2007-10-21 17:27 Naming Names at Gitmo
Well into the night of Sunday, Jan. 2, 2005, lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz sat alone at his desk in the headquarters of the American detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, consumed with a new project. He often worked late. From the time Diaz enlisted in the Army as a 17-year-old high-school dropout, hard work had been his ticket. He had earned his college degree while serving as an artillery sergeant and then completed law school a semester early, driving a mail truck on the weekends. In 10 years as …

2007-10-19 12:25 Interning with Christian Lacroix
This is an entry written by one of our frequent visitors Katy Robinson, who was tenacious enough to have pursued the lofty goal of getting an internship with a haute couturier in Paris. In addition to this entry, she kept a near daily journal when she was there, quaint snapshots of her time in France. She says to please overlook the typing errors you'll find there; the french keyboards are a little different. Currently, she lives with her husband Eric in St. Louis MO. Thanks Katy! ------------- …

2007-10-15 14:58 Conspicuous Correlation: September 2007
Last Friday, the Commerce Department released their monthly Retail Sales Report for September which continued to show an interesting correlation between declining consumer spending, particularly on discretionary items, and the decline in home values. As in past months, I have isolated the primary discretionary retail sales categories into a single œdiscretionary retail sales series, and then charted the year-over-year percentage changes since 2000. I then added the year-over-year percentage ch …

2007-10-15 13:37 Top Officials too Afraid to Admit America is Kicking Ass
Yup, it's a Catch-22. If politicians say Al-Qaeda in Iraq is severely crippled, they risk exploitation by the MSM when an aberrant suicide bombing occurs. If they keep quiet about all of it, they risk exploitation by the MSM in the guise of an "Iraq is a quagmire" hit piece ... Politics be damned! - To our brave men and women fighting in Iraq, I say, "Job well done!!!" Al-Qaeda In Iraq Reported Crippled Many Officials, However, Warn Of Its Resilience By Thomas E.

I don't need to list them here, you all know what they are as well as I do.

2007-10-14 15:43 Why are those properties so cheap
After my " And the Winner is.. ." post yesterday, I got alot of questions asking why those properties were so cheap. I apologize for not addressing this in my earlier posts. The median home price in Atlanta is $197,000 so why are these properties so cheap They are not in the best neighborhood. Alot of people, given the choice, would not live in the area. Due to the proximity to downtown Atlanta, I feel the neighborhoods will be revitalized within a few years. There was alot of mortgage fraud in …

Ten months after the announcement of the new counterterrorism strategy in Iraq -- often misleadingly referred to as œThe Surge -- and four months after the last combat brigade was positioned and major operations against al Qaeda and the Shia extremist groups began in mid-June, the US military can point to real results in the security field. Violence has dropped in Iraq, and dropped significantly. The Washington Post laid out the evidence of the drop in violence in Iraq …
