I'm back in time to analyze the 2012 US election. Romney is a mystical believer who turns to his vices when times get tough or a celebration is in order - like Friday nights. He likes ice-cold chocolate milk and drowns peanut butter sandwiches with it. Gotta love that about his character: no booze,... Sign in to see full entry.

Of couse the biggest questions are about the power plants and economy. The power plants are post-Chernobel, and so are equipped with redundant safety measures. For those who say this is the end of nuclear power I respond, on the contrary. Here is an excerpt from an interview with an nuclear... Sign in to see full entry.

Lots to say about this week's foreign affairs news. Lybia, Yemen, Egypt, Pakistan? Old stuff. What's hot in the news, Bahrain is teetering and Saudi Arabia is issuing warnings to protestors in the street. Then on Friday night, Japan was struck by an earthquake, the big one.

By bending toward the Tea Party attitudes the new GOP has brought possible political misfortune on their own heads. I remember commenting a few months back when Tea's got themselves elected to congress, this could go bad for the GOP. Let's wait and see how these new archconservatives behave. Well,...

Yet to our elders the questions of patriotism and treason, alliance and betrayal of that era, burn for answers as persistently as... Sign in to see full entry.

I was thinking a few weeks ago how "you ain't seen nothing yet" describes this revolt cycle in the Middle East. Obama has had his tear-down-this-wall moment, referred to in his stump speeches while running for president in 2008: "...yes we can...change America and change the world..." For better or...

I hesitate to say, Hillary Clinton is the winner of the latest world crisis: Egypt. Regardless of where one appoints oneself on the political spectrum of left versus right, it becomes obvious that Hillary is ready to rule the roost. On the left, it took Obama way too long to go to Egypt (2009) and... Sign in to see full entry.

I made several changes to my personal best chili recipe. I started the pan with olive oil, cubed fresh onion, and one can of Mexican chili peppers (drained). Instead of whole, I used crushed and stewed tomatoes; in place of 93% diet lean I used Ground Ghuck. What a difference. Now I know my little... Sign in to see full entry.
