Divorcing W

I am a republican however I hate George W. Bush. This man is an inept bungler who has destroyed everything we once held dear. Frankly I am happy to see him go. I am even in favor of trying him Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney for war crimes relating to the Iraq War after they have left office. After all I have a conscience and heart and I have to answer to both.

To Lost Love

When I was in middle school someone exceptional loved me. Her name is Nora Martin. She is both kind, sweet and hyper talented. I could not fathom although I adored her, that someone that good at the core loved me. It was not minor affection it was major love. Nora felt it for me from almost our first meeting. I saw the way her face lit up. What broke my heart was that I was sent to high school in the big city. I could not spend time and get to know this exceptional human being. It was an out and out tragedy. Love is the most important and necessary of all human emotions. We are born helpless so without it we cannot literally survive. Where ever you are Ms. Martin I wish you only two things happiness and success.

Blugoyavitch is in Prison

Illinios Governor Rod Blogyavitch is in Prison right now. As a state Illinios has a notriously corrupt body politic. In 1960 Richard M. Daly then mayor of Chicago fixed the election so that John Kennedey would become President. Without Cook County Kennedey is not president. In democracy we cannot afford to have the perception that corruption is the norm. Democracy would cease to function under such conditions. I have to ask what took the government so long to nail Blugoyavitch? This blogger was talking about it for six months prior. If President Obama pardons Blugoyavitch I will be deeply dissappointed in him. Personally I hope that Blugoyavitch is sentenced to twenty five years in prison. For once the Republican Party can turn the tables on the Democrats. The democrats even when they screw up badly never get the systematic negative attention that Republicans get naturally. One day I hope that changes. Goodbye Blugoyavitch and good riddens.

Indian Diapers Just Suck

I am incontinent so I have to wear a diaper. Back in America they have most excellent diapers. The best kind is easily Serenity by Tena. It is the most comfortable and it always fits. The problem with Indian Adult diapers is they do not fit well, I am to large for the medium but to small for the large. It is a constant problem considering I am about a size 48 Inches. In addition to that Indian diapers are notoriously poor quality. The construction material is shoddy and they tend to sag and disentigrate. It is a real problem. They should start selling Tena Serenity in this country in a big way.

A Little More Wisdom if you Please

Lately I have joined an organization called New Acropolis. They are a group started in Argentina in the 1950's. There aim is to train people in the philosophies of the east and the west. I dig stuff like this as I have taken philosophy courses at the secondary and post secondary levels. By the end of the process I hope to have a little more wisdom and a little less knowledge. The difference is that knowledge is merely information, wisdom is what to do with knowledge.

Vikram Seth is Darned Good!

Recently I have been reading Vikram Seth's first published novel "The Golden Gate". Seth is a remarkably excellent Raconteour of the first order.

days of the Urban Jihad

The events of the past week have got this blogger thinking about the future of the world's security situation. We are in the midst of a new urban Jihadist movement. The tip of which we saw in Mumbai in late November of this year. This is likely to replicate itself in other locals around the world. It makes for some troubled times yet ahead.

This blog is dedicated to the memory of the seventy eight people that have died in todays early morning terrorist attacks in Mumbai India on the date of 11-26-08.

Our recent spate of trouble is not over yet

Things may be rough however I have got a feeling that the situation will improve. We should not bail out the Detroit auto makers because it would send a bad message that mismanagement is to be rewarded. The democrats favor that idea however I do not. Government Subsidies are a European Solution to an economic problem. They should not become an American policy goal. That is all for now.

political suicide with Pahlin

John Mccain committed political suicide when he got Sarah Pahlin to be his vice president. She was utterly unqualified to be president. He should have gone with Louisiana Governor Bobby Gindall.

Unfortunately for this blogger even idiots are dangerous. Basically there are a lot of knuckleheads out there who live to cause problems for petty feelings of superiority.

The Gilded Age a term coined by Mark Twain was a period in US History in the 1880's in which government served only the interests of the rich.

A Bad Start But a Strong Finish

I spent four years in community college back in California. My first year in Community College was largely wasted. Foothill Community College in Los Altos California was largely a waste of time.

Why I Study History

I am a history major and once someone I knew asked me why do you study history? My answer was because it has so many useful applications. Two of these areas include Business and Politics. There are many famous and successful history majors including eight American Presidents, businessman Steve Wynn, and two other famous history majors include NFL Quarterback Joe Namath and Baseball Commissioner Bud Seilig. What these people all have in common is the fact that they value knowledge of the past and how it can shape our future. I happen to think along similar lines.

