Speeches

This is the John McCain that I once respected, and for whom in years past, I would have considered voting … well , except for the Sarah Palin comments in the middle of the speech. If this had been the John McCain that had been campaigning for the past several months, I feel the election [...]

It’s time

Sometimes, I really wish I didn’t have to turn to the foreign media to get the best news from an unbiased and objective perspective. The Economist has long been one of those foreign sources of news to which I have turned to get a broader perspective of world events.

Bush’s speech

I need a transcript!!!

I did agree with this statement: “I understand the frustration of responsible Americans who pay their mortgage on time, file their tax returns every April 15th and are reluctant to pay the excess costs on Wall Street,” he said. But, he added, “given the situation we’re facing, not passing a [...]
