Posted on October 7, 2012 by Dave

The desert rats. The old jaunty Monty bagging the straggler in Rommel’s contingent in the shifting dunes. Lawrence of Arabia, that envelope pushing Orientalist and the legacy of Western firepower, destruction, albeit so solidly revealed as the path of the … Continue reading →

better hate than never

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Dave

On the one side, an interesting article, if rather generic and redundant. Its genuineness and authenticity is derived ostensibly from leaving the baloney and political correctness at the door revealing the voice of the silent majority. But it also dredges … Continue reading →

breakfast in america: pass on the second helpings

Posted on September 27, 2012 by Dave

Obama and those “new democracies.” They have to loosen up, chill out, get down and let if flow. But what about the old dogs in the area, or are they granted a free pass, a get out of jail card, … Continue reading →

robbery assault and battery

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Dave

Could you just leave Colonel Saunders alone. Extra fries with that? some slaw’? Apparently they ate all the fried chicken before torching the KFC shack in Tripoli. We all know the food sucks, but what we didn’t know was that … Continue reading →

obamarama: once upon a time in the west

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Dave

Barack Obama and the slogan for 2012: “Go Forward” well defined theme that captures the leftist messianism that seems so misguided, corrupted and dysfunctional. A messianic pursuit of secular divinity and backed by trashy rags like the New York Times, … Continue reading →

bouncing on the red lines

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Dave

One size fits all presidency. The Milquetoast Presidency. Yawning mediocrity, insidious mico-campaigns swing results in swing states and grab the electoral college votes. Ironic, how a minority president, with a campaign logo calling us to “go Forward” reaches back into … Continue reading →

They can’t drink, they can’t smoke, they can’t chase skirt or burka. They can’t do a goddam thing. Except try to make nuclear weapons. It’s hard to get a handle on Mohamad Morsi. Sort of. Obviously the U.S. thought they … Continue reading →
