Sam Brownback is the first politician I’ve heard mention a seemingly reasonable solution to the war in Iraq. During the Republican presidential candidates’ debate, he said,
“I’d push more a political solution along with a military solution in Iraq, and here I would push a three-state, one-country solution in Iraq, with a Kurdish state, a Sunni state, a Shiite state, with Baghdad as the federal city. I think we’ve got to push a political solution, along with the military, to get to a stable situation in Iraq, which is our key political issue of the day.”

I think I got my first personal computer in the early nineties. It was an IBM Aptiva, and boy was it terrible! I guess it was all that when it came out, but I recently plugged it in again to see what I was missing. The screen was tiny and kind of blurry, the IBM memory was slow, and the hard drive was a whopping one gigabyte. It was ahead of its time, but now was a relic in the computer world.

I remember back in the day there was this game on the original Nintendo console that was focused completely around the day to day life of a Wall Street investor. Though I often see it on lists of the worst games ever, I actually enjoyed it. You had to balance all aspects of your life, from managing your stocks to conducting market research. You also had to balance your own personal life. It was a good time.

I was looking around south Florida for a decent place to live that I could afford on my salary. I was looking at apartments, but figured I would just be throwing money away. I then got to looking at mobile homes, the cheap places I could own outright at a price that is reasonable. Now, these weren’t trailers, these were beautiful modular homes, built to specifications, complete with appliances and home furniture. Maybe I will move in.

President Bush used his weekly radio address to urge Americans to continue to pray for and honor our troops overseas. He also encouraged Americans to stay strong in their commitment to fighting for freedom around the world. He told the story of a fallen soldier in Iraq who had written letters to his parents urging them to pray for his fellow soldiers. The Democrats used their weekly radio address to give air time to Elliot Anderson of Las Vegas, a former active duty Marine who spent seven months in Afghanistan. Anderson stated his opposition to the war in Iraq and said that the best way to honor our troops is to bring them home.
