The Muslims are growing rapidly around the world. They aren’t inducting the intelligentsia and wealthy, because it is so silly, but they are making converts. Black Muslims have been around in the U.S. for a long time, but others are also increasing in numbers. The question is: Can a good Muslim be a good American? […]
The usual ’catch phrase’ about Iraq is, “We are making progress.” Well, here’s the ’progress,’ as I see it. We unconstitutionally invade a nation, hang its ruler, fire everyone, allow priceless artifacts of its wonderful museum to be stolen, destroy the infrastructure, kill and destroy millions innocents, homes and businesses, cause millions to flee for […]
A two hour show on the History Channel dealt with counterfeiting. Called “Making a Buck,” it was kind of interesting…except the interminable commercials. (Best thing is to tape it and fast forward through commercials.) At any rate, counterfeiting is as old as history, and while the show didn’t mention it, before paper counterfeiting, ancient kings […]
Picture a couple of sweet little kids out to make a few bucks in summer while school is out. They decide to sell lemonade in front of their house. Mom is a big help. She furnishes the lemons, sugar, cups, a bit of change, and Dad makes the stand and does the sign. A classic […]
Cuba used to be the playground of America. During the ’Big Band Era’ there were lots of songs about a ’Weekend in Cuba’, I remember words to a lot of them. It was a fun place to go in winter. Lots of Cuban Rum, Cuban cigars, and a merry time. A quick flight of about […]
Appearance is all important to the human or animal species. Ever watch a peacock strut his stuff to impress the dour female? With the exception of humans, the males seem to be the most beautiful. That’s not the point of this however. Us humans will exert lots of energy and money to appear, often what […]
My Church sent a dozen daring souls to St. Petersburg Russia a couple of months ago to help ’plant’ a new church. They worked hard, passed out 10,000 leaflets, had public meetings, and now it seems to be working. Not going myself, I bought a large coffee table type photo book of St. Petersburg, and […]
The good news is that Gonzales has resigned, plus America has again won the Little League World Series. The bad news is that we are still mired in Iraq, the dollar presses still run night and day, bring on eventual hyper-inflation and economic chaos. Now for something completely different! I can write what I please, […]
The U.S. has 4.1% of the world’s population. Americans take over 42% of all prescription drugs taken in the world, and we have actually a shorter life expectancy than other nations. Why do we take so many drugs? Simple! Because we see on the boob tube, animated commercials featuring little foreign bodies clogging up our […]
There is a building at Ground Zero, which was so severely damaged by the falling World Trade Centers, that it was abandoned, and has been in the process of being demolished for several years now. The Deutche Bank building had a severe fire in it which killed two firefighters. It burned and burned and burned, […]
