Humble Pie
>Being originally from New York City, riding the bus was nothing new to me. Or at least it should not have been, but the difference between public transportation in New York versus SoCal, is night and day. When you live in New York, riding the subway and bus is a part of life. In fact, […]
Iran Plays Scrooge
>Twas a week before Christmas and 13 days before President Obama’s year end nuclear deadline for Iran, not a creature was stirring, except for a few tanks and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces who took over an oil well in Iraq’s southern Maysan province. Iran, Iraq and the United States initially denied this […]
Afghan War
>I found the following article by our friends over at Stratfor to be very insightful regarding Obama and the Afghan War, and his speech last night. George Friedman does a great job in comparing Obama’s Afghan War to Nixon’s Vietnam War and the challenges. “This report is republished with permission of STRATFOR” www.stratfor.com Obama’s Plan […]
Universal HealthCare
>I had to refrain from throwing my cup of coffee at the television this morning, as I watched one Republican, one Independent and two democrats debate on Meet the Press with David Gregory. As a side note, I must give credit where credit is due…I was very disappointed to hear that Gregory was the permanent […]
Veteran’s Day?
>Two days before our country celebrates our Veterans, the Iranians continue to taunt President Obama, making him look like a weak leader of a once mighty nation. Perhaps the Iranians are taking notes from the North Korean leaders. After campaigning on a strong foreign policy, particularly in Afghanistan, ten months into his presidency, Obama has […]
George Washington

The War in Afghanistan
>I definitely do not envy President Obama in this current situation abroad. General Stanley McChrystal’s request for more troops in Afghanistan was a no-brainer just a few months ago. Now, with the nuclear situations in Iran and North Korea, what should have been an easy decision is anything but. While I understand President Obama’s desire […]
Nobel Socialism Prize
>I woke up Friday morning and received a marketwatch e-mail alert that read, “Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize.” My initial reaction was, “huh, really.” Of course in the heading of the e-mail it did not mention what he received it for, just that he received it. My kids were asking me “What is the Nobel […]
Viagra and North Korea
>Maybe it is just me and my own paranoia, but it looks as though the little dictator in North Korea is trying to bait President Obama into making a move. North Korea recently sentenced two United States journalists to 12 years prison, in a hard labor camp. Kim Jong Il who has been shooting off […]
M.A.S.H.
>When you turn on the news, all you hear about is how bad the economy is. Especially with GM preparing to file for bankruptcy on Monday morning. Sure, that is a pretty sad day when such an iconic American company like General Motors, has to file for bankruptcy. Sad, yes. Scary, NO! What does scare […]
