Short announcement

Rogel @ December 30, 2007 # 11 Comments

I’m breaking the sudden silence of the blog, to tell you that we are going to be in New Hampshire from January 4th.
We, finally, made up our mind and volunteered as a family to go help the efforts in the NH primaries. I didn’t volunteered to any political activity since I was 16 years old, […]

Captured moments

Rogel @ December 25, 2007 # One Comment

Lately I find it hard to get excited about the “real” important things - politic, foreign policy and maters of war and peace. I don’t really feel like writing about things of substance (and I guess some might argue that I never wrote anything of substance). I simply enjoy the time with my family. Seeing […]

Nice spin

Rogel @ December 18, 2007 # No Comment Yet

I love watching the political game, and how the political spin is working. Ron Paul’s remarks from today is a great example: a less known candidate which got some media attention for a very successful fundraising keep the with a controversial remarks aiming at the frontrunner.

While I believe in individual rights and liberty, Governor Huckabee promote the worse of all worlds - Big Government Conservatism - a brand of social […]

It is different, because… hmmm….

Rogel @ December 15, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Gotcha, McCain.

The mainstream ideas

Rogel @ December 15, 2007 # No Comment Yet

This short clip is a good reminder that non-intervantionism was the mainstream republican policy not so far ago. It is interesting, and sad, to see how easy it become to make it into fringe ideology. One might argue that the 9/11 terror attacks change everything, but I doubt the wisdom of such argument. Yes, the […]

Who do they protect?

Rogel @ December 14, 2007 # One Comment

The latest consumer protection, the French version, is so typical - the consumer has to pay more in the name of competition:

Amazon.com may not offer free delivery on books in France, the high court in Versailles has ruled.
