Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I’m cautiously optimistic about this report.
BAGHDAD — Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has ordered a six-month suspension of activities by his Mahdi Army militia in order to reorganize the force, and it will no longer attack U.S. and coalition troops, aides said Wednesday.

This will be my last post.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

The political season has started with a bang and J and I have, sometimes, different points of view. If I stayed and continued to post, it would be nothing but tit for tat and I respect her too much to do that. Hopefully, after the election, I will try my hand at blogging again. I [...]

He May Not Get Confirmed, But President Vows To Pick Someone Who Agrees With His Policies For AG

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

He may be a beleaguered president, but don’t call him a lame duck yet, as he is still fighting for what he believes.

A Scandal-Scarred G.O.P. Asks, ‘What Next?’

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

This is whats happening in the real world of scandal. People don’t care about who got a million here or there. They care about things that they can understand in one second of their busy lives. I think that we are going to need more than campaign finance scandal this time around to beat the [...]

Mattel will now pay attention to Chinese Vendors..It’s about time.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Many recalls later, Mattel has decided they need to get down to business and become serious about quality control. Given the magnitude of these defective products, manufactured mainly for children, I would say the time should have been many yesterday’s ago.
