Feeling Safer Today?

A few things have been going on lately to make me realize a few things. Regardless of who wins the presidency, they'll have their work cut out for them. The world is a mess. Most of the stuff was created, caused or promoted directly by the Bush Administration.


Even though a "cease-fire" is in place, the Georgian government sees no sign of the Russian troops leaving. This is not going to end easily. It looks like they are trying to go back to the old ways of the Soviet Union and create a new Iron Curtain.

Pakistani President has resigned.

Iran says that it will help other Muslim nations launch satellites into outer space. They also announced that its warplanes have the capability to reach Israel. Looks like this is going to work out nicely as well.

Iraq's government cracking down on U.S. backed Sunni forces.

Thursday's Tastings

The conflict in Georgia is not over. Although a public "cease-fire" has been announced, Russian tanks are still pressing further into Georgia. All of this is causing this administration to re-think its relationship with Russia. Ya think??? Oh, by the way, John McCain sends his diplomats to Georgia. Somebody should tell him that he isn't President just yet.

On a related note, the United States have reached a missle deal with Poland. This is basically to protect the Polish from what's happening now to the Georgians.

Iraqi Foreign Minister says U.S. will begin troop withdraws beginning next summer.

New government projections show that whites will no longer be in the majority by 2042. The U.S. population is expected to increase from 305M people to 439M by 2050.

A pound of cyanide was found in a hotel room in Denver that was being used by a now-dead foreign national.

Julia Child, well-known for being T.V's greatest food personality, was also doing a bit of spying in her day.

Latest polls show Obama with a steady lead in the Presidential race, including an 8-point lead in Pennsylvania.

Wednesday's Musings

Wow!! The U.S. has denied Israel's request for new weapons in order to attack Iran. We say that it wouldn't be in our strategic interest. Very good. We all know that gas prices will skyrocket if Iran was attacked. They're right. This does no good for our country.

Russia continues to penetrate into Georgia, irrespective of their announced cease-fire.

About a third of U.S. homeowners are upside-down on their mortgages.

Not everyone is buying the man-made global warming nonsense.

What the heck were these guys thinking???

At least the price of milk is coming down.

Monday's Musings

A federal judge rules that Karl Rove cannot continue to disregard the subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary Committee.

Barack Obama seems to have found his flip-flops. This time he changes his mind on tapping the oil reserves. Hey, I'm all for bringing additional supply into the market. As long as the speculators don't screw us and disregard the additional supplies, it should help reduce the price. But, if we don't lasso in the speculators, this will do nothing expect help the oil companies dominate the market.

Preacher's wife shoots and kills her husband two years ago. She spends a total of 12 days in jail. Today, she assumes custody of their three girls. That's justice!!

The Rasmussen poll has John McCain ahead when considering the "leaners" who may vote in the fall. Juan Williams says that this election will boil down to "a black guy going against a white guy". The McCain camp is saying this is a battle of good vs. evil. They say Obama is the anti-Christ.

Jonathan Pollard is suing Israel because they are slow to finance his defense for his espionage conviction in the U.S.

Russia is looking to restart its relations with Cuba.
