More Suicide

I read a small article yesterday about a man in Los Angeles. He and his wife had both been fired from their jobs at a hospital–supposedly one of the most secure sectors in terms of havinf a job–and rather than look for another job, or go on unemployment, he decided that it would be a [...]

Israel and Gaza back on?

So after a cease fire was called and Israel troops withdrew from their recent assault on Gaza, it looks like things are about to start back up again. I hope that they do not go as far as they did in the past few weeks, but really there is no way to tell, especially since [...]

So It’s been a While…

since I have written on the blog. Maybe a little over a week, but that is forever in this thing they call the blogosphere. There is no real reason for it either. I have not been too busy, or tired or running around taking care of things. Hell, I haven’t even been traveling (I haven’t [...]

Disappointment

On a few levels today. The first one that the Sharks lost at home to Calgary last night, in regulation. It was their first regulation loss at home in 11 months, and it is made even worse by the fact that the Flames were the ones to hand it to them. I say it is [...]

I Have a Date

Well kind of. Probably not really. I met a woman at a holiday party for the language school that I work for in early December (after my birthday but before getting mugged). We drank lots of wine and chatted a lot. Her name is Hanka, she is quite pretty, and wears glasses which is always [...]

Some Presidents to be Really Proud of

Here are a couple of videos about Presidents that we can truy be proud of. The first one is JFK. Watch the video and tell me he wasn’t one of the greatest ever.

And here is one about the nations first, and possibly greatest President ever. I never knew he invented cocaine, [...]

Maybe Obama DOES Support Terrorists

This is the only conclusion I could come to when I heard/read that he is not going to go after the war criminals/terrorists in the Bush administration. Obama has said that he wants to look forward not backward and make sure that his administration is on the right track. Well, that’s all fine and good [...]

US getting Creative in Afghanistan

Last week I read two interesting news items concerning the war in Afghanistan. The first one is that the US is going to start arming Afghan civilians so that they can help in the fight against the Taliban. We did something similar in Iraq when we armed citizens there and they formed the Awakening Councils. [...]

Bush Denied Israel?

So apparently, Bush denied an Israeli request to fly over Iraqi airspace and conduct a bombing raid against the biggest nuclear facility there. At first this seems like good news. It goes against the common thought that Bush is ready for war with Iran, and was just barley unable to make it happen. I mean, [...]

Disturbing

Stumbled upon this link on another website and it scares the hell out of me.
I do not know how much of it is true, but if it even a little bit true then we are in trouble. Already we have seen the military working alongside the California Highway Patrol, and we have seen Blackwater and [...]
