Looks like we've reached a tentative tax agreement. Funny thing, turned on the business news this morning, like I always do, and saw all 'green' instead of the mostly 'red' I'm used to seeing with breakfast. Wonder if there's any correlation between the two? Top that off with the news early this morning that everyone's favorite fighter for "truth and openness" is in custody in the UK, and I can

Sunset Along The Eastern Shores Of Lake Michigan Many times I have left this state in search of greener pastures. Although admittedly, not in many years.

The most profound mistake Americans make when dealing with islam is that they view it in the same light that they view every other religion. It is not a religion in the classical sense. It is much  more than just a religion. It is a religious, social, economic, and militant geo-political power cult. Until we in America began to view it in its true context, we will continue to be washed away by

I've been working on some papers on early US history and how it's widely misunderstood. The series of work covers everything from early European-Native American interactions to current day issues. It is a work in progress.If any of the few remaining readers of this little blog have any questions on US history, please let me know. While being rather dense overall, I am somewhat adept in US history

It has been recently revealed that a group of Chinese hackers were successful in their attempt at a massive infiltration of Indian computer systems.

Democratic leaders, openly voicing their dissent to sending more troops to the Afghan theater have proposed another tax to fund the effort. Liberal Representative Dave Obey (D-Wisc), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee:"If we have to pay for the health care bill, we should pay for the war as well," Obey told ABC News in an interview, "by having a war surtax."

If there's any major political shift next fall, I doubt it will because of Republican innovation. It will be because of the incredible ineptitude of the current admin. It's unfortunate, but if the Republicans can't find their center in the post-Bush era then we'll continue to have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Doesn't have to be that way.

I'm thinking about keeping a running list of things that the Uber-POTUS (!) does that I think were wise things to do. The list has been fairly small up to this point. Every so often he does one right in my eyes and I've got no problem giving credit where it's due. This is one of the great things about being an Independent.
