Things That Stick: The Cost of War

Forgive me, as it was a long time ago, but in my 11th grade year I had, for some period of time a teacher named Mr. Souder (forgive the spelling too!). He was a way leftie, as I recall his area of research; how labor unions prevented a socialist revolution from happening in the [...]

Does This Sound Familiar?

I copy this directly from the pages of WikiPedia:

Reinforcing the relative decline in U.S. power and the dissatisfaction of Europe and Japan with the system was the continuing decline of the dollar—the foundation that had underpinned the post-1945 global trading system. The Vietnam War and the refusal of the administration of U.S. President [...]

War by Other Means — Building Complete and Balanced Capabilities for Counterinsurgency

I have an RSS feed to my desktop of newly published Rand reports. I tend to read the summaries instead of the long studies, as even a student of the world doesn’t need to know the detail invovled in 700 pages treatises on a particular subject.

The report cited in the title, War by [...]

Without Struggle, There is No Progress

6660|100Thank you Frederick Douglass for reminding me of this from the grave, as tiled into the side of a work center near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC. I walked past this building about a week ago and have been rolling around this phrase in my head since.

Then this morning I listened [...]

You Wanna GET FUCKING MAD?

WAKE UP PEOPLE! Watch Frontline

Iran, Iraq, Global Warming, Technology Gap, Drugs for Kids, Suburban Despair, Lawlessness of USA, Katrina, White House as THE SEAT OF ALL EVIL, WHO WILL WE VOTE FOR? WHAT KIND OF NATION WILL BE?

The War On Democracy

I listen to a podcast called The War on Democracy and today they were talking about this movie on Google Video. You simple must see it. Now that the election cycle is drawing near, expect more “WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!” type posts.

A quote from the man who made it:

“The film tells [...]

Terrorism Isn’t Our Biggest Threat

Our own good old American ineptitude is! All you have to do is look at how our infrastructure is crumbling around us:

Huge steam pipe bursts in Manhattan ConEd has constant power distribution issues Water pipes are over taxed Bridges are falling down

But meanwhile billions to improve some other nation we should have [...]

Can We Try To Get This Right?

Short and direct:

Fossil fuels are bad for us, bad for the fish, bad for the GWOT.

We need to reduce our dependency on them.

We also have a labor/farm/immigration issue here in the US of A.

How are these related?

Well, as we need more grains and crops to make alternative fuels, we [...]

UPDATE: Please Vote For the Status Quo

Did you hear about this one? Where a college student created a boarding pass generator that could be used to create a boarding pass whereby you could gain entry to the secure area of the terminal. Perfect! You might be thinking, wow , that is a smart kid! Oh, if only there were new [...]

Can He Please Just Shut Up?

“Gay American“, Liar, Cheat, Dirt bag, Slithering Snake, Politician, former governor. These are all titles that fit completely moral bankrupt Jim McGreevey. He has been all over the news lately with his new book and the news of NJ continuing on its mach as one of the most socially progressive states in this backward [...]
