The Clinton campaign announced on Friday that Rick, Louis, Ben and Bill Bolaños were endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. They were named National Co-Chairs of Veterans and Military Retirees for Hillary.
The Bolaños family is the only family in the U.S. to ever have four brothers serve in the Vietnam war at the same time. In 1966, Rick Bolaños joined […]

Of all of the many reasons to support a Democrat for President of the U.S. in 2008, one of the most vital is to start to bring to a close the reckless bloodbath that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and friends opened up in Iraq. From the safety of our homes we only know the starkest […]

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 still January and yet, I am sick to death of politics.
Sadly, the primary wars are just like major car wrecks: you can’t help but stop and take a quick peek, no matter how gruesome the carnage may be.

Who needs television when you have the blogosphere?

The “what if” game: What if you were a commander in chief and were meeting with your leaders who were conducting a war on your behalf. Is there any chance that you would not ask questions like “do you have enough soldiers”?
What if, though, you pretended that you hadn’t done that? I wonder what that […]

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 […]

Wow. Another year is coming to an end.
I’m going to be ending this year in the same way that I ended last year (same what and where), with one notable exception. I’ll be working my musical magic on New Year’s Eve, just like I did last year. But, this year, SSG Dizzy will not be […]

Bush used a “pocket veto” today to reject a sweeping defense authorization bill because he disliked “a provision that would expose the Iraqi government to expensive lawsuits seeking damages from the Saddam Hussein era.”
In a statement, Bush said the legislation “would imperil billions of dollars of Iraqi assets at a crucial juncture in that nation’s […]

The age old question with the Bush Administration remains: Are these guys actually this incompetent or are they doing this shit on purpose? The weirdness seems to happen a bit more frequently with Iraq and our military but having government operations be seamless is becoming more and more of a quirk.
The Pentagon is bolstering a […]
