BOLO: A New Breed of Terrorist
Upon learning of a meeting I scheduled in Thomson, Illinois my young son asked me with a concerned look on his face “Dad, did you know there are terrorists in Thomson?” Obviously he heard a news report about the possible relocation of Guantanamo Bay prisoners. I assured him that I would be safe though I [...]

President Obama’s go to guy on alternative forms of sustainable transportation suggested we look at “walking and bicycling as equals with other modes of transportation.” From his blog, The Fast Lane, “A lot of [...]

Somali Pirates Pick Fight with the United States Navy?
I’m sorry. I just don’t get it. Imagine yourself, if you can, a Somali pirate out on the open waters marauding, looking for your next victim to pillage. All of a sudden, you see a ship off in the distance and decide, “looks like a good day for a raid.” As you get closer, you [...]

Can We Still Judge the ‘Book of Iran’ by its Cover?
In a followup to this original post, see the CNN interview with Fareed Zakaria where he states, “It would be bizarre to bomb Iran– which means bombing Iranians — now that we have seen the inside of that country.”

Emmy-Winning Commentator and Writer for Esquire John Ridley raises a valid point with his story on the Huffington Post, “Mark Sanford Gets Lucky. Again.” I think we need to take it a step further.

Is Global Warming real or imagined? Who or what is to blame? Who Cares?
With all the debate over Global Warming and its causes, real or imagined, clogging the airwaves and internet, how about some discussion about how to prepare for a climatic future different than our present state of nature?
