Well, turns out my previous blog about Fox, though correctly linking to comments on the Forum issue, may have been based on bad information which got its bump most notably from AP. The whole story is convoluted but there continues to be misinformation and/or outright confusion starting when AP reported … Continue reading
The Wall Street Journal just ran an opinion article titled “Ron Beats Rudy?” In addition to candidates and other politician types, it mentions four people by name who have been instrumental in the Paul campaign in New Hampshire: Jim Forsythe, Keith Murphy, Kate Rick, and Jared Chicoine. I’ll give the … Continue reading
To the Sentinel: I hear a lot of campaign news relating to polling figures, fundraising, name recognition, or other elements of political action. Reporters tell us who they think can win or lose with words like “leader” or “longshot.” Are issues and the character of the candidates important anymore? I … Continue reading
I recently learned that Fox is so afraid of Ron Paul that they’re singling him out for exclusion in their upcoming (January 6th) candidate forum in New Hampshire. They have apparently invited Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, Romney, and Thompson, but not Paul and Hunter. This despite the fact that, in New … Continue reading

I woke up in the middle of the night after only a few hours of sleep. Ahh the joys of jet lag. I did make it to Tel Aviv okay. About 10 of us on the crew wanted to do a holy land tour so we’re leaving at 8:00 a.m. … Continue reading
After all the political content, I suppose it’s time to get back to the traveling life. This coming week, I’ll take my first trip to Israel. That will be the third new country I’ve visited this year (India and Switzerland got checked off earlier this year). It’s Christmas time so … Continue reading
