This past week President Obama hosted his big Nuclear Summit, welcoming leaders from all over the world (except for Israel, of course – Obama seems intent on breaking up with our ally int he Middle East). Oh, yes – it was quite the big to-do. Obama was on tv freakin’ non-stop, with one teleprompted speech [...]

Oh, what a turn of events, and so quickly, too. Remember when Hugo Chavez called Bush “the devil” at another UN meeting? Many of us thought that was hilarious. Here’s the clip as a reminder: Yes, yes, that was mighty funny. Finally, someone was saying what so many of us lefties thought.

* bumped up * Well, it seems like it is finally happening. The world community to which Obama pandered during the campaign is starting to realize what many Americans now know (and some of us always did): He’s not all he’s cracked up to be. In this article from Spiegel, “Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets [...]

I have thought what I would write about after my post on my beloved Sweetie (and I have been out of town helping to get my mom’s new Assisted Living unit set up for her this weekend). Honestly, I didn’t want to go off on anything or anyone today. Fortunately, thanks to NQ artist, Pat [...]

The Uyghurs of East Turkistan have launched a wave of protest against the bullying, greedy, ineffective Beijing leadership, this time in the East Turkistan (called by the Beijing cadre Xinjiang Province) capital of Urumqi. Over the last year, we have reported a deal on the Uyghur protests and the Uyghur yearning for liberty.

Uh oh. Someone let go of the leash. God bless you if you can make it through all 23 minutes of Wolf Blitzer’s and Gloria Borger’s interview of Vice President Joe Biden on CNN. I couldn’t stomach it. But the take-away sound bite left my jaw on the floor. You NEVER guarantee this. Because you [...]

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown just delivered a statement highlighting the results of the G-20 conference in London. There must have been a lot of work done behind the scenes over the last few months because it’s hard to imagine there was a lot of debate over issues within a 36 hour time frame at [...]

In ten days, the leaders of the G-20 will meet for the most highly anticipated financial conference since Bretton Woods in 1944. In a bold and aggressive move prior to this conference, China’s central bank called today for the replacement of the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency. I have written about the tension [...]

As you all may know, March is Women’s History Month, and Sunday, March 8th, is celebrated as International Women’s Day, first celebrated in 1911! I can think of no better way to celebrate it then by presenting the following video of one of the Top 100 Speeches of the Twentieth Century, First Lady Hillary Rodham [...]

And I’m not just talking politics. No, rather that I have slept on the sofa for over a week now to be close to our adopted stray, Lucy’s, whelping bed. As some of you may recall, her delivery was imminent. Only it wasn’t. Sigh. She just got bigger and bigger and bigger as the week [...]

My local paper had an Editorial recently entitled, “Hillary’s Shameful Silence.” I bet I don’t even have to tell you about what the Editors are speaking – you guessed it, human rights in China: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just returned from her first trip abroad. She said she chose to visit Asia because [...]

I have always been intrigued by Germany. From the history of the republic, to the wars, the division and reunification, Berlin, Munich, the food, the beer — there is a lot going on there. I had the good fortune of spending a college semester in Freiburg, which is in the southwestern corner of the country. [...]

First Lady Michelle Obama wore purple the color of royalty. In human color psychology, purple is associated with royalty, regality, and nobility (stemming from antiquity where Tyrian Purple was only affordable to the elites). See also: ‘Royal purple’ or the dark violet color known as vulgar purple.” ]. First Lady Obama was introduced to all [...]

BELOW THE FOLD: Hillary on Burma and Hillary’s view of how U.S. policy is adversely affecting the desperate Burmese people … and Zakaria on economic sanctions. This is an especially IMPORTANT video, as will be more we’ll post for you from Fareed Zakaria’s Sunday CNN program, a riveting hour. Really! (I stopped working on the [...]

As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking – it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to renegotiate [...]
