Pakistan - Just Another Place Screwed Up By the U.S.

After reading an article in the New York Times this morning, I can only sympathize with those who throw their support to Ron Paul - at least a far as foreign policy is concerned.

Greed Moves the World - But There Are Limits

As I moved through the tens of web pages I read each day, this morning I observed something that is not new, but has slowly crept into many sites. When going to many pages, mostly magazines with paper circulation, the front page has become a full page ad with a timer. Oh sure, you can […]

Attacking the Sharks

Tabloid television and news is a fact of life. There is no escape. There should, however, be certain parts of any individual’s life that remain untouched.
Such is the case with the ongoing spectacle, that should never have been, concerning Charlie Sheen and his relationship with his children. The reporters have sunk to new lows on […]
