but surely someone will be able to explain that Fisk doesn’t understand Syria or the Middle East.

Had a lot of families at my school living off of jobs like hers. With only one adult working, they often had trouble paying the rent and feeding themselves. They didn’t fly anywhere. After gasoline went shooting […]

What were those backpacks for? I’ve volunteered at some pretty big bicycle events in the past, but haven’t seen the backpacks. I’ve seen some knapsacks with water and snacks, but who would want to stand around for […]

I hadn’t thought of that, because I’m sure those socks did cost more than my cargo shorts and t-shirt. Now that you brought it up it is a pretty funny idea. Laughing is pleasant.

Surely, there is more than one ‘war criminal’ in that line up? Maybe that is what it is: a line up, and Clinton is squinting trying to see through the mirror?

Wonder who paid Tamerlan’s way to the conference(s) or just to travel to Russia? I don’t have a problem with the Mercedes. We were reading about the sub-prime auto loans last fall. The clothes are okay, because […]

I still don’t see “Where did they find the money to send troops to Jordan?”

I do recall finding Susan Landauer and Sibel Edmonds much more believable than those who threatened/questioned them. I do remember that the staff of one of the hospitals where Landauer was confined testified in […]

We might note that Lindauer did not present herself as a source of the bite of video. She did say that it was not confirmed. Mnookin’s book on vaccines looks pretty good, but I’m not sure why being employed to […]

Matthew Schofield and Erika Bolstad with McClatchy Newspapers have an article this morning asserting that IED’s are in fact common with “172 IEDs reported in the United States, according to a government count that […]

Really, his name is Nutt. He’s been a voice calling for sanity in drug laws for some years. Last year he published _Drugs Without the Hot Air: Minimising the Harms of Legal and Illegal Drugs_ which is very good […]

When I start hearing about another arch-villain who threatens our very existence, I’m inclined to suspect that our esteemed leaders have picked another distraction/target to entertain us. We do seem to have a […]

Enjoyed that. Pleasantly snarky.

The ‘limit’ is an old saw that revolutions come when there has been an improvement in what had been harsh, repressive conditions.

Yes there was.

That would be much more efficient than 6.75%

I’m pretty sure that I saw several references to rumors of some hedge funds and large depositors getting a heads up before the public announcement. I totally discount such rumors, because I cannot imagine the […]

Might be nice if we someday had a leader/politician who tried occasionally to be ‘good.’

Thank you. I was going to go look for it. I think I’ll bookmark it or something for when readers drop by.

I remember the Bradbury video fondly, but the link wasn’t working for me tonight.

I shake my head and mutter “That is the pits.”
