Happy Thanksgiving (Not a Monday)

As you partake of the bounty of America's heartland, enjoy time with family and friends and nap on the couch, please take a moment and give thanks to all those that let you sleep soundly. 

This year, goes without saying that I have a lot to give thanks to and for. There are lot of people who allow me to sleep soundly knowing that everything is going to be alright.   Today, I have a new group I would like to include and thank; the boys from Kansas who provide me the luxury of sleeping safely and securely while at my home away from home. 

Book Review "Blackwater" (Audio Book)

By Jeremy Scahill

This one I struggled to get through and it was an audio book courtesy of the Navy’s online book library. This book dripped of anger at the Bush administration, defense contractors, right wing conservatives and the Christian right.  If you chose to read it, get a copy from the library. Remember we are imperialistic capitalist! (FYI Our current military structure would fail without contractors on the battle field!)

Missile or Airplane??

FOIA the Federal Aviation Administration for the radar tapes! Everything in SOCAL is under radar control or being monitored!  Easy, easy.  If not an airplane some serious heads will roll!

Things that make you go..."Hummmmm"

UAE Taking Al Qaeda Claim Seriously in Crash Probe

and

Now ties this in with....

Book Review: “The Defector” by Daniel Silva

This is one of those post 9-11 not quite techno thrillers along the line of Vince Flynn.  This time it is the Israelis getting even with some Russian gun runners.  Interesting and the 497 pages were a quick read, especially when compared to” Atlas Shrugged”.  Would I get this in a bookstore?  Maybe an airport book store, defiantly.  This one is a hand me down and I will in do the same. 

Where did all the "Smart" people go?

Don't forget to VOTE
