So far, despite repeated pessimism, the Iraqi elections are going well. Yes, there has been some violence, but we expected it. The "insurgents" are against any form of democratic process. Zarqawi has said so. Voting is scheduled to end at 9am Eastern Standard Time. So far, it looks like they had a better turnout then […]

What is the point of having a blog if you don’t go off on a rant now and then? Here is todays. Someone explain the point of stocking spring/summer clothes starting the last week in January? No, really, someone tell me. It is completely idiotic. Men have a hard enough time finding clothes other then […]

Ted Kennedy made his speech yesterday, which most have heard of. I find it amazing that a senior Democratic Senator would, 3 days before the elections in Iraq, criticize not only President Bush, but our military troops in the field.
