Petreaus out.

This bit of news highlights again something really screwed up about US politics. He slept with someone? BFD. He obviously knew how to keep it discrete-and since he did, its nobody's business but his...

Friday Night in Zurich.

Got up this morning and the S.O. and I drove to Zurich. It's interesting what happens along the way. Driving down the autobahn to Singen-Porsches and Mercedes will run you down at 180KM per hour. As...

Swiss Miss

And we are back. After our day in Zurich-we stayed in a hotel and then got up the next morning and drove to Interlaken. Which was a great drive-albeit taxing as it went over the mountains. But then...

You know you have hit the big time

When even the Taiwanese go after you. My friends over at NMA have decided to make a video about the Petreaus Scandal:     I still say-it's all Mrs Petreaus' fault. Either hack the program-or be gone....

The real Petreaus problem.

"The issue at Tailhook is not that we took a few liberties with our female party guests. We did." Just have to do one more Petraeus post. And its not to condemn him for slicing off what appears to be a...

The 215 Km Lunch

The S.O. and I drove up to Frankfurt yesterday. To have lunch at a restaurant named Fujiwara. It is in Sachsenhausen which is across the Main river from downtown Frankfurt. Nihongo is spoken there. In...

Finally-a miracle has happened.

Our long national nightmare is over ( at least for this election cycle). The worthless piece of human excrement know as Allen West has finally recognized the obvious, namely that he lost and will no...

Better to laugh than to cry.

At least in Israel anyway-its a way to keep one's spirits up till Hamas finally gets the message that shooting missiles at Israelis is a shitty way to advance their cause. I am a daily reader of...

Breitbart still sucks

Charles Johnson has observed on several occasions that while the late, not so dearly departed, Andrew Breitbart was well and truly one of the United States' biggest morons-the children who write in his...

Wistful, on a sunny Saturday morning.

While I was out

It has been a busy week and had no time to post. Pretty successful round of meetings this week and then a side trip to go see my father. We set out to return to Deutschland tomorrow, hopefully to...

Return trip

The S.O. and I had to take separate flights home. She was on Lufthansa and I was on United.   I figured the S.O. would have had the better deal on Lufthansa-but as is typical for her, she found a way...

So how was my day at work?

Oh you know, the usual delights. What was the number of that truck driving school again? There are some days I really envy truck drivers. When I was back in the US in DC-I met a lot of people who have...

Talk about karma.

Got in the car this morning, as I do every workday morning and prepared to head out to work. The car has an I-pod jack to connect up the I-Pod. The I-Pod is set to random so it plays anything in a...

Christmas 2012

Santa-san  came! Well not really, Santa Claus doesn't really stop at our house anymore-and the S.O. and I could barely muster up any energy to shop for each other, either. What she wants-I cannot...
