SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON LEAVES FOR ASIA TODAY
The larger issue of nuclear proliferation must be addressed in the talks between N. Korea and the rest of the civilized world. It is becoming more and more evident that N. Korea's nuclear tests were designed to assuage the doubts of the Syrians and Iranians whether the N. Korean atomic weapons are...

JURY OUT ON CONGRESS BUT WE FOUND A NEW PRESIDENT!
Yet another scenario in which Hillary Clinton becomes president. Here is what business thinks. First, as Peggy Noonan wrote earlier this month, the conclusion one hears from most "normal" American people is that the president "is in over his head, and out of his depth." Even most progressives agree...

LOOKING FOR A NEW PRESIDENT AND A NEW CONGRESS
Here is the reality of our current national political setting. Shortly, by end of summer, voters will start paying attention to candidates and issues related to the upcoming November 2010 congressional elections.

SO LET THIS BE A WARNING, GO EARLY IN THE MORNING, YOU'LL NEVER RUE THE DAY
Jolly Jeff totally helped me revisit my teen years. Let me explain. My elder sister was a local night club entertainer in Atlanta during the 1960's. A few times the family traveled there for moral support (from Lexington), but she didn't need it. Each time we visited there was a line out the door of...

MY NANOGENERIAN MOTHER REPORTED WHAT THE WEATHER WAS IN PA.
I spoke with my mother again, as I do every week. She's 92.8 years old and feels pretty good. Getting up and moving around the house. She is living with my sisters, rotating: six months of warm weather near Pittsburg, six months cold weather near Tucson. She was laughing about how everyone in the...

THE PRESIDENT IS NOT IN CHARGE OF THE CONSPIRACY, BUT LEADING THE COVERUP
Are you current with your episodes of "24"? It seems a peace deal between Iran and the USA, brokered by Russia, is eminent. Iran has a democratically elected president, supposedly the only good guy in the Islamic world. Russia has him assassinated. Unfortunately, Russia went a little too far. It...
