George Will's Libertarian conversion

Well maybe not quite.  I do know that we started at the same place with Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative and then I got distracted. It' good to see him and the metamorphous he has undergone.   This hour long interview on Reason TV flew by. I wished there had been more.

Climate Alarm, too muted for some

The U. N. is about to publish a big climate change study and survey which some view as being not being alarming enough.

I am re-posting Matt Ridley's presentation that I found a year back at Reason TV that turn the assumptions of the poor result of global warming on the heads of the global warming alarmists.

Putin the Mediator

In a very well written editorial in today's New York Times, Russian Premier Vladimir Putin makes an extremely good point, which is to use the U. N.  From my perspective while I would be troubled if I believed that my neighbor was beating his wife and children,  I would never intervene unilaterally. I would call the police. And I would keep calling if necessary.

War is easy to get into but hard to get out of

I have to commend President Obama for considering that war is easy to get into but hard to get out of.  His going to Congress and now considering Russia advising it's client state to remove tactically useless weapons from the scene all come from a wariness of pulling the trigger.

Consider how Lyndon Johnson's legacy was destroyed by huffing and puffing a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through Congress for a limited response to an unclear attack that morphs into a protracted war with fifty thousand American and untold Vietnamese dead for what we now consider a mistake.

Syria's Assad deconstructs Charlie Rose

al-Assad may not be likable, but he appears to be rational and realistic. I can't say the same for our side, Secretary of State Kerry in particular.

Media Research Center - What a FOX hole!

I just spotted an "I am Against Liberal Media Bias" bumper sticker that on a google search shows itself to be from Media Research Center. You go MRC. Keep on scamming the ignorant people.

As for bumper stickers, nothing beats "Give Peas a Chance"

On Syria Vote, Trust but Verify

Florida Democrat Representative Alan Grayson's editorial in today's New York Times hit's hard on classified information.  When I accuse the NSA of calling Diane Feinstein a dumb bitch it is because they are using her.  She relays everything the intelligence community wants us to believe and thereby gives it her blessing.  If I were in Representative Grayson's shoes I would resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and be free to declare what BS the CIA is delivering.
