VERY PROPHETIC QUOTE FROM GLENN REYNOLDS:From June 2008:"I can think of no better reason to vote against Obama than the prospect of an administration where any criticism of the President is treated as racism."Yep.

VERY SCARY STUFF...."US Loses Most Jobs At Fastest Rate in History Under Obama"Link here. The graphs are actually...terrifying.I generally kept quiet because I didn't know how much to blame Bush for our current economic mess, but it's now obvious that the "stimulus" package is an economy-killer.

IS CYBERSPACE JUST A LITTLE TOO PUBLIC?I have a Twitter account, which apparently a LOT of people swear by as the "next big thing." I approached it with a more jaundiced eye. Anybody can check it out at http://twitter.com/halscrawford, but don't expect any more insights than I would put out here - at least not yet. One wag I read about said "it's a great chat utility."

A NEW PROJECT! YEA!Tonight I’m at Java Joe’s, a coffee bar located in downtown Des Moines, where my current assignment is. This is Irish Music Tuesday, and several musicians are playing Irish reels and other selections. Today at lunchtime I got my shoes shined. As I sat down, I asked him how he was doing, and he said, “Well, I have to tell you. I’m doing great for a man of 95.” I was amazed

NEWSPAPERS…RIP?Speaking of the news, newspapers have been on the skids for years now. Part of the problem has been the decline of quality, accuracy and fairness that newspapers are supposed to uphold.But with the rise of the Internet, and the means of getting your news for virtually free, the old standby sources of information have had to struggle as readers depart for other pastures.It’s nice to

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!And goodbye to 2008. Not a terrible year, but certainly plenty of ups and downs. 2008 was my first full year as an independent LLC consultant. And business hasn't been bad. The economy looks very daunting for 2009, and I hope things go well this year as well. I've got one daughter in college, you know; and having to save for the second one as well.And I have a lot of

A COOL WEBSITE....This site lists ships that are anywhere in the world, where they're going, plus lots of other cool information. They are ships equipped with AIS (Automatic Identification System), and they are used for collision avoidance and emergency locating.There is a downside - pirates out of Somalia are also using the system to pinpoint their targets, using the same technology.

MUST...CONTROL...GAG REFLEX...Time Magazine is just gone gone. Here are the first words of reporter Nancy Gibbs defining the Obama Victory:Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope.Other Democratic spokesmen have talked about how Obama will 'rule' the United States.Banana Republic, here we come.

MARK STEYN'S LATEST...I don't need Barack Obama's help to "spread the wealth around." I spread my wealth around every time I hire somebody, expand my business, or just go to the general store and buy a quart of milk and loaf of bread.Note that he's talking about spreading the wealth to people who earn it.

THE DAY AFTER....Well, surprising no one, Barack Obama is our President Elect. Congratulations to him and best of luck to his administration. He will be inheriting a struggling economy, and a rising tide of Islamo-fascist terrorism in the Middle East and Europe. With 51% of the vote, he doesn’t have a mandate. But he’ll have a compliant Congress ready to do his bidding.I’m not happy about

I WAS ON NEAL BOORTZ THIS MORNING!Hardly had to wait, too. I call in about every 5 years, so it was time. I wanted to talk about the Democrat-backed bill that would create unions from open elections. Currently to become a union, there is a secret ballot. Union organizers want to do away with all that stuff. Intimidation factor? Nahhhh....Anyway, here's how I opened with Neal:ME: Hi, Neal.

OH, NOW I FEEL BETTER ABOUT VOTING FOR OBAMA....Obama will explain how he will spend the $700 billion bailout money, on Wednesday.

BIDEN BOTTLED UP...After some questionable performances, such as engaging in an interview that finally asked some straight questions about Obama and campaign, and after well, talking without a script, again, VP candidate Joe Biden has been leashed.I think if I knew Biden personally, politics aside, I would like him. As a politician, though, he's a bit clueless.

Why, none other than the composer of the most memorable song of my childhood: The Batman Theme!In the LA Times' Obituary (linked above), he says it took him a month to write the theme.

BUSH'S SPEECH THIS MORNING...Yeah, I caught it, while waiting on a new battery for my car. The most inspiring words since Jimmy Carter told us to turn down our thermostats from his fireside chats.I don't know, I guess I'm still just MASSIVELY ticked off about this bailout. "The Federal Reserve has injected hundreds of billions of dollars into the system...?" And if this is such a great idea,

WALL STREET BURNS WHILE CONGRESS CONGRATS ITSELF...Thanks for nothing, Congress (and Mr. President). In spite of Rep. Linder's efforts, a pork-laden bailout plan passes Congress - and President Bush signs the bill quickly. Totally ignoring my warnings (see below). Wall Street, knowing that bending the rules of the Free Market and Economics 101 doesn't do them any good in the long run, reacted

CUBA!!!Right now I’m flying over Cuba! Around 32000 feet up, barely six miles over this communist country. Hard to see a lot of details, because of partly cloudy skies, but I can make out farms, a few roads, and the occasional village. I see absolutely no traffic on the roads. Ah, the worker’s paradise.I’m not stopping here, of course. I’m on my way to Jamaica for a quick project.

