Another Upside of American Superficiality

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Americans love to be entertained. Well, who doesn’t? But in the US people are much more motivated to get the entertainment they want. Sometimes they encourage people to do things they would never have done otherwise.
Take Tom Daschle, for example. According to this rather vague article the former South Dakota Senator is allegedly toying with […]

No Oil for Blood!

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Here is some information that will probably ruin Bush’s day:
A disruption in Iran’s crude oil exports because of a dispute over that country’s nuclear program would affect an already tight global oil market and lead to higher petroleum prices.
Who would have thought that the cost of freedom could be so costly?

Merkel unblogged

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

My boss asked me yesterday: “So how do you think the Bush-Merkel meeting will turn out today?” I almost dropped my 4×8 wood board and stopped looking busy for a second because the big event had totally slipped my mind.

We all know it ’s coming, the Mullahs know this as well - it is just a matter of time and surprise, […]

Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me attention

Why are so many people outraged over Belafonte’s recent comments that Bush is the greatest terrorist in the world? I certainly don’t agree with him but nothing this man says could ever bother me simply because it just doesn’t have any impact.
And who still knows Harry Belafonte nowadays? He had his last hit long before […]
