I left the Virginia GOP convention because I had voted (for Bishop Jackson for the fourth time!) and I had neglected my family enough and did not choose to see the acceptance speech. But I missed the excitement with the allegations that the Snyder campaign had made up endorsements of key people to try to [...]

Looks like Botswana will have a medal in the Olympics for the first time ever! It’s unofficial but Nijel Amos won silver in the men’s 800. Alas, the Americans took fourth and fifth (Symmonds). I was not able to find any Botswana media yet on the win. Give it a day or two. But I [...]

Here’s a website from a Botswana newspaper about the five Olympic athletes carrying the hopes of a nation in the 2012 Games in London.

I have been playing catch up on several fronts and have yet to find the time to put down a few thoughts on a gathering last week at the US Capitol put together by Virginia Congressman Robert Hurt. I have met Congressman Hurt once or twice before, but only briefly. And I believe the first [...]

We heard some great advice from the state chairman of the [...]

Well, here we are less than a week from CPAC 2011, and the excitement is in the air. Especially in the Blogosphere. Alcohol will be involved, of that I am sure. Last year, several CPAC bloggers were accused of BWI (Blogging While Intoxicated), but none were ever convicted. Between now and next Thursday morning may [...]

The recent Swedish elections did not register on my radar this time. I tend to skeptical of governance and elections in Scandinavia as socialists tend to dominate. However, my excitement grew as I read this Spectator (UK) article on how the conservatives won reelection: This week Fredrik Reinfeldt, a bald and deeply dull 45-year-old who [...]
