The American Revolution Continued

True story... I've bought beer only one time in my whole life, and that was after we beat the Rams in the Superbowl and I bought a six-pack of ICB cans with the team photo on them.  I gave away five and kept one as a souvenir.  I was flying in P-3C Orions for the Navy at the time, and I carried that can in my briefcase on every flight.  One day my senior pilot saw it, and told me that I couldn't have that beer on a naval aircraft.  I told him that I had never drunk a beer in my life, but if he ever announced that we were about to crash, ditch, or bailout, I was going to slug that beer down.  So we agreed that as long as he never crashed the plane, I would never drink the beer.

That can sits unopened on my bookcase as I write this, so we never crashed.

I hear the Bengals are the team to look out for this year.  Many are projecting 12 - 4.  Of course that is 12 arrests and 4 convictions  :) !!

What's the difference between gambling and drugs?  Does the chance of someone throwing a game to cover a bet outweigh someone playing while high?  Is getting busted for gambling and changing your ways better than getting busted for drugs and saying you'll change yoru ways, only to get busted two more times?  To me, Michael Irvin is every bit the embarassment to football as Rose is to baseball. 

I object to the way the writers of L&O warp the news to fit their liberal world view storyline. If the "story is torn from the headlines" as they like to advertise, then they should stick to the real story.  Besides, the writers have the detectives frequently vilolate rights and trick the suspects into giving themselves away, yet in this episode, they objected to holding and questioning terrorists at Gitmo. There's something hypocritical here - surprise, surprise...

No, he asked me if Rush told me to say that. I asked him if Olbermann told him to ask that. And so it goes on... (besides I knew who the killer was, I just didn't feel like sharing)

He didn't make the comments, Ms. Banderas tried, and apparently was partly successful, to imply that he did, though. Alex Jones is not Ron Paul. Ron Paul had the temerity to speak on Alex's radio show instead of exclusively being interviewed by Fox News, and as with last time's Fox News interview, there was a focus on trying to tie him to his most extreme supporters one just does NOT see from Fox News with other Republican candidates.

Also, I hope everyone noticed that in the "debate" the only MD on stage wasn't allowed to talk about the only health care question, or asked about health care later, despite a decades-long successful practice in one of the most legally-treacherous professions in all of Doctordom...More antilibertarian bias? I've reported, you decide. :)

Let's agree to disagree about Saddam & the invasion, since I'd have had him killed while he was our "friend" in the '80s or '90s, as Dave Barry suggested. I think the Iraq war was planned well before 9/11, and advocated by some very powerful groups interested in Iraq's oil. I still think US wars shouldn't be for UN or oil company objectives, and instead US wars should be actually-declared, as the Constitution says. That's gone out of style, but I'm old-fashioned about some things.

Here is what Dr. Paul recently wrote about foreign policy. I like the idea of a US foreign policy based more on trade than on military force, because trade does not tend to backfire like force does. Trade has worked, during my lifetime, on a "hot" war in Vietnam a lot better than enforced-no-trade has worked during that same lifetime on Cuba. Are either paradise? No, and neither are a lot of countries. But despite Cuba's proximity, I would probably choose Vietnam first & Cuba second for a visit (assuming I could legally visit Cuba at all, as a "Cuba journalist," since I've written & been published in the past about US Cuba policy I guess I might qualify!).

Same in my City, rather than county (Florida), we have to have a permit to have a garage sale, it is $5.00. Isn't that insane? We built a wooden swingset for our kids when they were little, and yes we had to have a permit from the City. Crazy.

bigtimer,

For some reason CAIR has established itself here in the US. Over on HotAir, Robert Spencer has a lot to say about CAIR.
