Cold Fury has an idea for election reform…

Here you go, read it
My favorite part?
“4. No retirement pay for elected officials, ever.”

Ron Paul……. no thanks!

See this is the problem with Libertarian candidates, they tend to be conspiracy types.

Jimmy Carter, how dark was the world when he was elected president?

You know I used to think of Jimmy as just some sort of lucky guy that got to be the President by some weird happenstance, and screwed up cause he should have never been there.
Well the more research I do, and the more he blabs his mouth, I have to wonder.
Lets see he is against [...]

Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict

 received an email touting a book about the Israeli / Palestinian conflict, and requesting a mention from a “Proud Friend of Israel”.
I honestly have not at this time read the book, and I have just barely skimmed the site linked here.
First blush, it seems to take a “No Holds Barred” look at this conflict and [...]

Iraqi Mayor writes a letter about the US "Occupation".

Hat tip Evil Conservative.
I have long said that we should be grateful for somethings about the War on Terror.
In my lifetime I have never been able to explain exactly why the enemy is evil, not just different, mislead, or wrong, but evil.
Well today from Tony Snow via Evil Conservative we get this letter, written by [...]

Serious post on Cheney shooting Accident.

How long is the "Hamas" fuse?

OK, Hamas is now a “legitimate” major part of the “Palestinian Government”
Some people have said for years in one way or another “The Israeli – Palestine conflict is the powder keg of the middle east”, basically it could blow that whole region the fuck up.
Well the fuse has been lit, how long till detonation?
Let’s break [...]

BB&T decides on principle over profit.

In my professional life I have to deal with BB&T as one of my customers, and honestly I do not care for the processes in which we deal with them.
But with this news from Say Uncle, I must re-evaluate my feelings.
Sure they have some hair-brained processes in the back end, but by God their upper [...]

25 years ago Today, things started getting better.

I am thirty years old; 25 years ago today I was playing with toys and being a average five year old.
But on that day, things started getting better for the United States of America.
Jimmy Carter had lost the election, after running the economy into the ground and letting Americans languish in the hands of Iranian [...]
