If at First you Don’t Succeed – Surrender!(0)

Let me start, lest I be accused of being utterly out of touch with reality, by acknowledging that the Bush Administration has made mistakes, many and grievous, in its prosecution of the Iraq War. Chief among these—and this is, by no means, intended as an exhaustive list—is the intelligence failure concerning WMD, the elimination, top to bottom, of Ba’ath Party functionaries (the only people who knew how to do ANYTHING in Iraq), the total misunderstanding (or non-understanding) of the ancient hatred between Sunni and Shiite factions and Kurds, the unwillingness of rank and file Iraqis to embrace Western-style secular democratic values, the lack of preparedness of our military to serve as a police force, as opposed to a fighting force, and generally inadequate military planning, in trying to fight what has proven to be a difficult war “on the cheap.”

Having said all that, and further conceding that reasonable… Read the rest entry…

Apply Your Consumer Rights Using California Lemon Laws!(0)

California lemon laws are special laws which are made in California to protect the customers of California who are feeling to be cheated from the manufacturers, dealers or sellers of lemon products. Lemon products are those products which don’t perform same as they are said to be at the time of purchase. There is much fraudulent kind of sellers who do this kind of things and sells the bad quality product with the word that the product is best. When a customer buys these products then he feels cheated because the dealer takes the money and on the behalf of that the customer gets a lemon product. It really pains and consumers want either their money or similar product with the best quality. The California Lemon Law is basically made for the automobiles and generally known as California ‘s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It can be applied to all… Read the rest entry…

Hope This Middle East War is a Bad Dream(0)

I had a disturbing dream about war, politics, and the result of the 2008 Presidential election the other day. Like many dreams, it was created from a combination of current events like the war in Iraq and the 2008 Presidential election mixed with a healthy dose of United States foreign policy insecurity.

It is interesting how the mind takes this combination of thoughts and creates a narrative and formulates a story. Let me share the dream with you, with the prospect that it will remain just a bad dream. Hopefully the next President of the United States will be very successful and the end of the war in Iraq will ensure a lasting peace in the Middle East.

In the dream, the front page of the New York Times, on this warm late August morning of 2009, is full of murky Middle East headlines. It is very… Read the rest entry…

Political Yard Signs Placement Strategies(0)

Often volunteers are asked to place political yard signs at specified locations for a candidate but are not provided tips on the best way to place them to maximize their effectiveness. Utilizing some important tips can increase the visibility of the sign and improve the chances of people remembering the name on the sign.
The Proper Sign Angle
Placing the signs at approximately a 90 degree angle to the nearby road will allow drivers to begin reading the election signs as soon as possible. Drivers often only have a few seconds of time to glance at a sign and digest the message, so placing election signs at an optimal angle increases the chances that they will be read.
Don’t try and grab the attention of all the traffic on the street. When election signs are placed at corners, place them so they are ideally situated for… Read the rest entry…
