Since this is interesting…

Thanks Mallery.

I often come across interesting news and information sources and thought maybe it might be of value of we could share some of them.  I would suggest nothing that was too narrow in focus or too partisan on issues.  If there is a partisan slant then it should at least be somewhat subtle, polite and humourous if possible.

Some of my historic favourites are:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/ -  No doubt the best source of weapons systems and general military/intelligence related topics.  Clear the cookie for this site to get past the number of article restrictions.

This is a new one to me, some of his views are opposite of mine but he does have humour to me.  This came to me when surfing and was a link to US natural gas production.  That article was here:

It seemed well written so I checked out the blog and liked his style, but it’s not been fully vetted yet.  I would be considered leftist in the US (on some issues that seem to be hot button and rightist on economic issues) but his recent comments on David Gregory et al were pretty funny

This website of course, it should be everyone’s goto site!

I loved Avalon Hill.

Does anyone else find this show interesting? Just a taste, this is one of the more interesting moments I’ve seen on TV in a while.

BBC caught some underwater video of this fish recently.  They apparently are rarely seen unless they are dead or dying.

wow, I remember Moses from back in the day. :-)

Best of the 20th Century

Ronald Reagan - inspirational leader, made americans proud, killed the USSR and Warsaw Pact threat, brought America back from the economic misery of the late 1960’s and 1970’s Dwight D. Eisenhower - a brilliant man who got things done FDR (War Years) - a leader when leadership was needed Richard Nixon - resignation overshadows the fact he was a good president Teddy Roosevelt - conservationist, expanded US influence in the world

Worst of the 20th Century

LBJ - Corrupt, Stupid, and Foolish…many Americans died for no reason under his leadership, the ‘Great Society’ was a complete failure. JFK - Corrupted by the Mob, Bay of Pigs failure, all flash no substance FDR (Depression Era) - Depression dragged on because of his inept policies Jimmy Carter - Wimp, Apologist, and Poor leader Herbert Hoover - Couldn’t breech the floodgates of the Depression

Whoever the “Jimmy Carter” fan is, is a complete moron. I don’t even have to explain the reasons why he was perhaps the least effective leader this country has ever had.
