Everyone is very busy worrying about the campaign. Yet just recently the 2001anthrax affair again burst into the news.
A former Fort Detrick scientist committed suicide. But I do remember this whole mess. It was just before the Patriot act was passed, and the targets of the attack were anti-war Democratic Senators, along with some news […]

The question is not how “soft” a science is “scientific polling” but how much Obama being “squishy soft” on “national security” will help America’s next “Reagan in waiting.” October surprise… how do you spell “trick or treat” in Farsi? Obama is not aking believers in “change you can believe in” to “get clean […]

Please accept my apologies, my lovelies, for my extended failure to post. My own blog has been neglected as have my friends. However my place of employment has seen much too much of me. And unfortunately I still require a paycheck to enable my habit of buying groceries.
This will be a drive-by […]

I think all of us who can recall the 1950’s (OK, I was a little tyke, but I saw the movies) know what the game of “chicken” is. Two cars full of screaming teenagers go at each other at high speed, the first one to pull the wheel and steer out of the […]

I wanted to let the Jeremiah Wright issue ferment for a while before posting on it and on the campaign again (Sorry Groom, the coming global depression is going to be big news tomorrow ushered in by the fire sale of Bear Stearns to JP Morgan for (gasp!) $2/share. But it’s too, well, depressing.) […]

Maybe some readers like watching BoB devolve from a platform that created a community of a million vistors of all stripes into a milquetoast circle jerk that is simpled down to the political flavors of an effete few.  I am not one of them. Which is why I’m posting an item about Eliot Spitzer. Nobody put blinkers on […]

The commander in the Middle East, Admiral Fallon, head of Centcom, has resigned. He was one of the officers who stood between us and a disastrous war with Iran. It is no secret that there are those Neocons, who are still running around, who desire this war above all else before President […]

The only thing left for the MSM to predict is their own job security. And Howard Dean thought the long march to the convention would benefit his potty. The unofficial innaguration takes place in about 12 hours. All’s left to predict is how much money will it take to get Chuck Berry to play an innaugural shindig. Why did Hanoi John win?  […]

The Dem race has degenerated into something out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Hillary invades the French castle with her Trojan Rabbit forgetting to put her men inside. Obama farts in her general direction and catapults cows over the wall. Meanwhile the media has played this like it’s a perpetual […]

As a founding blogger of BoB, humbly beg to report I am thoroughly disgusted at the recent narrowing down- and simpling down- of the subject focus here. Hilla should this, Barack should that.  The Dems this, the Dems that.  While my observations and transgressions in such areas are duly noted, the mashup of “engagement” and […]
