Hauntings From Viet Nam Era
September 28th, 2005 · No Comments · politics
Quite a good commentary on the present “Anti-war” movement, One Hand Clapping writes about his own view and adds the excellent Christopher Hitchens opinion.

Just Talking- about me, of course
September 28th, 2005 · No Comments · fragments
I have mentioned how I label myself conservative and that got me thinking. I love history, I love the ephemera of history… a genuine Old House person, I don’t think I ever lived in a newly built house…not even recently built except for my dorms at university. And the first dorm was the oldest on [...]

Who can’t bound down the street in a new pair of sneakers,
Who never “counted potatoesâ€,
Who never go to [...]

I beg to differ

BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | Katrina prompts charity not change
Americans are cross with the government and disappointed with the response from Washington, but they have not sat on their hands and waited for the government to sort itself out. Much the opposite.
Americans have given with unbridled enthusiasm and generosity.

ZNet |Science | A World Turned Upside Down
The intergovernmental panel on climate change, which predicts how far the world’s temperature is likely to rise, hasn’t yet had time to include them in its calculations. The current forecast – of 1.4 to 5.8 degrees this century – is almost certainly too low.