Nancy Pelosi is Incompetent

If commentators say that John McCain has egg on his face over the failed bank bailout. Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must have a three cheese omelete on her face right about now. I oppose the bank bailout. So should Speaker Pelosi. As speaker of the house she should have put her foot down and said no dice. However she was held political hostage by a group of greedy people. This should be seen as a monumental failure of judgment on her part considering that in 2007 she pledged that it would not be government as usual.

Experience Matters

Once again the left is bashing Sarah Pahlin. They say she is inexperienced. However this same crowd all of which support Obama are hypocrits. They say if you support our world view you can have the least amount of experience. In all practical terms Obama has less political experience than Pahlin. So why is it that the left does not like Pahlin. The answer is they do not like her politics so they are attacking her as a person. I know Sarah Pahlin isn't perfect however do you think Obama really is?

Men and Emotion

As a gender we males have this toughness ethos. I know as I am man. However sometimes there is a distinct advantage to being able to express your emotions. Women do this more easily then men it comes more naturally to them. So I propose that we men adopt a flexibility mentality. When the situation warrants it we can be strong as an ox. However when the situation also presents itself we can also express our inner feelings more readily. There is a distinct advantage to doing this especially when dealing with members of the opposite sex.

Mean People Deserve Nothing

Hey folks Seraph here with a moral message for you. Don't be be mean, nasty, arrogant or pointlessly rude. These traits will not serve you well. I had a room mate some time in the past who was pointlessly mean and arrogant. I maintain the fact that this chap has no real friends. He does not care about anyone other than himself in the core. You see to survive as a race we need to care about other people. You shouldn't care to much but you should also possess a certain degree of necessary empathy. This guy had none. So if you meet the characteristics of the person I am describing you deserve to be successful at nothing.

In Defense of John McCain

John McCain is not perfect I know that, however he is a darn site improvement over Barack Obama in terms of leadership ability. Take for example the candidates positions on the crisis in Georgia over the summer. John McCain came out with a condemnation of Russia's heavy handed actions. He said that the new Russia is acting more like the old Soviet Union. Contrast that with Barack Obama who said that the UN should handle the crisis. Does Senator Obama know that Russia wields veto power over the UN security council as a permanent member? What game is this guy playing? If Barack Obama is elected President, democracy in non US locals like eastern Europe and the Caucasus will dissappear. That would be a tragedy. For that reason alone we should elect McCain.

the nature of liberty

Liberty is in short the most important right on earth. For whatever reason there are governments that restrict, limit or deny liberty. Those governments are inevitably doomed to failure politically. Societies that do not cherish individual liberty end up on the Ash heap of History. Such was the case with Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Both of those societies denied liberty and you all know what happened to them. Let this be a message to all of you dictators, demagogues, terrorists and goons out their.

An appreciation for my family

Over the summer I worked at shelter for homeless teens. It was there that I came to a subtle epiphany. These kids didn't have the benefit of good families. That was the only real difference between them and me. It took me a long time to appreciate the way I was raised by my parents. My parents loved me with unconditional love and worked in my best interests even if I did not see it that way. That is why today I thanked both of my parents for raising me the right way.

The Effects of Anarchy

A friend of mine asked me what happens when a society becomes lawless on a mass scale. My answer to him was that usually one of two scenarios occur. The first scenario is that an autocratic entity such as a dictator or a junta rises to power to fill the vaccuum. The other scenario is that it degenerates into civil war. Either way the consequences of anarchy on a mass scale are not good and should be avoided. To much governmental authorities is bad thing. However it is also true that the reverse is also the case. Societies cannot function correctly if chaos reigns.

Liberal Myths about Conservatives

The liberals advance as series of pernicious and fallacious claims about conservatives. My English teacher said that the more educated you get the more liberal you tend to be. In my case however I find the opposite is true. The more and more I see of liberalism the less and less that ideology appeals to me. To pidgeon all conservatives as a bunch of brutish narrow minded war hawks is incorrect. At the same time there are a lot of stupid liberals. Michael Savage the radio talk show host and author is an independent minded conservative and has three university degrees including a Phd. The list goes on. No one side has a monopoly on intelligence and or stupidity. The advance that claim is to be an ideological chauvenist to say the least.

