Pen Pals

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Dear Mahmoud,
Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughtful letter. I appreciate you educating me about history, geography, democracy, military strategy, geopolitics, science, technology and eology, since these weren’t my favorite subjects in school.
I’d appreciate it if you would read my letter on TV to your 68 million citizens to help us both forge […]

Happy Ending?

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

America is sighing in relief. The port deal has been stopped. That was a close call! Dummycrats and many Republicans agreed that a crazy deal like this could potentially harm the country. And the media was outraged, too. Well, to be accurate, when the story first broke, most ‘news reporters’ were still very busy ‘investigating’ […]

Clashing Mindsets

Monday, March 6th, 2006

When I went to Germany to snatch my Little Rib away from “evil socialism”, she was excited at first. America! Land of opportunities! Land of Ben Affleck! Land of shopping 24/7!

It looks like you are going to get a serious spanking […]

What Jews have been to many Germans a few decades ago, seems to be the American President of the United States, George W. Bush, to the Germans today. He is the evil and the reason for almost everything. He is the cause for the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, he is the reason for global warming, […]

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. How’s that for a self-proclaimed blogger for American-German relations? That’s almost like Michael Moore forgetting […]

American F16’s to Southwest Asia

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

From Leon de Winter’s excellent Weblog:
An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear installations can only succeed under an American air umbrella. Today, there are signs that the US is sending air units to ‘Southwest Asia.’
We all know it ’s coming, the Mullahs know this as well - it is just a matter of time and surprise, […]
