Do The Right Thing

I know the cause in Darfur has been previously championed here at TPS. So I thought it was appropriate to note today’s latest development.
The Security Council voted to create a peacekeeping force in Sudan’s Darfur region, despite the Khartoum government’s strong opposition. But the troops will not be deployed until Sudan consents. The U.N. wants [...]

…for making it clear that your resignation will be tendered by the end of the year. Afterall, this geezer has finally gone off the deep end. I usually shy away from knee-jerk by nature. But with such a narrow-mided view of reasonable debate on fighting the War in Iraq, I now have no choice but [...]

Response to Comments About Solutions to the “Pork Problem”
August 29, 2006 | Leave a Comment
G-Veg asks in the Comments to my previous post for some solutions to the “pork” problem. My answer exceeds the space for comments, so I’ll post it for all to see.
By solutions, we have to first decide if we are talking about actual solutions or merely politically palatable solutions? If the latter, than legislation like [...]

A Couple Items of Interest (at least to me)

First, the New York Times has an interesting article about wages and productivity. Essentially the article cites U.S. government data to show that real wages are failing to keep up with the increased productivity that the US labor force is producing. In other, simpler terms, were all doing more but getting paid less. Meanwhile, corporate profits are rising, [...]

Now estranged Florida GOP senatorial candidate Katherine Harris has resorted to typical GOP garbage in trying to save her own ass. “If you’re not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin,” Harris said, amongst other gems. Gays…check. Abortion…check. What’s next, Fidel’s WMD? Maybe she can go work [...]

Some Freedom in Gaza
August 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment
Many TPS readers may be aware of my broad criticism of the handling of the “War on Terror”. Indeed blending it with the War in Iraq has produced so many disastrous results. However, with today’s news of the release of Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig in Gaza, I want to praise [...]

Lie-berman?
August 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment
Captain Ed’s post at The Captain’s Quarters got me thinking about Senator Joe Liberman’s ongoing Connecticut Senate campaign.
Lieberman is exploring the many facets of independence in American politics, and the people who forced it on him still express surprise and anger over it. The only surprise here is that they’re surprised.
My thoughts on the matter [...]
