Last week we were hearing all about how Obama would be “tested” by anti-American groups if he were elected president. Biden even said it, and it was reported as a gaffe, but I think the point Biden was trying to make was that Obama would be tested, but he would stand up to whomever does the testing […]

Brief Thoughts on the 2nd Obama – McCain Debate
Published by October 8th, 2008 in Middle East, Obama, Election 2008, economy and john-mccain. 0 CommentsBarack Obama and John McCain squared off in a “town hall” style debate at Belmont University last night. The debate didn’t seem very town-hall like to me, because there was not much audience participation. I tend to think of town-hall forums to be pretty loosely controlled so that everyone there can participate. This one was […]
Last week in politics
Published by May 20th, 2008 in Politics, Humor, al Qaeda, Middle East, War and Election 2008. 0 CommentsFirst, honk if you like bumper sticker politics:
1. GWB tells Israel that Obama is going to cause the next holocaust.
2. Hard Ball host Chris Matthews challenges a loud-mouthed, flock-jock, talk(ing points) radio host and republican party line parrot to back up his words with a little substance. I swear to god I haven’t seen this […]
When it Comes to Iraq, Honesty is the Best Policy
Published by March 30th, 2008 in Middle East, Iraq and War. 0 CommentsThe ongoing fighting in Basra and Baghdad between forces of the Iraqi government under Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and the militia of the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr should explode the comfortable notion held by proponents of the occupation in Iraq that the so-called “surge” of American troops was primarily responsible for the quelling of […]
And we shall call his name Muhammad.
Unfortunately for Muhammad, Mother Nature has reduced him to water vapor and called him back to the heavens.
We shall miss him… and his hat.
Can you believe somebody stole Muhammad’s hat?

Fuel for 9/11 Conspiracists
Published by August 23rd, 2007 in al Qaeda, Middle East, Iraq and news. 0 CommentsI have been thinking about yesterday’s article in the New York Times about the company responsible for the current demolition project at the Deutsche Bank building in NYC.
First, a little background on the Deutsche Bank building. This building was originally damaged during the events of 9/11/2001 and is currently being deconstructed/demolished. Just a […]
Happy Birthday Mr. Rushdie!
Published by June 19th, 2007 in Politics, Middle East, Religion, Going to Hell and god. 0 CommentsSalman Rushdie turned 60 today. He was recently honored with knighthood for his contributions to literature.
Here’s how Muslims in Pakistan celebrated:
The Pakistan parliament yesterday called on the government to reverse the decision to award Rushdie a knighthood or face further protests from Muslim nations.
“If someone commits suicide bombing to protect the honour of the Prophet […]
My disgust with this war grows daily, but I’ve been feeling like a lot of people are feeling the same way lately. The anger isn’t just quiet indignation anymore. It’s more palpable and a lot less shunned by the media.

This Makes Sense
Published by April 24th, 2007 in Politics, Middle East, Terrorism, nuclear and neocons. 0 CommentsA confluence of technologies, from the Internet to biotechnology, is making it easier and easier for far-flung hatred to assume organized form, intersect with weapons technology and constitute unprecedently potent terrorism. This growing lethality of hatred may be the biggest long-term problem we face.
Here’s a response favored by many left-of-center and right-of-center thinkers. Address the […]
Is it the end for The Axis of Evil
Published by February 15th, 2007 in Politics, Middle East and Iraq. 0 CommentsAs we all know by now, Bush defined the Axis of Evil as Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
Iraq is in ruins thanks to U.S. military involvement. It may be in the throws of a civil war, but is definitely not worthy of membership in any Axis of Evil.
North Korea recently entered into a nuclear […]