When Deomcarcies Fail

Democracies are made and broken by institutions. When institutions work they act as a check when they don't work they act as an enabler. Take for example the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1930's. In 1933 Hitler and the Nazis staged an unsuccessful revolt in Munich. If Hitler had been taken out then world war two would not have been as devastating a conflict as it was. That was a case of a democracy failing to act in its own best interest.

the difference between Government and Society

Intellectual revolutionary Thomas Paine who lived in the late seventeeth century wrote an interesting comment in his book Common Sense. He said that government and society are two distinctly different entities with different origins and purposes.

Left wing liberal feminists are attacking Palin. We have to remember that this was the crew that was cheering Hilary Clinton as she was making her presidential run. The feminists have long maintained that women can have careers and have families. So why are they taking umbridge with Palin. The sheer amount of hatred and vitriol this people are espousing is stunning. These liberal hypocrits are phoney. They are engaging in reducto ad homini politics by saying that Palin is unfit to be both a mother and a Vice President. What these phoney liberal feminists are saying is that if we do not like your politics we will attack you as a person. That to me is really low. Call a spade a spade. You do not like her politics so you despise her as a person. That is why I will not vote democrat in the fall. I do not see myself as a hypocrit as these people are.

the Biden Connection

Barack Obama made a bad choice in Delaware Senator Joe Biden as his running mate. First of all this completely undercuts everything that Obama has marketed himself as. Obama is the outsider in a world of insiders. Biden on the other hand is an insider's insider. He is also an anti capitalist and anti democrat. Every chance he has he votes against capitalism and democracy. Here are two examples in the late 1960's Biden voted against funding for the republic of South Vietnam. After the fall of Saigon the Hanoi government launched a massacre of south sympathizers and supporties. Thousands were killed. Again in the late 1970s Biden votes against funding the Contras in Nicaragua and their fight against the Sadanistas. Biden is the anthesis of everything that Obama said he was. It undercuts Obama's position as an agent of change. This mans true colorsd is something to think about when you vote in November.

Its really true if John McCain's middle name were Jesus if he were John Jesus McCain that would certainly be an issue to the liberals. They would throw a hissy fit. If Obama wants to be president his middle name should be fair game for political discussion.

The Oil Profit Illusion

Sure oil companies are making money, however politicians particularly liberal ones are making it an issue. Heres a fact for you in the fiscal quarter that ended in July Exxon Mobil made 9.32 percent rate of return for its investors. Conversely AOL Time Warner gave back 15.63 percent rate of return for its investors. Is their profit out of line I don't think so. What oil stocks are is extremely stable investments financially. They are a favorite of institutional investors such as retirement funds. An example of a major investor in Exxon Mobil would be the Pennsylvania State Teachers Retirement Fund and so forth. So Barack Obama and Congresswoman Maxine Waters of Los Angeles talk about annexing the profits of big oil it smacks of demagoguery and politics of the lowest common denominator. To annex oil profits through tax or otherwise strikes me as acutely myopic and Stupid. It is a short term solution to a long term problem. If congress really wanted to do something about high oil prices they should mandate higher gas mileage for new cars. New Cars should get sixty to eighty miles a gallon. That would do more to address the problem than would short term annexation of oil money. Those are my thoughts for the day.

Identity and Allegiance

the ideas of identity and allegiance are two of the most complex concepts wer humans will have to undertak and understand in our life times. Take for example General Robert E. Lee. Trained at west point he was offered supreme command of the union army by President Abraham Lincoln. Lee's loyalties however proved to be sectional and he decided to fight for the south. If he had accepted the union's offer the civil war would have ended three years early. These concepts of loyalty, identity and allegiance are awfully complex.

Incorrect views of Racial Superiority

I must take umbridge with Michael Savage and his idea of white male inventions. To advance an argument that white men own an intellectual monopoly on brilliance is to advance the "White Man's Burden" all over again. He is holding onto a specious theory of racial and intellectual superiority. There is a long history of non white male inventors who deserve more credit than they get. The Chinese invented loads of items including rocketry, gunpowder and moveable type printing. George Washington Carver a black man had more than 300 inventions to his credit including Shampoo and Peanut Butter. Susan Kevel an army chemist invented Kevlar in the late 1970's an invention that saved the lives of countless police and soldiers. I am not saying that white males aren't smart that is not what I am claiming. What I am claiming however is that people of color who are brilliant at science get no credit at all. The same is true for women scientists. Mr. Savage's argument smacks of chauvenism and racism to say the least.

