My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that's not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. … Continue reading Cripple America

Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
From Obama's speech last night - Most economists almost unanimously recognize that, even if philosophically you’re — you’re wary of government intervening in the economy, when you have the kind of problem we have right now — what started on Wall Street, goes to Main Street, suddenly businesses can’t get credit, they start paring back … Continue reading Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
Russia Will Get Away With It
Russia invades Georgia, and we'll make mewing-like complaints. Russia will conquer our ally Georgia and we will do nothing useful to stop it. Georgia, once part of the Soviet Union, has become a strong ally of the US. Three quarters of their country voted to join Nato. That must gall Russia. So they weighed their … Continue reading Russia Will Get Away With It
Praying for Rain
I first saw the news yesterday that governor of Georgia was going to lead a prayer for rain.

Don't Even *Think* About Questioning Evolution
This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered. That's the wording on schoolbooks in Cobb County, Georgia. A Georgia judge today ruled that the wording must be removed because it … Continue reading Don't Even *Think* About Questioning Evolution
Brender and Eddie
I dream vividly - often the dreams fade quicky, so don't try to ask me after I get to work what I dreamed last night. And by vividly, I don't mean bright colors, I mean an entire movie. Last night's movie included a soundtrack, and I scratched out the outline of the dream when I … Continue reading Brender and Eddie
