We burned our fingers on another Rocky Patel Sun Grown this afternoon as the mercury exceeded 55 degrees for the first time in ages here in Ohio.We are reading In The First Circle by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Fiction, he writes from Stalin's perspective about the burdens on inheriting one's predecessor's problems (P. 103-4). Lenin in his irresponsible way had muddled matters, recklessly littering

Two items in the news today: one about someone with no standards, and one with just a little bit more...First, NY Times editorial from Paul Krugman: Senator Bunning's Universe. We won't quote from it, but rather quote, in full, James Taranto's retort in his Best of the Web column:Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what the calls "the incredible gap that

41 degrees is 15 degrees warmer than the past three weeks, hence a reason to burn a Santa Damiana.

How many Mossad agents does it take to kill a terrorist? Apparently 11.Of course, Israel is denying everything. And they should. This 9-minute video shows a bunch of hotel surveillance video with only one suspicious act. At 6:52 a suspect changes his appearance in a men's room. The prosecutor is going to have to convince a judge and jury that all these travelers were part of some plot to

Airborne! Our congratulations to fellow Army Reserve Officer Scott Brown on his upset victory over Martha Coakley and the Democratic machine in yesterday's senate election in Massachusetts. Lessons Learned:It may take a few days, but Attorney General Coakley should come to the realization that turning a blind eye to an assault in her presence is the wrong choice.Ignoring a sexual assualt

So we were ignoring the brohaha in Massachusetts. Just another off-cycle election in the most liberal of states. Then Charles Schumer hits us like a dagger to the heart: Scott Brown is a tea-partier! Well, that changes everything!At risk of looking foolish 48 hours from now after either Coakley wins, or after Coakely's goons steal the election, here are a couple related videos for your

Some were shocked that the threat of terrorism man-made disaster still exists, and that they would choose a religious holiday to attack.The rest of us were shocked to learn people still want to fly to Detroit.Shoe/ankle bombers are 0 for 2 now. Is there anyone in our national security agencies that think our luck may be running out? Or, are they too busy tracking all those right-wing extremists

We are just days away from free healthcare. The site, English Russia, has a post on the horrors of Moscow traffic. Only closed-minded conservatives will connect these dots. Those who chose this path will have to figure it out somewhere along that 6-month wait for an MRI...Welcome to the new America. Welcome to Obama's America.

This bulletin board posting was photographed at Fort Benning - home to the Army's Infantry and our alma mater, The Benning School for Boys.Of course, this is in response to the Fort Hood shooting.
