One of my best friends on the planet is Joey, a Chaldean. We’ve been friends for nearly twenty years, and having worked for him and his family for ten years, I got to know quite a bit about Detroit’s Chaldean-Iraqi community. The Chaldean community is almost entirely anti-Saddam, and most of them are as warmongering [...]

* The Usual Warmongers: Jonathan Freedland in The Guardian: “Why would a hawk like Rumsfeld prefer less to more? My Washington source offers an astonishing explanation: “So they can do it again.” The logic is simple. Rumsfeld and co know that amassing an army of quarter of a million is a once-a-decade affair: 1991 and [...]

From here on out, this blog will become far better, as I recently updated to Blogger Pro and therefore can upload photos, direct photo links, etc., like I have always wanted to do.

So, this Sabotta horsefly (who the hell is he?) has decided that his little Santa Claus website is, er, uh, writing Lew Rockwell & Co. out of the “libertarian” [...]

TV Bad, War Good: Bill Buckley is interviewed by Human Events about the conservative movement. In the same paragraph, Buckley proposes that America is taking care of her responsibilities as far as the war on Iraq, but poor Americans, they have so many cultural problems because of evil TV (and I am a TV hater.)

Neocon Dreams: Courtesy of Bob Wallace, here’s a funny story by Alexander Cockburn: “It reminds me somehow of Norman Podhoretz back in the days of Camelot, who conceived a passion for Jackie Kennedy and came to believe that somehow, against all the odds, she secretly reciprocated his yearning. Eventually, at some cocktail party he cornered [...]

Assorted Ramblings: I’d tell you that the Freemasons are going “public”, but it’s a secret. Don’t tell ‘em I told ya. Now for Music: My latest and greatest CDs that are getting lots of play these days: ** Johnny Cash – American Recordings – The first in his series of (4) recordings for American Recordings, [...]

The Simpsons Mocks the 534 Clowns (excludes Ron Paul): A good, anti-Washington episode on the Simpsons tonight that totally mocked congress as being inept, assinine boobs with no purpose other than to make our lives more miserable. A prize line from the show spoken by a congressional committee chairman: “The job of this committee is [...]
