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 […]

>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
>”There is no practice more dangerous than that of borrowing money; for when money can be had in this way, repayment is seldom thought of in time, the interest becomes a loss, exertions to raise it by dent of industry cease, it comes easy and is spent freely, and many things (are) indulged in that […]
The War in Afghanistan

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 […]
100 Days
>Tonight we get to hear Barack Obama speak on his first 100 days in office. I am sure that we will hear a lot about how bad the mess is that was “inherited,” from the previous administration. And how bad things are right now, and then a lot of mumbojumbo about how we are already […]
