"A Clear and Present Danger to the Political Left" - Judging from the screamng hysterical reaction, I'd say that Peggy Noonan has it absolutely right. -- FJD - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Excellent insight on Sarah Palin - Frank Derfler

If you have never visited this site, you should (it is NOT mine!) Interesting stuff. - Frank Derfler

I have an HP Printer sitting next to a Lexmark printer. They both lie, but the Lexmark is more aggressive in its falsehoods. I really really hate paying 5X the cost of the printer per year just for ink. This article gives you one hint and points you toward others. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

I think they even had to teach her to smile. She looks more "natural" when she scowls. I think scowling is her normal mode. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Over at the Information Dissemination Blog, a fine Website for any interested in current Naval activity, they are sifting reports that the Russian Missile Cruiser Moskva has put to sea in the face of the NATO naval activity (now apparently including Turkish ships) in the Black Sea off of Georgia. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

"Biden on Haditha In June 2006, straight-talking Joe Biden went on Meet the Press and demanded accountability from the administration for the so-called Haditha massacre.." read the whole thing. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

This is great stuff..,inspiration for my sequel to "A Glint in Time" - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

A Political Tech Success?? -- Not so much - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Interesting to see how Google is investing money. The nice thing about geothermal is that it is 24 x 7. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

This is an example of government that has gotten too big and out of control - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

I love it. This is the kind of thinking we need! Keep government out of it. Fusion for all. (Fusion for the Few "sounds" better, but it's not the right thought!) - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Oh yeah, there are the makings of MANY good stories here! - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

President Bush is supposed to make a statement at 11:15AM - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

A new map and comments on the fighting between Russia and Georgia. Be sure to read the comments posted because the people watching this site are pretty hi caliber. Not your usual rubes. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Fascinating comments. Clearly well informed people chiming in. Thanks for sharing! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

“Victor, what will happen when all these crazy people have to take over from us?” - Frank Derfler

This Blog is doing an excellent job of providing multisource information fusion regarding the conflict between Georgia and Russia. This situation could significantly impact our oil prices in the US and it could impact the presidential election... in many ways. This is a little too much like "The Guns of August" to even be funny. -- - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

When you see Edwards parading his "faith" on stage you realize that there is no end to his egotism. He thinks that no rules apply to him. He "didn't love her" and his wife's cancer was in remission at the time! Oh, so then it's okay! We dodged a bullet ... again. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Sorry to ruin your weekend, but this situation between Georgia and Russia should be at the top of every news broadcast.. not John Edwards.. This has the potential to drag us into a nasty situation. Georgia has troops in Iraq and had been our staunch friend. How will we pay them back? - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

The Obama hand salute! THIS is scary. IF you weren't afraid before, you should be now! - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

To me, it looks rather anal - Craig Eddy

This is very disturbing because Georgia has been a good friend to the US. Either we let our good friend down or we face the Russian Bear. Reminds me of the book, "The Guns of August" describing the start of the First World War. Oh shit, it's August! - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

"Buyer's Remorse" Indeed! And, of course, Bill Clinton is working in the background! - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Note that the Blogsphere has attacked this story with hundreds of comments.. mostly negative. CNNPolitics.com thinks that's dandy, of course, because all they want is hits. In fact, offshore drilling WILL impact the price of gas immediately because it will drive away speculators. We are at such a steep point in the hockeystick demand curve that any decrease in speculation will drop the price of oil significantly. Also, the left's argument that oil companies already have plenty of land ignores the fact that there is no oil in most of that land and where there is gas, like Destin Dome, they have been forbidden to take it out. Finally, the pollution argument is pure BS, Texas, LA, & MS have great beaches AND lots of revenue from oil and gas drilling. The beaches of Gulf Shores AL, near drilling rigs, are just as nice as Destin, FL where there is no drilling ... and no income! - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

This is Austin Bay, a smart guy, channeling the work of Cooper, another smart guy. Some of the comments on the story at townhall.com are also interesting. They range the spectrum. - Frank Derfler from Bookmarklet

Yeah man.. the US Military can work for the UN and wear those cool blue helmets .. and do peace stuff.. and we'll all feel good about it.. As usual, Vistor Davis Hanson hits the nail on the head. They just want us to be more... "nuanced" .. and speak French and stuff. - Frank Derfler

Yea, the keyboard has been one of the things holding me back but I'm almost over it. If the UI or an app allowed for keyboard use in landscape mode I think it would be much better since spacing appears to be the issue for me. - Mark Krynsky

And it takes too much of battery power to be usable on longer travels... - Daniel Schildt

"The study showed men who consumed more than two portions of soya-based foods a week had, on average, 41m fewer sperm per millilitre of semen than men who had never eaten soya products. The apparent fall in sperm count is unlikely to make healthy men infertile, but some experts said it could have a significant impact on those already with lower than average sperm counts. A sperm count of between 80m and 120m per ml is regarded as normal, while men who produce fewer than 20m sperm per ml are regarded as clinically subfertile." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

It makes sense. Soy is full of isoflavones that emulate female hormones, but it shouldn't be surprising that if soy by-products are used to treat females then it could have adverse effects on males. - Gabe
