Despite a slight throbbing headache due to abstinence from my usual cups of morning tea on my second day of fasting, I feel motivated to address an observation made by a fellow Muslim at an Iftar in a Pakistani restaurant in Islamabad many years ago.

Kellogg Brown & Root Services, Inc., Houston, Texas, was awarded a $313,000,000 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. The award will provide for the Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program base life support services in Iraq in support of the Department of State.

We pay special attention to the so-called “anti-imperialist” camp’s great betrayal of the Libyan people and how, through ignorance, stupidity, dogmatism, naivety and greed for Gaddafi’s money, these faux “leftists” turned their backs on the Libyan people and supported the murderous Gaddafi regime.

It takes more than filling out an application or sending in a resume to land a job these days. In the down economy, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier has made it a mission to give those out of work the tools they need to find success.

If you haven't had it with all politicians, you had better get stop smoking that "wacky weed"

An arm that lifts up to 250 pounds, capable of transferring someone from a wheelchair to a couch. A robotic attachment that opens doors and microwaves. A small motor that gives wheelchair users an extra boost as they push forward.

Although Pakistan has remained tied to USA since early 1950s and never shirked from volunteering its services whenever the US asked for, but the relations between the two never matured into long lasting strategic relationship.

If 'justice for all' were more than misty sentiment appended to a perfunctory 'pledge of allegiance,' H.R. 2634 — a bill seeking broad and long delayed remedial action on behalf of all Vietnam Era victims of Agent Orange — would sail through Congress and gain swift approval from the President.

Talk about taking a bite too big to chew; or overloading one's hummingbird ass with an alligator mouth.

A real discussion is needed, simply to get some of the liberal left back to earth. Well meaning people are being hoodwinked into taking the wrong side. The Libya "sideshow" has been used to end any effective antiwar movement to stop Afghanistan, a very real slaughter. This isn't by accident. There are certainly ways to defend Gaddafi, especially when worse is happening in Syria and Bahrain, Israel and Gaza also and nothing is being done.

Many of my fellow Obama supporters contend that the president can only do so much, which is absolutely true. But what he can do is use the bully pulpit of the presidency to educate the people, which he’s failing miserably at. The entire GOP agenda is based on flat-out lies, the blatant corruption of facts, and a deviation from reality that’s so severe that even a child could see it if someone would just take the time to explain it. So why isn’t Obama doing that?

The Israelis, young and old, hitting the streets in numbers reminiscent of Tahir Square in Egypt, don't really understand why the world is looking at them. Massive demonstrations, initially in Tel Aviv, protesting government failures to provide basic services despite the $30,000 per person Israel receives in "foreign aid" and allowances from the United States. A nation of professionals, Nobel Prize winners, one of the world's largest arms exporters, a nation that has imported nearly 1 million "guest workers," can't make ends meet, or so it tells its people.

What can we do to those who are killing us; and, for those no longer breathing, those already killed?

“Why aren’t the young people out protesting? Why aren’t they going nuts over what’s happening? Why aren’t they going after these fucking CEOs?”

Retired Army 1st Sgt. Renee Floyd wasn't about to let a disability stop her from realizing her dream of having her own business.

No one knows exactly what combined to create these problems, but it is believed to be a combination of experimental vaccines they took “voluntarily” (Yeah sure) to resist chemical weapons, but which actually made them more sensitive to them, exposure to these chemicals when the weapons were blown up (What did they expect would happen to the chemicals when then were blown up) desert parasites, and diseases that Americans are not normally exposed to and have no natural defense against.

Bring the Army home and close the friggin' borders totally, "shoot to kill" totally. Freeze all assets held by Federal Reserve banks. If any (almost all) those banks are found to be foreign owned, declare all relationships with them to be inconsistent with our constitution. America will no longer pay banks, particularly foreign owned, to profit on our debt, sell us our own money and do so in direct violation of our laws.
