REFLECTIONS

Dith Pran the courageous Cambodian photographer who miraculously survived the Killing Fields has passed away.  His life, like those who survived Hitler’s holocaust, was a monument to truth.  Because of men like Pran who would not allow the left to get away with their lies, the truth about communism in Southeast Asia was told.    He [...]

Over in the right sidebar, I added the profile of red moderator: Ben Boychuk. The creators of redblueamerica.com believe that Americans are hungry for good argument and respectful debate. This weblog welcomes them in joining the good fight.

Get an important, acurate documentary about Iraq and give Hollywood the finger.  Go here to find out how: http://outsidethewire.com/blog/documentary-series/beating-hollywood.html H/T Instapundit.  (Does that guy ever sleep?)

THPrincess was a title I was given, not one I asked for.  Now that I am older and wiser I have chosen to change my nom de online conservative politics.  From now on I shall blog under a name that truly represents me philosophically and literally.  So meet the BurkeanMama.

So another anti-Iraq movie has come out this one supposedly telling the side of a soldier who no longer wants to soldier.  Meanwhile here is a movie Hollywood will never make.  A marine who lost his leg in service in Iraq trains and works so that he can return to active duty this time in [...]

A good friend, who is thirty-something and a multi-passported foreigner, told me yesterday history and geography are boring. The former would be better served by watching hollywood movies and, the. latter one should travel independently in order to learn about others. Last night, he said his Netfix movie for viewing was the 2005 “Good Night [...]

I was discussing pop singers with a young friend of mine.  I was explaining that Brittney/Christina/Hilary/Hannah are all equally awful.  Then I slipped him this youtube link and he had to agree, THIS is singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkOuLZ2zcY0 I miss you Ella.  But I bet the angel’s choir loves having you with them.

Over at http://www.gaypatriot.net/  they connected to a story of the usual Howard Dean nonsense about Republican bigotry http://badgerherald.com/news/2008/03/26/dean_future_bleak_fo.php   They can’t become more diverse,” Dean said. “Who in their right mind, if they were African American or Hispanic or Asian American, if they were gay or lesbian, would join the Republican Party?” His mentioning Asian Americans [...]

In MemoriamRobert James ClarkeJune 28, 1953 – January 1, 2008Our fellow Town Haller @ CompuServe With the frequent townhall.com changes in their website, we all suffered by losing touch with each other then we learn the actual lost of one of us — the separation become a true lost.

Actually I love to say I told you so.  I pointed out last year that Hilary Clinton is Tonya Harding of the 08 Presidential campaign.  Now instapundit has figured it out http://instapundit.com/archives2/016980.php.  I am really busy today, will someone please write to Mr. Reynolds and tell him that John McCain is Dick Button. http://marlettsmith.com/blog/index.php/2007/11/12/the-skating-handicap/ 

Been touring the web reading the mea culpas from white people convinced there is nothing worse than being black.   I have read all the examples of hurt inflicted on blacks that these oh so wracked with guilt white folks have seen with their very own eyes.   Racism is bad so there must be an excuse for [...]

Lordy figure skating is corrupt.  You have to hand it to Cinquantta in his desire to remain firmly in power, as head of the International Skating Union, he came up with the most labyrinthine judging system imaginable.  Code Of Points is so complicated and overflowing with minutiae that the judges can cheat as much as [...]

I have achieved internet immortality.  I have been quoted by Instapundit.  Ah well you know what Andy Warhol said “one day we will all be on Instapundit for 15 minutes.” http://instapundit.com/archives2/016855.php

Okay watched the gala live on the internet this morning and now Worlds is over.  So where were we.  I believe when I left you last weekend to go to virtual Sweden two ivy league 6 figure lawyers were fighting it out over who is the biggest victim.  And now…well I guess I didn’t miss [...]

In this ‘modern’ age we complain of division among us. It has been our humanly lot to empathize the audacity of hope. As if without group-think for solving problems it just time-wasting insolence. For many of us we begin the celebration of how individuals can put their hopes into actions with bold belief they can [...]

Ah so one of my predictions did come true, Mao Asada of Japan won the lady’s competition at the World Figure Skating Championships.  Bravo Mao!  I knew she would be World Champion one day the first time I saw her skate as a Junior back in 2004.  The pigs flying moment was a great one [...]

For the first time in the history of the World Figure Skating Championships a lady from Israel has qualified for the free skate in the Lady’s competition.  Tamar Katz landed  a couple of very big jumps today to finish 24th in the short program and move onto the Free Skate.    http://www.isufs.org/bios/isufs00006326.htm  Bravo Tamar have a [...]
