Merry Christmas to all in the blogosphere. It’s a light posting day for both the obvious reason that I’m spending time with family today rather than scanning the news and the less obvious but equally weighing reason that blogging on a dial-up is a drag. Here’s hoping you and your families are celebrating in happiness. [...]
Well, my young one is to bed now. Just a quick note to all to have a Merry Christmas and prayers for a better year ahead. …And to all a good night.
Greetings again from the land of the dial-up. Pardon the low level of linking in my posts this week – I don’t have the leisure of staying on-line to search for them. Perhaps I can update these entries when I get a reliable broadband link somewhere. I watched 60 Minutes last night with my in-laws [...]
Chrenkoff is on the case again with his 17th installment of news from Iraq that our mainstream media has decided we mostly don’t need to know. As always, recommended. I’m reading it as I have time and will update later.
Well, we made it to the northern tundras of Ohio and, as of Sunday afternoon, they’re living up to the name. The dry temperature was about 15 degrees F (if the old thermometer is still working right) and the wind chill made it… well, it was a damn sight colder than that. Nothing like up [...]

I have more than a few liberal friends and colleagues out here and I get along with all of them for the most part. The election this year has actually strained some of the relationships, I’m sad to say. I keep getting the impression that they’re expecting me to pull out a huge crucifix from [...]
Sgt. Hook has been on my must-read list for months, since before he deployed to Afghanistan. His reports on the ground there were an invaluable source in an area where – shall we say – you’re not hearing much from these days on the nightly news. (Amazing how that happened since the elections and President [...]
Chrenkoff comes through again with more good news. This time it’s Afghanistan where there are stories of a new democracy you’re likely not going to hear from the MSM. Yes, indeed, that Afghanistan. I’ll comment more after I’ve read it. Update: I just had to highlight this section of Chrenkoff’s post for the benefit of [...]
Damn few of us in the US really know what it’s like to live in a totalitarian country with martial law in place. Chrenkoff does. 23 years ago today, he was there.
