On My Mind: Two Tales of a Killing
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/05/two-tales-of-killing.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. Two Tales of a Killing. I have been studying the Sy Hersch account of the Osama bin Laden raid, against the account provided by the Obama administration, and I have to say that the former is somewhat more believable. Critics of Hersch cite the lack of any named sources, but as to sources for the administration’s story we have only itself, so …. Well, yes; throwing allies under the bus is what this nation does best. Or be undetectable by radar. Sy Hersch claims we pulled it off bec...

On My Mind: Still Selling Bridges
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/05/still-selling-bridges.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. We apparently pulled off a commando raid in cooperation with the Syrian Army and killed an Islamic State oil minister this week. On George Stephanopoulos this morning various pundits, including Dianne Feinstein, opined that the raid was a complete success which signals that we are winning the war against the Islamic State, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh or whatever name it is being addressed by these days. Even though it is being built by China in the China Sea. We argue that the base is “...

On My Mind: Hello Kettle, This Is Pot
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/04/hello-kettle-this-is-pot.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Hello Kettle, This Is Pot. Self awareness is not an American national trait, and most certainly is not something commonly displayed by American leaders in foreign affairs. I often wonder what the people of other nations think when they hear, for instance, our president declare that Venezuela presents a “grave and immediate existential threat”. Or when they hear Secretary of State John Kerry advise us in a PBS interview. And then there is Obama’s recent complaint. Just because we h...

On My Mind: Saturday Tidbits
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-saturday-tidbit.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. Paul Krugman addresses the Apple watch. "I have no special expertise here,". He says, and goes on to say, "But what the heck; I might as well put my own thoughts out there.". Don't we all, Paul, don't we all. Danica Patrick was on the show Chopped. At 7:05 AM Permalink. It must have been celebrity chef or guest chef week. I do like that show, although I havent watched it recently. Ill have to look that one up. No comment on Mr. Krugman.

On My Mind: She's Better At Cooking
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/04/shes-better-at-cooking.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. She's Better At Cooking. Stock car racing pundits were all agog that Danica finished ninth last week at Bristol, and were so hysterical over that feat that some were predicting that she will "be in the championship Chase". At the end of the year. Never mind that she did it by running 18th with thirty laps remaining in the race, having one car pass her and ten cars in front of her crash. At 5:34 PM Permalink.

On My Mind: Paul Krugman is an Idiot #6,375
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/05/paul-krugman-is-idiot-6375.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Paul Krugman is an Idiot #6,375. Paul Krugman produced a column yesterday. Regarding manufacturing employment and its relationship the trade deficit which is so filled with muddy and downright delusional thinking that it’s hard not to conclude that he hasn’t had a stroke or brain aneurysm and simply become brain dead. He begins by giving the opinion that people who believe that “US manufacturing has disappeared because it has all moved to China and Mexico”. Aside from a deficit i...

http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/05/it-sounds-good-but.html
Saturday, May 02, 2015. It Sounds Good, But. Hillary Clinton uttered a campaign line on Baltimore which is one of those things that sounds really good. "Without the mass incarceration that we currently practice, millions fewer people would be living in poverty,". She said. "It's time to end the era of mass incarceration.". But does it really make any sense? Does It actually address the problem? She reveals the typical political “thinking”. At 8:09 AM Permalink. Maybe she was thinking mass arrests? What s...

Tuesday, May 12, 2015. My father died 40 days before his 72nd birthday. I have now reached a point 36 days before my 72nd birthday, so I have now outlived my father. I know that is statistically insignificant, but. At 7:18 AM Permalink. Congratulations, I think it does mean something to you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Diego, CA.

http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/04/now-she-speaks.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Hillary Clinton says that we have to stop the "age of mass incarceration.". Interesting. In several decades of public service she has never once shown any objection to the frequency with which we imprison our population, and has even spoken favorably of the "war on drugs". Which is the primary cause of that "mass incarceration.". Now, in the first week of her campaign for president she is suddenly appalled that we imprison a higher percentage of our population than does Russia.

On My Mind: Football Tidbits
http://billsandiego.blogspot.com/2015/04/football-tidbits.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. So, the Eagles have signed Tim Tebow for a one-year deal. The mind sort of boggles, but considering that he will be behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez, and the head coach is Chip Kelly. Who knows? I have always liked Philip Rivers, and now he shows us that he is a man of good taste, discernment and perspicacity. He says that he does not want to sign a long term contract with the Chargers because he doesn't want to live in Los Angeles if the team moves there. At 9:58 PM Permalink.
