Your Tax Dollars at Work
Why is it that when people are discovered doing wrong, they do the same thing over and over again? Is it because to stop is seen as an admission of guilt?

The other day, Bill O'Reilly, the host of some program on FOX, indulged in a little rant, referring to bloggers as:
a bunch of left wing losers who were picked while in school and slinging the BS that you do somehow makes you feel better because your never had parents that supported you.Some people were puzzled because it didn't seem to make any sense. But, if you assume that, as usual, O'Reilly, a Republican was ascribing to someone else (transferring) his own perception of how the world should be, it seems pretty straight forward. Bill O'Reilly thinks that people, who were advanced through their educational achievements, rather than via a trust-fund from their parents, as the people he envies are, are as angry as he has a right to be. He's intuited that trust-fund babies are angry and sympathizes, but probably doesn't know why.

Of Pirates and Parasitic Predators
You Are Being Lied to About Pirates
Johann Hari's report is one of many referred to in a KOS diary, outlining the predatory parasites infesting the waters off the Horn of Africa. His introductory paragraph runs as follows: Who imagined that in 2009, the world's governments would be declaring a new War on Pirates? As you read this, the British Royal Navy - backed by the ships of more than two dozen nations, from the US to China - is sailing into Somalian waters to take on men we still picture as parrot-on-the-shoulder pantomime villains. They will soon be fighting Somalian ships and even chasing the pirates onto land, into one of the most broken countries on earth. But behind the arrr-me-hearties oddness of this tale, there is an untold scandal. The people our governments are labeling as "one of the great menace of our times" have an extraordinary story to tell -- and some justice on their side.

Anticipatory Warfare--Gift of the Mafia?
When George Herbert Walker Bush famously announced the New World Order, I naively thought he meant that from then on, January 1991, the nations of the globe would purchase and pay for what they wanted from others, rather than attempt to take them by force. The Saddam Husseins of the world were to be taught that lesson and no more would the invasion of another country be countenanced.

Air Force--Assassins and Sundries
Every now and then it seems advisable to check in on our United States Air Force, currently being directed by Michael B. Donley in his second tour as Secretary, having been approved by the Senate on October 2, 2008 after the prior Secretary was canned by Robert Gates.
No doubt, Secretary Donley is not responsible for the continuing turmoil nor the persistent aspirations to grandeur.
