Long stick go BOOM!

Pat Robertson blamed the Haiti earthquake on their pact with the devil.  That seemed kinda crazy to me. Danny Glover one-upped Robertson by claiming it’s because we didn’t do enough at the COP15 meetings.  You know, mother nature’s pissed and she’s not going to take it any more.  That seemed kinda crazy to me as [...]

How the cash for clunker program saves the USA?

August 5th, 2009 | 2 Comments

All I’ve heard since last week was how the woefully underfunded Cash for Clunkers program needed another $2 billion to keep it going.  This had to be done RIGHT NOW since it was such a wildly successful program.  I heard more than one analyst tell me it was a key cog to kicking the economy [...]

Castro resigns

Wow.  I sure didn’t expect to wake up to this.  My entire life, plus some, the US has been more than willing to kill, cripple, mame, or otherwise incapacitate Castro.  During the Cold War he was a thorn in the US side, and he relished that role.  Over the years other despots looked to Castro [...]

North Korea blasted U.N. sanctions Tuesday aimed at punishing the country for its atomic test, saying the measures were a declaration of war and that the nation wouldn’t yield to such pressure now that it’s a nuclear weapons power.
