The IndyStar endorsed Hillary Clinton today: “Experience makes Clinton better choice in primary.”
The next commander in chief will take office at a time of extraordinary risk for this nation, both at home and abroad. The challenges — including those posed by a sagging economy, rising energy and food costs, the gap in health care, wars […]

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself. Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television! I can’t wait to watch them.
Oh…oh…oh…and the wardrobe malfunctions! There’s another reason to watch the Superbowl?
That’s right: The half-time show!
There’s supposed to be a game or something going on, but […]

If you want to see the Cold War as chapter behind us (and that is arguable), the Soviet conflict in Afghanistan was the last proxy war in the contest. As the new film “Charlie Wilson’s War” points out, the support for “freedom fighters” in that conflict was ultimately bipartisan in nature. Bipartisan and, in the end, never truly interested in freedom for the Afghan people. With the help of Pakistani intelligence forces and funding from Sunni extremists in the Arab world, we helped the mujahadeen bleed the Soviets pale in their own little version of Vietnam.
In some stark terms we won —the mission was accomplished. The Soviet tanks pulled out and limped home in time for the collapse of “the evil empire.” And the power vacuum left behind in Afghanistan —it would be filled by a strange mutation of those mujahadeen freedom fighters, the Taliban.

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 […]

(I do have a lot on my mind, so if you are curious, please feel free to stop by my personal blog I’m Jus’ A Lil’ Dizzy)
Oh, […]

Wow! Hillary pulled out a win in New Hampshire with Obama kinda breathing down her neck. I’m no fan of McCain’s, but I must admit to being relieved that Huckabee wasn’t “the man”, in this round. I hear Romney was jus’ a lil’ upset that his BFFs in NH didn’t make sure […]

Goodness gracious, are things heating up in New Hampshire. Voting has already been going on for hours, at this point.
Things are getting down and dirty. I hope there are plenty of hip-waders for all of us, because it is getting deep.
We’ll get into all of that, soon enough. But, let’s take a deep breath and […]

Is there anyone out there who still harbors the delusion that George Bush or most of his administration possesses the slightest shred of human integrity or the tiniest morsel of respect for the truth, for law, for the people of this country or any other?
Sorry, the question was rhetorical and asked out of personal frustration […]

In actuality Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran pose no threat to America or her interests with any form of arms capacity. What does stand as a challenge, and what is suddenly showing in rather stark light, is the frail logic of our policies. With regard to arms, with regard to the exercise of power, in the Mideast and around the world, what is being called into question in our confrontation with Iran is the generalized doctrine American exceptionalsim, “The Because We Said So” Doctrine.
Why is nuclear power a sovereign domestic concern for American politicians to discuss freely, yet something Iran must seek permission for? What empowers the U.S. to arbitrate the standing of nuclear nations, blessing for India what it would bomb in Iraq? Would America’s ally Israel submit to the same monitoring conditions for its power plants now being demanded of Iran? These questions, this is the war of ideas Iran is waging right now. And that’s one place where I worry about our own “weapons capacity.”

A cloud the size and color of night has just been lifted by the new NIE, and the one that I’m referring to is not the same one commonly being celebrated. Don’t get me wrong. The fact that there is now virtually zero chance of a U.S. direct military attack on Iranian soil is tremendously […]

Still a lot of chatter about Iran and the implications of the NIE and yet, the world still turns and every day life still goes on, as if in denial.
I have work, tonight. As my business is mostly hosting karaoke, one of my main chores is finding music that people want to sing, whether they […]

The Clinton campaign released a new ad in Iowa on Wednesday featuring Wes Clark. The Clinton camp notes in the ad, “General Clark dismisses the recent attacks against Hillary Clinton as “politics” and says he trusts her to deal with the many challenges that America faces around the world.”
“I’ve known Hillary Clinton for twenty-four years. […]
