Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq The real reason Bush went into Iraq: 2 of 45
You can hardly blame people for suspecting the worst about President Bush's decision to invade and occupy Iraq. One of the latest and most curious events to bolster conspiracy beliefs was the presence of NASA vehicles and U.S. SEALS troops to protect them, surrounding an ancient Sumerian temple south of Badgdad. You Tube pull... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Should the US pull out its troops regardless of whether Iraq is ready to defend its people?: 20 of 214
No, American troops should remain in Iraq forever - the ones who haven't died from radioactive poisoning from Bush's use of depleted uranium weaponry, that is. For one thing, the military has been taking in convicted felons, who have great difficulties in the domestic job market. This is a great way to get them off the street... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: How will you be remembered?: 11 of 58
So, none of you remember what Lord Walsingham told the Duke of Suffolk in the first "Elizabeth" film? People will forget you. It's as simple as that. The only real exception is in the case of exceptional notoriety - and then, what they remember will be generally without proper explanation of the entire context of your life. T... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues The sad truth of being injured on the job and dealing with Workers Compensation: 2 of 5
I was injured on the job in 1992 while working in California for the operations of a major international airline. I had a fractured ankle, but was told to transport myself to a medical clinic near the LAX airport. The doctor returned shortly with x-rays clearly ilustrating a fracture. I was placed in a temporary leg cast and ... More..
Arts & Humanities > 20th & 21st Century US History The Pearl Harbor Attack: Did President Roosevelt Know in Advance?: 2 of 5
British author Thomas J. Summers writes, in his unauthorised biography of J. Edgar Hoover, that the FBI Director telephoned the head of the Honolulu Police Department's Intelligence Division on Thursday, December 4th 1941 and warned him to get himself and his family out of town before - 7 A.M. Sunday December 7th (The man had... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What would you do for money: 12 of 27
The question is what would I do for money - not what some other person with differing capabilities, connections, or world view would do for money. I can tell you what I would not do for money, and the first thing which comes to mind is theft. I worked on a job about 20 years ago which involved handling thousands of dollars in... More..
Jobs & Careers > Office Politics Office tips: How to tell coworkers they smell bad: 9 of 20
I think that a consistently odorous and/or unkempt person has underlying problems which must be dealt with. Appearances - or worse yet, olfactory impressions - may indicate that this person lacks respect for others, but it may be just as true that he or she lacks respect for themself. I offer an approach to this problem which... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Predicting what country George Bush will invade next: 11 of 23
Undoubtedly, the answer to the question is - ZIMBABWE! Having heard of Mr. Mugabe's world-renowned program of displacing those parasitical, unproductive white farmers with properly educated and experienced black professionals, with all the resultant bumper crops and exports and beneficial effects upon the national currency an...

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Predicting the arrival of the rapture: 13 of 25
The only thing I'll predict about the biblically-described instant removal of truly dedicated Christians from the earth to Heaven is that many people - Christian and non-Christian - will be caught unprepared. A perfect example amongst non-believersis to be found in Rabbi Shmueley Boteach (former spiritual advisor to singer Mi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Determining the safest places on Earth during nuclear wars: 11 of 20
For some time now, writing from Las Vegas, I have felt the need to consider what course of action may be appropriate in the event of a major terrorist attack on this place - there ARE people in this world who are not particularly enamoured of the fact that more money was wagered here last year than the national economies of R...
