WANDERINGS, with Walter Brasch
The “star” of the Olympics may not be multiple medalists but the Great Wall of China. Every TV network covering the Olympics took the world to see the Wall. It seemed as if almost every newspaper and magazine reporter also visited the Great Wall.
But, the Great Wall, which was built and rebuilt [...]

On a street in Shenandoah, Pa., deep in the heart of the anthracite coal region, six White teens took their racial hatred to a higher level. They confronted 25-year-old Luis Ramirez, an undocumented worker, and beat him to death.
At first the police chief, the mayor, and borough manager refused to believe racism was involved. Although [...]

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third [...]

It’s Monday, isn’t it?
It’s back to the “old grindstone” for many of you, but since my work doesn’t start until the week ends, today is when my “weekend” starts.
There’s a lot going on all over the place. Politicians of every stripe are amping up their campaigns to end in the culmination of their “official” party [...]

There was a time that I lumped Mitt Romney in with the also rans in the Republican Primary, because I thought that he shot himself in the foot with his “I am my own Mormon” speech. It seems to me that it was no coincidence that Huckabee started to surge right around the same time.
Now [...]

I could have gone a very long time without running across a report of a law enforcement officer containing this quote: “He said: ‘I’m the policeman of the world, and I can do what I want.’” But the rest of the story is so sad that it really breaks my heart. Or maybe it just [...]

You will have to excuse me, as I am just recently done with the watching of the “Borat” movie right now, so my snark meter is on high.
It’s snowing again in my place of blogship. That means it’s cold. It’s a good thing I was able to stock up on necessities like coffee and chocolate. [...]

I hope ya’ll will forgive me for not posting over the last couple of days. Just trying to prioritize sleep into my busy schedule since I don’t have SSG Dizzy to boss around, these days, and I am in the precarious position of doing everything by myself.

Eye opening piece in this morning’s Post regarding the next wave of “young conservatives” poised to take up the mantle of the nearly dead ideology known as conservatism.
My favorite quip comes from this young, freshly scrubbed, “go-getter” on illegal immigration.
“When [Daniel Lipian, chairman of the College Republicans at Bowling Green State University] wanted to spark [...]

I’ve been trying to make sense out of the immigration debate, as it’s currently framed, for quite a while now. And, to borrow a phrase, “it’s hard work.”
I’ve been on hand a couple of times when people I know have taken up the subject and suddenly taken on an extreme and angry demeanor. People who [...]