Barack Obama is Unfit to be President

Not only does he lack the knowledge to be a good commander in chief, Barack Obama does not have the credentials to be a good leader. Do not make this out to be race thing because its not. Anyone who is critical of Obama is immediately dubbed a racist and or a hater. I would vote for a black man for president if I believed he was a capable leader and a social conservative. Obama meets neither characterestic. I do like the fact that he is an America hater that does not sit well with me. Neither do I like his weak populist socialist demagoguery. Obama is completely unfit mentally to be a commander in chief.

Why isn't lynching a federal crime

The crime of pretexting basically recreating past computer messages via email is a federal crime. However the more serious and heinous crime of lynching, basically extra legal violent mob action is not a federal crime. Pretexting is the equivelent of punching someone in the dark. Lynching on the other hand is a serious felony. Yet you cannot be hauled in front of a federal grand jury for lynching the same way you can for pretexting. The time has come were we say lynching should be concerned a federal capital crime.

Outrage

San Francisco California suffers from an epidemic of crime. Due to 1960's immigrant sanctuary laws known felons are allowed to roam free. This defies all common sense and decency. Take for example what happened to the Bologna family last month. An illegal immigrant gangbanger shot dead a husband and two sons in cold blood. Yet due to the immigrant sanctuary laws he wasn't even arrested and prosecuted. We have to note that this said felon is implicated in at least two other murders in the past two years. Mayor Gavin Newsom and District Attorney Kamala Harris are unfit to hold their posts. They are more interested in protecting illegal immigrant felons and drugdealers at the expense of ordinary citizens. They should absolutely be run out of office.

Plenty of Blame to Go Around

The recent events in the former Soviet republic of Georgia have plenty of blame to go around. The first to be blamed is the over reaching of Georgia's president. The second major factor is the Russians overblown response to this whole situation. You hardly look like peacekeepers when you are looting, pillaging and killing ethnic Georgians. I do not believe that all sides are entirely innocent of all that they claim to be. Just remember this Russia the world has changed and this is no longer Prague of 1968 where you can just demolish a government.

the democrats have failed

In 2007 the democratic party came back into power in Washington after a decade in the wilderness. The democrats made several promises to restore honesty and integrety to Washington. They have failed on both counts. A lot of back room deal making, pandering to special interest groups and in some cases out right impropriety has marked the democratic tenure in the senate and house. By no measure of the term accountability have they succeed. The democrats as far as I am concerned have no business claiming the moral high ground. After all what drove them from power in the early nineties was a major corruption scandal. Democrats don't make false claims that you are more moral than us republicans.

the south China Sea

Late last month the Chinese Communist Government in Beijing made a ludicrious claim. It said in effect that the South China Sea which is a major piece of international waters was the soul property and domain of China. The communist government in Beijing has the mentality of a bully. It is trying to force other countries to do its bidding. We have to remember that all bullies on the inside are cowards. That is the case with the Chinese Communist Government. The south China sea borders for Nations including Vietnam, the Philipines and Maylasia. China has about as much a right to claim the south China sea as its domain. As the US government has the right to claim Australia as US territory. The claim is both baseless and ludicrious. If China attempts to bully the Philipines, America will not stand idly by.

The nineteenth century Russian Novelist Fyodor Doestoevesky was a huge influence on me in terms of storytelling.

This is in sharp contrast to previous Russian novelists like Leo Tolstoi. The latter employed an old, stable omniscient style of storytelling. Tolstoi was the past. Dostoevesky was the future.

Charity is good for many things but one of the least talked about aspect is what it does for the human sense of self. Charity deflates ego. We live here in America in a me, me, me society.

Doing things like charity even on a small scale deflates ego and boosts self esteem. It is good to give without thought of immediate reward. This month I volunteered at a non profit.

Presidential Pride

I get it, I get it this country has a long history of racism, xenophobia and ethnocentrism. That being said there is easily as much positive as there is negative about this country. Our scientific and intellectual accomplishments are without peer in the world. Practically everything modern was invented or developed by an American. Michelle Obama made the now infamous comment "I am finally proud of something my nation has done" when her husband was nominated to be president. Really Mrs. Obama, do you know that there are tens of millions of people who would gladly accept the freedom you so irresponsibly spurn. Pride in the accomplishments of one's nation is a prerequisite of being president. The president after all is seen as the Uber American. You can not be hating this nation and expect to be commander in chief. It does not work that way.

