list of choices for Barack's Obama's running mate.
Maybe Liev Schreiber could play him.
Let's just hope the role ends in the "fall" of 2008... *wink!*

Who could play Gov. Kaine in "the movie"...?
It's rumored that Gov. Tim Kaine (D-VA) is very close to the top of the
list of choices for Barack's Obama's running mate.
Maybe Liev Schreiber could play him.
Let's just hope the role ends in the "fall" of 2008... *wink!*

Mike Huckabee on Paul Harvey News (as guest host)
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was guest host on Paul Harvey News & Commentary this past Tuesday and Wednesday (both morning and noon time).
He did a terrific job.

Did Israel assassinate Imad Mughniyeh?
(...and does Aaron Klein know something we don't?)
On April 3, 2008, Aaron Klein, the Jerusalem correspondent of WorldNet Daily and the author of the book "Schmoozing with Terrorists", appeared on the Point of View radio show, giving listeners the latest on Israel and the Middle East.
Mr. Klein's reports and analyses are always very interesting, but one thing he said (then quickly rephrased) really struck me. At the 36:42 point in the broadcast, host Kerby Anderson asked about what it's looking like in Israel. Here is the first part of Aaron's reply, with my emphasis added:
I'll tell you, normally I would say that it's just the usual craziness, but in the last 24 or 36 hours, Israel has really been concerned about the increased troop presence and movement along its northern border with Syria and with Lebanon.
Basically, about a month and a half ago, you right remember that Israel - it took out - and.. uh well... somebody assassinated a leader of Hezbollah, one of the the... most-wanted terrorist leaders in the world, actually. His name's Imad Mugniyeh.
The broadcast has since been removed from their archives, but I have posted a full copy at my Web site. Or you can listen to just the question and answer in a short (46-second) clip here.
Actually, the whole broadcast is interesting. Here's the synopsis from their archive page:
April 3, 2008 - Thursday
Topic(s): Book: Tragedy of American Compassion; Book: Schmoozing with Terrorists; Planned Parenthood's Racism; Gay Studies and Media Bias; America Concerned about Children's Future
Guest(s): Marvin Olasky, Author: Tragedy of American Compassion; Aaron Klein, Jerusalem Bureau Chief, World Net Daily, Author: Schmoozing with Terrorists
Topic(s): Book: Tragedy of American Compassion; Book: Schmoozing with Terrorists; Planned Parenthood's Racism; Gay Studies and Media Bias; America Concerned about Children's Future
Guest(s): Marvin Olasky, Author: Tragedy of American Compassion; Aaron Klein, Jerusalem Bureau Chief, World Net Daily, Author: Schmoozing with Terrorists
Aaron Klein is a frequent guest on many of my favorite shows, such as The John Batchelor Show, The Loftus Report, and The Tovia Singer Show, among others. I enjoy their work.
UPDATE Oct. 25, 2008
Caroline Glick's column from Sep. 18, 2008 in the Jerusalem Post seems to treat Israeli involvement as a foregone conclusion:
"As the assassination of Iran's terror master Imad Mughniyah in Damascus in February demonstrated, Israel has the capacity to carry out sensitive covert operations deep inside enemy territory."

Another hilarious quote from Ann Coulter
(from the full column here - emphasis is mine)
Another funny excerpt from Ann Coulter (I just love her dry sense of humor!)
Another funny excerpt from Ann Coulter (I just love her dry sense of humor!)
"We've been through this before: Should the military run the war or should the courts run the war?I guess you can't trust anybody these days! LMAO!
"I think the evidence is in.
"The patriotic party says we are at war, and the Guantanamo detainees are enemy combatants. Approximately 10,000 prisoners were taken on the battlefield in Afghanistan. Of those, only about 800 ended up in Guantanamo, where their cases have been reviewed by military tribunals and hundreds have been released.
"The detainees are not held because they are guilty; they're held to prevent them from returning to the battlefield against the US. Since being released, at least 30 Guantanamo detainees have returned to the battlefield, despite their promise to try not to kill any more Americans. I guess you can't trust anybody these days."

