I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that the United Nations and many other countries would rather see Iran obtain nukes than America launch a new war to prevent said nukes from becoming a reality. Continue reading ‘Iran Slowing Down on the Whole Nuclear Enrichment Thingy’

This is not the first time a liberal newspaper has misportrayed what is actually going on in Iraq, nor will this be the last. Those against the presence of our soldiers in the Middle East will continue to do or say what they think will continue to sway public opinion even more against the war on terror taking place. Continue reading ‘WaPo Iraq Reporting Conflicts With Reality’
Is it me, or does it just not make any sense to (1) release murderers into society and then (2) give them money? Well, it seems that Israel is doing just that: Israel Agrees to Release 250 Palestinian Prisoners. Continue reading ‘Israel to Release Palestinian Prisoners’
Chris Hitchens writes about Tunisia and makes it sound like a halfway decent place. Actually, it sounds like Tunisia could be the best place to live in Africa, but as always there are some caveats. Continue reading ‘Nicest Country in Africa: Tunisia’
After reading about how McCain has not done so well in the raising cash arena and having lay off a bunch of campaign workers, I was wondering if Ron Paul had more than McCain. Well, my question is answered. Paul apparently has more than McCain. Continue reading ‘Paul Has More Cash Than McCain’
Take a look at this guy in knee-length light pink shorts, knee-high socks, a striped shirt and tie and a jacket flung casually over his shoulder. I guess that’s your typical business person in Bermuda. I couldn’t really see myself wearing such an outfit, even though it would feel nice in the mucky heat of a Georgia summer. I’m not really a trend setter and I try to stay in line with the grain, not go against it, so if people started to wear these types of outfits, then I would probably tentatively follow suit (what a pun).
Newmont Mining Corporation announced today the elimination of its entire 1.85 million ounce gold hedge position. It’s now the world’s largest unhedged gold producer. In addition to the falling U.S. dollar, rising cost of oil, and over-the-counter derivatives and sub-prime fiascos, the stage seems to be set for the price of gold to sky rocket.
But today, the price of gold fell from about $656 to $646. I had foreseen that gold might fall one last time, so I had already placed trades to sell my calls at market open this morning. I made a nice profit and will now be looking to accumulate more probably next Monday or Tuesday.
I have never seen this video before, but it combines baseball and patriotism quite well. Watch Rick Monday of the 1976 Chicago Cubs save the American flag from two flag-burning idiots. I must say I feel great to be an American right now despite everything that’s going on in the world.
A Canadian cartoonist’s take on Ron Paul. I think it’s an accurate portrayal.
On July 2, 2007, President Bush granted Scooter executive clemency, thereby commuting Libby’s prison sentence and leaving him with probation and a hefty $250,000 fine.
I don’t really have any problem with Bush’s decision mainly because the whole mess behind Libby’s indictment and conviction was a non-issue to me. But I am happy for Libby and believe that Bush certainly did nothing wrong by his decision. Much worse people than Libby have received pardons and commutations from the President.  Which obviously brings me to the Clintons. Continue reading ‘The Libby Pardon’
