Keeping Up With the Blogses: July 2007
http://blogses-michael.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With the Blogses. Monday, July 23, 2007. Ordinarily, I'd think being the commissioner of a professional sports league would be a pretty cool thing. You get to go to all the games, hang out with stars and make tons of money. But, not last week, which might go down as the darkest moment in professional sports history, if you were to combine all the scandals from all the leagues that hit the papers. And, the topper? NBA basketball, where David Stern is under serious heat after it was revealed a r...

Keeping Up With the Blogses: October 2011
http://blogses-michael.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With the Blogses. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. It Would be Nice to Have a Month Off to Protest. I have, more or less, been working since I had a paper route beginning at age 12. My parents were separated and mom wasn't exactly shelling out the bucks to satisfy the whims of a pre-teenager (soon to be teenager). So, I got a job. The problems in our current economies were not merely the faults of banks and government agencies, although they certainly played their part. They are also the fault o...

Keeping Up With the Blogses: August 2011

Keeping Up With the Blogses. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Just a Little Off the Sides. When my wife was pregnant with our first child, we attended a Lamaze class. During the course of the sessions, the issue of circumcision arose. I don't remember the circumstances - whether it was part of the actual program or just a question raised by one of the other three couples attending. In reality, what drives the anti-circumcision crowd is they are convinced they are right and will use whatever means at their dis...

Keeping Up With the Blogses: February 2011

Keeping Up With the Blogses. Monday, February 28, 2011. Idiocy of Titanic Proportions. It is absolutely incredible to me that almost a decade after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States still doesn't have a clue about security. This morning, my wife and I returned from a short visit to Las Vegas. We had a very nice few days, saw some shows, wandered the strip, wined and dined, enjoyed a brief sojourn free of kids and did a little shopping. So, what happens? The absolute, only. Threat...

Keeping Up With the Blogses. Monday, September 5, 2011. Does "Fuck You" Qualify as an Apology? As its regressive government completes Turkey's transition from secular democracy to islamic craphole, it took an important step this week - downgrading its relations with Israel and expelling Israeli diplomats from the country. So, rather than make amends to. Israel for essentially underwriting an attack on a country that had been mostly an ally, the Turks demanded an apology from. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Keeping Up With the Blogses: Let Loose the Unicorns of Diplomacy

Keeping Up With the Blogses. Friday, May 20, 2011. Let Loose the Unicorns of Diplomacy. And, then he spent five minutes or so on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is, of course as is always the case where the word "Israel" is found, that portion of the speech which dominated the following commentary and headlines (at least in North America). The I/P conflict can wait. Egyptians, Syrians, Tunisians, Libyans, etc. weren't/aren't out in the streets because of the plight of the palestinians. T...The I/P c...
