Why We Can’t Abandon Iraq

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Yes, our Iraqi adventure started on a false premise. Yes, our presence in Iraq is making lots of Muslims (and others) hate our country. And no, having troops in Iraq will probably not deter terrorism in the U.S. or Europe. But we still shouldn’t leave Iraq until we can hang up a real “Mission Accomplished” [...]

Hey, Republicans! Senator Nelson is Your Kind of Guy!

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Some of you condemn him for being a “libral” or some other evil like that, but where the rubber meets the road, Bill Nelson is one of you! Example: He voted to kill the Dynasty Tax. No kidding.

Monday, June 12th, 2006

MONDAY, JUNE 12, BRADENTON, FLORIDA — Yesterday we had a little wind, maybe 30 kt. gusts at most. No big deal. Today tropical storm Alberto seems to be producing lots of rain and not much else. Once again, I made a video (and uploaded it to crappy-but-free YouTube) instead of typing.

Hurricanes…. insanely high home and business insurance rates jumping even higher because of hurricanes… low wages — now combined with high housing prices… and a bunch of other problems.
