American Interventionism 
Thursday, November 8, 2007, 02:15 PM - politiFoo
Great comment from Coob over at Reddit:


A non-interventionist US foreign policy will throw the world into either an uncertain and terrifying place, or one dominated by a power whose influence would be far worse than current perceptions of US hegemony.

American intervention is the reason I speak English and not German, it is what has stopped genocide, it is what has toppled repressed dictators and it is what has defeated both fascism and communism.



Read the rest.

Calls for Unity After Iraq Upsets Saudi Arabia at Asian Cup

Fantastic!


The Iraq team's win dripped with symbolism, not least in the makeup of its front-line strikers: one Kurd, one Shiite, one Sunni.

Action is the foundational key to all success.



That's why I haven't updated in a while.
I've been really... successful... lately.

Life is Good

(Originally posted June 16, 2006; lost in the WC2006 flood...)

During my morning sip, I was reading a Norwegian study that coffee is good for you. The warm creamy goodness in my mug cofirms that. But it got me to thinking about all the news I've read lateley. Like how my beloved Tabasco kills prostate cancer. And how Red wine also helps prevent prostate cancer and helps combat deafness. We've also been treated to studies that show that Beer and Pizza could help prevent Cancer, and that mild alcohol intake can significantly reduce the risk for heart disease in men and is associated with better mental function in older women.

But, back to my "Comfort in a Cup". It turns out that Coffee will counteract all that Beer, Wine, and Pizza by cuting alcohol liver damage and being good for my heart. I was also shocked to learn that it can even shield from me from radiation. Forget SDI, I propose the Coffee Defense Initiative!

I always fancied myself as being somewhat open-minded, but it turns out that may just be the Coffee. I'd better be careful with my coffee when telemarketers call since apparently coffee makes you more easily persuaded.

The biggest surprise was that caffeine may boost the female sex drive. Hmmm. Really. And you say coffee makes us more likely to say 'yes'? Hmmmmmm. I gotta go now, and make my wife the perfect cafe au lait.