All alcohol will be banned, and separate lines will be set up to segregate male and female riders. There will be a strict dress code (burquas, what fun!) and prayer

The war on terror has been more about stomping cockroaches than destroying the other guy's army. In a way, we have the

MORE ON MIERS:The more we learn about Harriet Miers, the scarier things get. Look, I think that Roe v. Wade was bad law. I think that, given sane reflection and consideration, it will eventually be overturned. (Note to abortion 'fans' - if you want to legalize it, you should have to do it the legislative way like everybody else.) Miers signed support for the Human Life Amendment back in Texas

OH, NO.....Just got word that Katrina has targeted New Orleans for her next landfall, and she's now a Category Five Hurricane. This is serious.A hurricane strike in New Orleans should be considered more serious than an earthquake in LA. New Orleans is below sea level.

Lauderdale it swept southward past Miami (and me); (2) It strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category One as soon as it came ashore - totally tossing out the rule that hurricanes start to dissipate when they hit land; (3) High speed wind bands accompanied the northern side of the hurricane, while massive

KATRINA HURRICANE REPORTI think the worst is past now. The hurricane actually took a dip southward toward Miami, and I think I literally went out to dinner during the eye of the storm, which was a little eerie. Winds mostly around 20-40 mph when I went out, with mostly drizzly rain.Went under an overpass under construction on the way out; it collapsed about an hour later when the winds picked up

FORECAST FOR MIAMI: I'M GONNA GET DRENCHED...Here is the latest view out of my office window, looking at Miami Airport:Raining on and off right now, and the clouds are sweep north-to-south (left to right in the picture, as this is a NE view). Fun fun fun. Maybe I'll wear a swimsuit to work tomorrow.

THE REALLY GOOD NEWS ABOUT BUSH'S REELECTION... ...is that Bush is in an excellent position to appoint some excellent Supreme Court justices. With an even stronger Republican majority in the Senate and with obstructionist Minority Leader Tom Daschle out of the picture, we actually have a chance to put some balance back into the courts. Liberal justices have held off on retirement, hoping to

NO GLOATING HERE.... It really could have turned out the other way. I'm in South Florida this week, and didn't get a chance to vote before I left, much to the griping and complaining of certain stalwart Republicans ("It's okay," I kept repeating, "the Republicans will carry Georgia!"). I would have been in for a lynching if Bush had lost by one vote. Fortunately I called Georgia correctly.

MORE ON THE DRAFT… It’s the non-issue that refuses to go away, thanks now to CBS. They spotlight a “Republican Mother” who will vote for Kerry if Bush plans to bring back the draft. The Media Research Center is all over the case. But there’s more that MRC didn’t catch. Apparently the mother in question, Beverly Cocco is a chapter president for People Against the Draft. This group isn’t

FROM ONE .ORG TO ANOTHER - MOVEON! The folks at moveon.org are upset because their beloved presidential candidate isn't looking good in the polls. Their solution? Shoot the messenger: If John Kerry believed in the Gallup poll, he might as well give up. A couple of weeks ago, a highly publicized Gallup poll of “likely voters” showed President Bush with a staggering 14-point lead. But wait

REUTERS - BLECH... I can't say I'm a big fan of international news agency Reuters. Their articles are slanted with a left-wing bias, and there's an anti-American taint to many of their stories (they're British). Of course, they think they're fair and balanced. My biggest complaint by far, however, is that they don't know what a terrorist is. Because of an apparent unfamility with the English

WHOO-HOO! I NAILED ONE! Four days ago I suggested that Democrats were hinting that the draft might be restored just to scare up votes. Turns out I was prescient.... WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Sept. 22, 2004 — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, citing the war in Iraq and other trouble spots in the world, raised the possibility Wednesday that a military draft could be reinstated if voters

WHITHER KERRY? I’ve wanted to write about John Kerry for a long time, but haven’t had the time to (and don’t now). But let’s recap the current campaign, shall we? John Kerry beats out a number of other candidates with questionable qualifications for office to get the Democratic nomination for President. He spent some 4 months there, as a commander of a swiftboat patrolling the rivers of Vietnam.

BUSH TRYING TO RESTORE THE DRAFT??? I get word that one of my daughter's friends is worried about the draft if Bush wins in November. The proof? This article, from the prestigious "Earth Crash Earth Spirit" website. It's an article written by a discredited senator (anyone remember George McGovern?) who didn't come close to getting elected president. It was published 18 months ago in an obscure,

Well, I had just pressed the "No" button. If you press that button while the phone

CHENEY UNLEASHED:On the campaign trail in Dayton, OH, VP Cheney sticks it to Kerry regarding the war on terror (kudos NRO):Senator Kerry has also said that if he were in charge he would fight a "more sensitive" war on terror.

ABU GHRAIBI was going to talk about the prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Enough indignant condemnation – the world knows we’re upset about it. But let’s keep things in perspective:These guys were prisoners. That place was never Club Med. Bad things, justified or not, happen in prisons. The best way to stay out of them is to just do the right thing. The ‘torture’ that was going on is bad, shameful,

"Hamas Vows to Avenge Israel's Killing of Rantissi" Okay, I'm curious - what is Hamas going to do that it hasn't already sworn to do since it's inception? Kill every Jew? Oops.

BUSH'S PRESS CONFERENCE He's not The Great Communicator, but he was earnest and plain-spoken. The idiotic question of the night (which was presented in many different forms) was, should he apologize for 9/11? What a stupid question. If your house is broken into, do you expect the chief of police to come over and apologize that a burglar robbed your house? Are the police really to blame when