Chechnya, Europe's Genocide

Vladimir Putin Russia's President should not be seen as a strong leader, He should be seen as a war criminal for what he is continuing to do in the former Soviet republic of Chechnya. Putin's army overthrew Hassan Maskarov the previous Chechin president who won an election that was declared one of the freest and fairest in former Eastern Block Nation. The man Putin backs as President of Chechnya namely Igor Khadirov is a goon. Khadirov's private militia is guilty of committing murder and torture. These guys would make the Jumjuweed in Darfur look like bunny rabbits by comparison. Needless to say Putin is easily Europ's greatest living War Criminal. He has killed tens of thousands of Chechins most of whom never picked up an arm against Russia.

Pervez Musharraf should resign

In Pakistan today tens of thousands and lawyers, activists and politicians are marching towards Islamabad demanding the resignation of President Musharraff. It is a long time coming after the Pakistan People's Party and the Muslim League of Narwaz all Sharif one the parliamentary elections nearly four years ago today. What makes the uprising in Pakistan unique is that it is being led by the educated elite. Normally rebellions and revolutions are led by the poor and the working class. Such was the case in Indonesia in 2003-2004 with the ousting of Suharto. The time has long since come that corrupt and autocratic president of Pakistan should be forced to resign and tried for treason.

About Face for Hugo Chavez

Finally Hugo Chavez got some sense and stopped backing the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia. I wonder what took you so long Mr. President. We have to remember that the FARC are nothing more than a two bit terrorist group. They are no different from Hammas, Al Queada or the Badder Mienhoff Gang. They preach political violence and are involved in extensive kidnapping and drug smuggling operations. The time for them to lay down their arms in this illigititamate struggle has long since come to pass. I am patting you on the proverbial back Mr. Chavez for finally realizing how evil these people really are.

Bad Company

The Candicacy of Sentar Barack Obama raises so many red flags it is isn't even funny. First there is the incidiary comments of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright who I am still not convinced Obama has fully divorced politically. The Wright comments are only the tip of the bad taste iceberg. There is also Businessman Tony Resgco of Chicago an early political ally of Obama who has 16 counts of bribary, perjury and corruption laid out against him. Illinios Politics is a mess over the Resgco fallout. After it was divulged that Resgco had shaked down contractors for kick backs when he sat on two state government commissions. Why isn't Democratic Governor George Bugoyavich under more suspicion from the Resgco fallout if he appointed Resgco to those said boards? Needless to say it is pretty ugly out there.

Crossing the Hudson

The historical novel that I will write some time in the near future is called "Crossing the Hudson". It is the story of General George Washington's rebel army as it retreats from New York City after beign defeated by General Clinton and the British royal Army. The story is told through the eyes of a twenty year old second luietenant named Josiah Tynes from Framingham Massachusetts. This was a hugely symbolic moment in American history. It is a kin to when Julius Ceasar crossed the Rubicon in Italy back in the times of Ancient rome. The Colonial rebels set fire to the city of New York in one of the most dramatic moments of the revoulationary war.

Please Hilary Just Quit

Dear Senator Clinton


You are hurting your party by your stubborn refusal to acknowledge the victory of Barack Obama. Please do not force your way onto the ticket by armtwisting. That would be counter productive. It would have the results of making Senator Obama look weak and indecisive which are two traits not becoming of a chief executive. It is my personal opinion that Governor Janet Napoletano of Arizona is a much better fit as a running mate than Senator HR Clinton.

In Defense of Capitalism

Within the next ten years we will see the largest mass exodus from poverty in recorded history. Approximately 400 million people in India and China will become middle class. what makes this remarkable is the fact it is not being done through top down government initiatives ala the soviet union styled planned economies. To the contrary it is being done under the free market system. People who believe that top down big government iniatives are the future are in fact living in the past. Capitalism is the way forward for the worlds poor to get out of poverty and not communism or socialism. That is why I am pleading with the American Left not dismantle capitalism in the country in the next four years.

Necessary Reforms in the Electoral Process

Now that at long last the national campaigns of both respective parties are being launched here are some of my thoughts on the electoral process. First of all there are way to many primaries and caucauses. We need to cut the number of them in half or to a third. The British really have a good system that we can model our presidential elections on. The campaignin for the prime minister spot in Britain is only six weeks until the election is held. A rule of thumb with elections is less is more.
Seraph

Marred by Missteps

Senator Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign is in trouble. The slide she has taken since the first of the year 2008 and the Iowa Caucauses has been steep. To tell you just how steep her fall from grace has been in November of 2007 she led Senator Barack Obama by as much as 25% points in the polls. When Hilary has been gettign all the major election themes wrong, Barack Obama's campaign has been getting them right. Senator Obama has huge youth support the 18-25 age group favors him 5 to 1 to Hilary Clinton. Clearly if Mrs. Clinton is going to win this nomination fight she needs a major shake up of both her image and her message. Both of which are hurting her right now.

