R.I.P Ariel Sharon
.jpg)
In an editorial in the New York Sun about Ariel Sharon, I quote the Sun:
Everyone knows about Sharon’s successes on the battlefield and of his deeds when he held high political office. Where his strength really shone, though, was when he was in the political wilderness. He had been effectively driven from power after the massacre of Palestinian Arab refugees at Sabra, part of Beirut, and the neighboring refugee camp known as Shatila. It was a terrible crime, with estimates as high as two or three thousand dead. Sharon, Israel’s defense minister at the time, was innocent, and the perpetrators ended up in the embrace of the Assad regime in Damascus.He was considered the greatest field commander in Israel's history, and one of the country's greatest ever military strategists. Israel wouldn't exist without Sharon.

January 15th!
My birthday is coming up on January 15th. Michelle Obama's is the 17th. We have nothing in common! Darryl Ware posted on Facebook, 2014 horoscopes for the 12 signs. Mine says:
CAPRICORN – The Passionate Lover (December 22 to January 19)Sounds about right!
Love to bust. Nice. Sassy. Intelligent. Sexy. Grouchy at times and annoying to some. Lazy and love to take it easy, but when they find a job or something they like to do they put their all into it. Proud, understanding and sweet. Irresistible. Loves being in long relationships. Great talker. Always gets what he or she wants. Cool. Loves to win against other signs in sports, especially Gemini’s. Likes to cook but would rather go out
To eat at good restaurants. Extremely fun. Loves to joke. Smart. 24 years of bad luck if you do not share this post.

Review of "Altitude Poems and Stories" by Craig Brandis
Surprise! "Altitude Poems and Stories" by Craig Brandis was just published; a slick covered chap book with some marvelous images. Though slightly melancholy, the poems are filled with surprising images. I didn't know Brandis could write this well. Some poems seemed to be lifted from masters, themselves.
In Mount St. Helens, he writes of the mountain while camping out under a "diamond hard sky" or climbing "its scabrous slopes into the brilliant, orange-white morning."
In "The Wandering Mind" Brandis writes:
"Tender is
the fleet of electric birds
bluing the trees
in their sockets,
wiring the
world with
song-"
In "The Daily News" a beach house keeps watch with "brindled eyes" and the sea is "just wave on wave, like a furrowed brow." "Some days birds skim the rollers/ like penitents walking the breadth/ of a watery country"
Finally, "Red Tail" gives us this great image:
a red tailed hawk hunts
oceans of air-feathering
oars before the kill
Well done Craig Brandis! Keep writing poems

It's Coming!
Winds of War
The winds of war are here. The storm is spreading. It’s growing rapidly in intensity. And it’s bound to directly or indirectly affect virtually every asset class on the face of the planet.Radical Islam is out of control in the mid-east with Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon lost! Weiss says that Al-Queda morphed into many with new names and more dangerous than the original.
Can we thank Obama?

Who Gave Us Obamacare?
At Patriot Depot, we believe that we should give credit where credit is due. That's why we created this bumper sticker, to remind the American people who gave them Obamacare. We shouldn't allow the media to give any of the credit to the Republicans. The Democrats, and only the Democrats gave us Obamacare.