Evan Sayet on Democrat Motivation & the Effects of an Obama Presidency
.
This short (3:19) audio clip brings an interesting insight into Democrat motivation and decision-making as offered by guest Evan Sayet on a recent Shire Network News podcast.
Sayet also speculates on what the world would be like four years afterward if Obama were elected.
The latter subject is somewhat inspired by Michael Novak's National Review article "Barack Obama's America".
Very interesting, and hard (for me) to argue with!

Where is the World is Jalil Azad?
Where is the World is Jalil Azad? A recent article* in the Telegraph caught my interest. John Bolton, our former Ambassador to the United Nations, said that we should bomb Quds Force and Hezbollah terrorist training camps located inside Iran.
"Colonel Donald Bacon, a spokesman for the coalition in Baghdad, said captured fighters had told interrogators that thousands of Iraqi fighters were undergoing training in the Islamic Republic."
"The main camp is located near the town of Jalil Azad, near Tehran, according to coalition officials."
I thought it might be interesting to look at Jalil Azad on Google Earth, so I first set about to find it on a map. Google searches only turned up references to the Telegraph article, other reports citing it, and others commenting on it.
The one thing I didn't find was Jalil Azad! I dug deeper, but still came up dry.
I've written to several well-known commentators, bloggers, radio talk show hosts, the coalition in Iraq, and to the Telegraph.
Most did not reply, but those who did either just speculated or apparently sought to assure me or blow me off without informing me:
"(It's) possible this is the name of a base and not a town... let me ask around. My understanding is the bigger camps are closer to the border."
"Intelligence sources from Iranian Opposition forces have validated this training center outside of Tehran."
I've seriously considered writing snail mail to the Iranian interests section and to the People's Mujahedin of Iran (aka MEK, PMOI, and MKO) but I'm sure you can understand I'd worry about coming under unwanted scrutiny for my letters!I would think there would be a lot of interest in this town, and even bigger news if no one else could find it!
Am I the only person asking this question?!
If anybody out there knows anything, please let me know!
UPDATE
Thanks to some help via Google Groups, I found out there are two of them. One is close to Tehran and one 400 miles away, but closer to Iraq. The one outside Tehran is here:
Jalilabad, Iran

A Little About Me
.
I've been interested in politics, current events and world affairs for over 30 years (since my Freshman year of high school) thanks to my Civics teacher Mr. Tony Lawrence.
Quite often I would hang around after school to talk about current events and history with Mr. Lawrence, and we even went together to see a young Rep. Dan Quayle give a speech against the Panama Canal Treaty. Afterwards, I shook Quayle's hand and complimented him on his talk.
My interest in politics and especially world affairs led me to discover short-wave radio (SWL, as opposed to ham radio) which enabled me to listen to the official radio broadcast propaganda from countries all around the world. For a Cold War kid like me, it was a blast!
My parents had two old antique radios. There were upright models about four feet high, with nice wooden cabinets. One had pushbutton presets, and the other had a round dial with a handle that moved in a semi-circle to tune it. They received AM and short-wave bands. One night while messing around with them, I heard other countries... I was spellbound!
Then one day in the grocery store, I spotted a magazine called Radio-Electronics, which sported a cover story about improving your short-wave reception. I bought that issue and still have it. I bought the parts I needed from Radio Shack, and my first project flopped, but it led to an interest in electronics, which lasts to this day.
Needless to say, my project building skills got better!
For several years, I wrote a pro-gun newsletter turned newspaper column called "GunFax". That was very enjoyable, but the payoff never justified the time, so I recently put it on the shelf.
I've been an electronics technician for over 25 years, with diverse experience in industrial engineering, fabrication, prototype construction, circuit design and repair.
I am an independent electronics repair technician engaged in the repair of microwave oven and other control panels (circuit boards) for commercial customers and consumers nationwide. I specialize in microwave control panels with failed displays, dead units, and units whose cooktop / stovetop lights are not dead or stuck on. (See links below).
My other interests include fishing, the outdoors, small engine repair, and repairing and tinkering in my garage. As our kids stretch their wings, my wife and I are beginning to get out and enjoy ourselves a little. That's really nice.