The Run Ain't Done

Although our season is finally over, I am still of the opinion that the Tim Duncan led Spurs have one more trip to the promised land before it is all said and done. Parker, Duncan and Ginobilli play to well as a unit for it to be over yet. You have not seen the last of the Alamo City.

Modern Fantasy Sucks

Modern Fantasy is some of the worst literature ever written. Clearly these writers I will not call them authors that would denigrate the term. They are all a bunch of mediocre Tolkien Recyclers. In fact Harry Potter is the most interesting and origninal set of stories fantasy has produced in more than twnety years.

A tale of two superstars

The NBA'S Western Conference Finals will be the tale of two superstars. The first superstar is Kobe the under performer Bryant. The Second Superstar is Tim "The Unstoppable" Duncan.


So far in the fast five years it has been all Tim Duncan. His career has be defined by his four NBA titles, which include 2 of the past three NBA seasons. Conversely the other superstar Bryant has only be defined by lackluster performances in the post season. Look to Tim Duncan in the next two games to bounce back big from his early funk. Remember this the New Orleans Hornets had their foot on San Antonio's collective throat yet they couldn't close us out in the best of seven. Remember LA neglect Duncan at your own peril.

Short Term steps to halt the advance of Climate Change

What we need to do is a cap the advance of climate change. In order to accomplish these goals we need to have a focus on renewable power sources. Also we need to have a European Style Cap and Trade system for carbon emissions. In addition to this we need to tighten fuel standards and close the loophole the created the SUV industry. We need to be thinking both small and green.

Kobe Bryant is not the MVP in my mind

Although he won the regular season MVP award I do not consider Kobe Bryant as a ligitimate MVP. Is it just me or has Lakers as a franchise spent the past five years loosing. Particularly in the past three years they failed to get out of the first round. The real MVP should be big man Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics. Where would they be without his tenacious defense. For my money I consider the true MVP to be Garnett and not Bryant. It is sad to say that the NBA's awards committee is easily swayed by popular opinion

The Patron Saint of Basketball

This blog is dedicated to the "Admiral" David Robinson big man emeritus of the San Antonio Spurs. Not only was he a great basketball player, he is after all the most under rated big man in the history of the game.
David Robinson was also a great humanitarian as well. He founded the Carver Academy in San Antonio which is a school dedicated to serving under previlidged youth in the Alamo City. Tutition is completely free if you get in. Robinson was the games greatest citizen he won the NBA's Citizenship award twice and it is now named in his honor.
In a day and age where athletes are more frequently found in the pages of the police blotter it is refreshing to see that genuinely good people can still get ahead. This is true of the Admiral and his protege Tim Duncan.
That is all for now.

Is there life beyond earth? so far we have discovered single cell organisms on mars that raise new questions about life elsewhere in the cosmos.

Government Should stay out of Pro Sports

With the noted exception of Balco and Steriods I am of the opinion that government should stay out of professional sports.

First of all it is a big waste of tax payer time and money. I can sight to examples of excess by government in something that isn't that important. California Senator Diane Feinstein tried to introduce legislation to keep the San Francisco 49ners in San Francisco. The second example is Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Spector getting involved in the Patriots Spygate scandal. Please people don't you have anything else better to do? Stop this rediculuous waste of tax payer time and money.

Eisenhower's Legacy in Civil Rights

Much attention in history has been given to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However there is an earlier milestone that I think is just as important in the over all story of the civil rights struggle.

The milestone I am talking about is school desegregation in the 1950's. It is important to note that the court of Fred Vinson prior to Earl Warren upheld the 1898 case Plessy Versus Ferguson which established the so called "Seperate But Equal doctrine". The Earl Warren court appointed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower struck down Plessy versus Ferguson in the Brown Versus Board of Education of Topeka Kansas case. It is important to remember that prior to the Brown decision the NAACP got its start sueing colleges for not letting in minority applicants. Education is the only meaningful way of lifting yourself out of poverty long term. This is just something I thought we should remember.

We Need to be a better road team

It is quite clear that if my San Antonio Spurs are to advance to the western conference finals we need to be a better road team. We have to have the ability to rise up and smack the opposing team in their own crib. Sadly for us that easier said that done. New Orleans is a good team this year and they will not fade away easily. That being said I know my boys from the Alamo City can rise to challenge.
