Ten years ago, TWA Flight 800, bound for Paris, was accidentally shot down by the US Navy, who was practicing war games off of Fire Island, New York.  Over 700 people saw the rocket go up and strike the plane, which broke in two and crashed in flames into the water, killing over 200.  A […]

I am terrified at what is going on between Israel and Lebanon and Palestine.  When someone kidnaps a couple of soldiers, is this a reason to bomb TV stations and airports?  Suppose a bunch of bearded Muslims landed in say Kansas or Rhode Island or Colorado, and said “Everyone out.  We are authorized by the […]

You remember the old song, don’t you? “Foot bone connected to the ankle bone, ankle bone connected to the leg bone, leg bone connected to the thigh bone…” etc. Goes all the way to the top, or from the top down maybe. It’s been a long time since I heard that song, but the point […]

You geezers out there, you do listen to “Prairie Home Companion,” don’t you?  I mean 6PM Saturday or Sunday morning, surely gives on time to turn back the clock to good old radio days and listen to home-spun humor and great music.  Well, if you are a fan of Garrison Keeler and “Prairie Home Companion,” […]

You remember, don’t you?  Now that there is a new government, complete with Constitution, all will be well in Iraq, and Dubya’s War will prove to be effective.  All will go well, there will be democracy, peace, and prosperity…when the new government is in place.  And pigs will also fly and Niagara will stop falling […]

It was a year ago that terrorists bombed the London subway killing dozens and injuring many.  That was a real terrorist intrusion into ordinary lives.  I also believe that the first World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist act.  But the 9/11 happening, which has been attributed to terrorists, is a total fraud, and as […]

I want to wish each and every one of you the happiest Independence Day possible.  Possible, because it seems to me that things are coming to a hideous climax.  Israel is starting an all out war because of one kidnapped soldier, and has deprived thousands of electricity and water.  The Fed raised their rates again, […]

Is gold a threat? You bet, but not to you or I. Gold is a dire threat to the ’establishment’ of any nation on earth, because every one of them is printing their ’monies’ as fast as their presses can run, and this does include the euro, although their presses aren’t on full speed as […]

I have never changed my opinion about whether we should gone into (invaded) Iraq, but suppose:  just suppose the idiots in the Military hadn’t made at least one huge mistake.  What  they did was so idiotic, so inane, so stupid, that it perhaps will cost them the whole thing.  Remember, when we went in, there […]

I have never heard of a guerilla war which was won by the opposition.  Guerillas, as defined by the dictionary, are: “Any member of a small defensive force of irregular soldiers, usually volunteers, making surprise raids, esp. behind the lines of an invading  enemy army.”  Now think about pervious guerilla fighters which beat the invaders.
