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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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).

First Lady Obama was introduced to all gathered [...]

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 blog, [...]

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 [...]

Hillary is a SMASHING HIT in Indonesia, as you will see in the videos below. One of the highlights of her visit was her appearance on the most popular television show in Indonesia (there are some great quotes below the fold!) where she bravely tried to pronounce the complex language, sing a little, and [...]

It is often difficult, if not near impossible, for an individual, company, institution, or even a government to provide a measured, honest, and unbiased perspective of a difficult situation. Given one’s proximity and emotional attachment to the situation, human nature clouds one’s viewpoint and, in turn, one’s reactions and responses.
How great it is when we [...]

So says Jim Cramer. Love him or hate him, the guy comes out with some real doozies. In this article, “Cramer on Obama’s Anti-Wall Street Comments: “We Heard Lenin,” Cramer lets fly:
With all the populist sentiment generated from the economic slowdown by politicians, CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer is seeing eerie similarities [...]

I will admit that, given the current dynamics at work in the economy and the markets, I have become somewhat numbed as to the magnitude of some of the developments. Many of the highlights that I will offer from yesterday’s news would be enormous stories in and of themselves. Taken collectively, they do become overwhelming [...]

Well, I’ll be darned. You live and learn, as they say. How many of you, by a show of hands, knew that global warming disproportionately impacts African Americans above all other people? Show of hands? *Crickets* Yeah, that’s what I thought. Thank heavens I have my representative, Jim Clyburn [...]
