To sincere anti-war people on the left: do you finally recognize that you were played? Did you really expect the President to pursue a different foreign policy? I hope you’re awake now, and will make your views known to your darling administrator.
But the signs were available all along. Remember the “debates” in […]
Ron’s planning to deliver a lecture at USC (Columbia, South Carolina) this coming Monday.
And I plan to broadcast it live from my android phone, 3G permitting.
The broadcast will be right here at jessebickel.com, tentatively thanks to the neat little app from bambuser.com.
Don’t expect a better than 174-pixel-wide display, and crappy audio, and a fuzzy view […]
The President:
At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
I didn’t think about it at the time, but notice how he doesn’t even mention […]
This morning I saw a can of beans in a new light. Last night my buddy Sean had slapped the sticker on and I didn’t think much of it. Today, I noticed it is an insightful summary of the election results and the intelligence behind them.

Admiral Mullen says it would be stressful to go to Iran. Maybe unpredictable what would happen.
It has been clear for some time that Adm Mullen does not want to attack Iran, but his latest remarks suggest that he is fighting hard behind the scenes for both the US and Israel to think carefully about the […]
The bullion value calculator I created using Google App Engine now allows you to login with your Google Account. If you sign in and enter some values, it will store them. The next time you visit, the values you entered will be populated. If you enter new values, those will be the ones […]
Listen to the optimists arguments and listen to Schiff’s arguments. This is a good battle from July of last year about the state of the economy and what is going to happen.
Apparently there’s a memcache problem with Google App Engine. Renaming my memcache key caused my app to work.
This is all in reference to my post a few days ago where I mentioned my Google App Engine Bullion Value Calculator.
Update 2008-06-17: The problems came back, so I surrounded the problem spots with try/except blocks and […]
