The other day a 3.5 magnitude earthquake..er…rocked suburban Maryland, just outside the city of Rockville. I can imagine that those affected by the tremor were shocked. Earthquakes (strong enough for humans to feel, anyway) don’t happen very often in these parts. I remember my first experience with earthquakes and, looking back, I probably felt the [...]
Today we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Our president, head of state of the nation responsible for its fall and that of the Communist governments of Eastern Europe and ultimately the USSR, will not be attending. Apparently Communism’s demise, the culmination of an existential struggle between free peoples of [...]
…is it that the Nobel Committee honors President Barack Obama with the Peace Prize the same week Obama snubs now fellow Nobel Laureate the Dalai Lama in order not to rile up the Chinese. China is the home of Hu Jia, a pro-democracy activist and was on the Nobel Peace Prize’s short list this year. [...]
The preposterous selection of Barack Obama as this year’s winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was meant to be a slap in the face to George W. Bush. America is being rewarded for repudiating John McCain and “four more years of the same” and electing Barack Obama and his kumbaya world view. Its actual effect [...]

Clinton said in an interview in India that the North Koreans are like children throwing tantrums in an [...]
I was reading an article about the part women are playing in the protests in Iran. There are vocal activists such as former President Hashemi Rasfanjani’s 46-year-old activist daughter and the wife of presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. And then, of course, there is Neda, whose death was seen by millions via the internet and [...]
That’s it? The leader of the free world speaks to Iranians who are being killed for protesting rigged election results by jackbooted theocrats? This is what he has to say? Here’s how its done by a true saint of democracy, Barack. Take note. Damn…I get a tear in my eye watching this. Especially given what’s [...]
While making his cringing address to the adoring throngs in Cairo, the Apologist In Chief pulled out several well worn canards. He said that we had fought a “war of choice” in Iraq. Again he minced that we had unacceptably sacrificed our ideals after September 11th in defense of our country. America, said the only [...]
