Happy Thanksgiving by Martha Randolph Carr Once again this Thanksgiving I’m asking everyone out there to support our men and women serving in the military with messages from home. The Postal Service has changed the rules since last year so pay attention because letters addressed to ‘Any Service Person’ will no longer be delivered.

America Swallows Prime Minister Singh’s ‘Lies’ on Kashmir: The Frontier Post, Pakistan
The battle for Kashmir: While it remains one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood conflicts on the planet, it is also one of the most dangerous and unpredictable - and a major threat to the battle against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. This editorial from Pakistan's Frontier Post, a newspaper published near the Afghan border in Quetta, shows that while people were all smiles … [Read more...] about America Swallows Prime Minister Singh’s ‘Lies’ on Kashmir: The Frontier Post, Pakistan

Obama risks losing face at the Copenhagen Conference
A two-edged sword lurks under President Barack Obama’s sudden decision to attend the Copenhagen talks on climate change. Just a few hours ago the United Nations Climate Change Conference seemed headed to muddle and failure. Obama’s presence on December 9 gives a welcome boost but it could also bring ignominy upon the President if he cannot knock heads together. The … [Read more...] about Obama risks losing face at the Copenhagen Conference
Obama: War and Peace
Next week Barack Obama will announce he is sending tens of thousands more troops to fight in Afghanistan as he prepares ten days later to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. This juxtaposition raises questions about the "new climate in international politics" for which the Nobel Committee has cited him, observing, "Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments … [Read more...] about Obama: War and Peace
Senator Coburn Finally Does the Right Thing
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote how one Senator, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, was obstructing urgently needed legislation intended to help wounded veterans and their families. The New York Times wrote: The omnibus legislation drew unanimous committee approval. But Senator Coburn objected to quick floor passage, demanding that the five-year, $3.7 billion cost be offset with … [Read more...] about Senator Coburn Finally Does the Right Thing
Domestic Violence Now Under Attack In Several Countries
A series of news reports indicate that an assault on domestic violence is now underway in several countries at a time when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has unveiled a renewed campaign opposing violence against women. And then there's today: November 25 -- the International Day for the Elimination of all Forms of Violence Against Women. In Great Britain, domestic … [Read more...] about Domestic Violence Now Under Attack In Several Countries
Dumb Act Of ‘Courage’
Damn it. He did it. President Barack Obama today pardoned a turkey named Courage he preferred to eat but was vetoed by his two daughters. This is one presidential custom I hoped the president had the audacity to change. At least Obama conducted the ceremony with dignity. No turkey slaughter in the background a la Sarah Palin's press conference last year in Alaska. Some … [Read more...] about Dumb Act Of ‘Courage’
Bad movie, good soundtrack
I enjoy emotional music. In fact, I’m a sucker for a good soundtrack. The plot, acting, and special effects might stink to high heaven, but if the movie is scored by John Williams I’ll let it slide. My cynicism is no match for an evocative weepy violin crescendo. Consequently, I’ve teared up at the climax of some really awful films. My wife enjoys exploiting this … [Read more...] about Bad movie, good soundtrack

NEWS BULLETIN: Obama Pardons White House Turkey

Here's the complete ceremony, including Obama's extensive remarks on this vital matter: … [Read more...] about NEWS BULLETIN: Obama Pardons White House Turkey
Noted Scumbag to do Hard Time in … Swiss Chalet?
Just in time for Thanksgiving, guess who is back in the news? Yes, it's Roman Polanski, noted movie producer, escaped felon and pedophile. (Hat tip to Ed at Hot Air.) It seems that old Roman has ponied up $4.5M and gotten himself out on bail. But don't worry about whether or not justice is being served... he'll still be doing hard time. In his Swiss chalet. Bail has … [Read more...] about Noted Scumbag to do Hard Time in … Swiss Chalet?
Cap And Pollute
Here's a revolutionary idea for building a mouse trap. The new trap would have the usual opening where the mouse can enter in search of food. But if its inconvenient for the mouse to stay, it can exit from a back door that's provided for this option. Since the mouse now has two choices (stay or leave), this is a free market solution to mouse catching. Sound like a good way … [Read more...] about Cap And Pollute

Mint Shopping: We looked at the major retailers within three categories; general, clothing, and electronics to predict how each will fare this holiday shopping season. Our research indicates that, while the general retail sector will lag year over year in Q4, clothing and electronics will likely beat 2008 numbers. More. And if you're among those thinking of buying … [Read more...] about Black Friday 2009: Boom or Bust?
Thanksgiving Wishes: For the Past and the Future
Traditionally, Americans give thanks for the blessings our families, our people and our country have continued to enjoy during the past year, and years past---and so we should. However, this Thanksgiving, as our nation faces many problems and we are on the verge of making pivotal decisions on, among others, war and peace, the economy and our common health care, I believe … [Read more...] about Thanksgiving Wishes: For the Past and the Future
David Plouffe Book Tour: St. Louis
Friday night, my wife and I attended an event at the headquarters branch of the St. Louis County Library, featuring David Plouffe, the manager of Obama’s campaign for the White House. Plouffe was in town for the second to last stop of a tour promoting his book, The Audacity to Win, released earlier this month. Of course, by the time Plouffe reached our area, much of the … [Read more...] about David Plouffe Book Tour: St. Louis
