The first leg of my journey went smoothly. I’m writing this post from Newark International Airport. Now, I suffer through the waiting game for another 3 hours until my flight to Paris leaves. I flew on Continental here and a nice thing about their terminal is the vast offering of free magazines. I will be […]
No, the altered logo at the top is not some bit of wishful thinking. Today, I am off on a trans-Atlantic flight to France.
I have my passport, so they’ll let me leave the country, but will they let me return? Will TAM become TAMTF (The American Mind Trapped in France)?
My mother has threatened to […]
Continuing with my facination with President Bush and the Hispanic community, The Washington Times interviewed Bush’s top political strategist, Karl Rove. Rove’s answer to Bush’s popularity in the Hispanic community is because “we take our policies to the Hispanic community in a way that it hears and retains, and it knows that we’re making a […]

The U.S. is at risk from possible space attack. No, not from little green men, but from other nations who see our vulnerabilities. Jack Spenser notes:
America’s commercial, civil, and military reliance on space inevitably will draw attacks from hostile powers that see its undefended capability as an Achilles heel, as Chinese military writings make clear. […]
