movin' on
So. Now that the excitement on the frozen tundra has wound down, it's time to figure out how to face the long haul until Spring.... which means late April here. At -20 degrees outside, ice fishing doesn't cut it; and it's almost too cold for walking around...

Chavez writes a new chapter in the History of Foreign Policy
And take a guess at the title of the Chapter? "Playground Politics for Grownups". Or how about "Put on Your Big Boy Pants, Hugo"? Now I wish I hadn't written the term paper on Containment. Chavez-watching just makes the writing so easy. FOXNews.com -...

A Death in the Family: Politics & Power
I'd always thought of Christopher Hitchens as a great writer, because he pi$$ed me off just as often as he made me nod in agreement. (Okay, so I have a weird definition of "great"). With this piece for Vanity Fair, Hitchens tells us about a great loss...

Next up!

More pics
Yes, I have been remiss (what does that phrase *mean*, anyway?) in blog posts. I can only cry "busybusybusy" and "too much gallivanting around the Northwoods". And that doesn't even include the upcoming motorcycle trip later this week, wherein eight or...

Today's Earworm
I heard this tune awhile back on XM, but it came across the local "pretty music for old farts" radio station last night while I was at work. It's a new-ish song by REOSpeedwagon. Now it's stuck. I always was a sucker for a good old Midwestern-roots rock...

And on the subject of "Pardons"?
I thought it appropriate since Mad brought up the subject of pardons in her last post that some of Mr. Clintons' Pardons be brought to the forefront to show what sort of characters he associated with either directly of indirectly. Since Scooter Libby...

Wish I'd seen this article *last* week
