Hey what's this noise down there in the garden. I quickly jumped out of my seat. Twenty meters ahead of me I saw our bitch in heat tightly coupled with a black male dog. How could that guy overhelme our fence? What breed is it? Where dit it come from? Who cares. Instictively I threw a snowball out in the dark and the male dog has escaped. - That was luck. I knew they must "hung" for several minutes in order to father puppies.

Well I really don't have much to say...and the looking for work thing I think Zodan has really explained quite well. I have had some requests from friends and family....far far away at home for pictures of what it looks like here so here goes.

Well they certainly don't believe in doing things small here, so you often see people taking pictures on their knees or bending themselves double or into very interesting positions while trying to fit some other person in the picture with places like Big Ben. While other people usually not wanting to spoil this bent oven persons picture walk hunched over to stay out of the picture....

We are no exeption....
So on our second day in London the first having been spent unpacking and sleeping off the jetlag. We took a train to Westminster and went to go see Big Ben....

...Westminster Abby...

...the London eye.....

and just for good measure...Nelson's column in Trafalgar square....

Yes I was very cold but the jacket and scarf helped....thanks mammy....Wel that is enough tourist stuff for now...will publish more at a later date.

see ya

I emailed Albert over in Research my last post on the gay issue. He said it makes us sound like we're for same-sex marriage. So, we had to decide if we were or not.

We are. And we're not.

We asked ourselves the same questions I asked you in the P.S. of the last post. Turns out we're homophobes too. Which means we're gay if you believe what I said in that post.

Squeal like a pig, Albert!

But, there was something else that came out in our discussion. Something . . . unexpected.

Curiously, while we were both repulsed (and we actually vomited) by the thought of two boars holding hands and kissing and . . . you know, Albert on the other foot, was turned on when it was two sows. Go figure.

So, where do we stand on gay marriage? Compromise is the great American political tradition: the Connecticut Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Missouri Compromise . . . hell, America even compromised one time by allowing a Major League Baseball All-Star Game to end in a tie after 50 innings. It's Our American Way, and it has made us great.

In that spirit, Albert and I offer the Hog Compromise, or Hogpromise. Ban same-sex marriage among boars. Allow same-sex marriage among hot, young lesbian sows.

And we wanted two names for our compromise, you know like the Connecticut Compromise is also called the Great Compromise. Well, obviously the Great Compromise is taken - what fucking luck - so we'll call it the Hogpocrisy Compromise.

If the unemployment lines weren't long enough, well they are about to get longer.
For more than four decades, the Klondike Hotel and Casino has done business at the southernmost edge of the Strip, but its days are over.

Last Fall, the land under the historic casino was sold to a CONDO developer who plans on building 1,000 to 1,500 units on the site. The developer says they're at least a year from breaking ground.

They're going to present their plan to the Clark County Commission later this month.I'm sure it will be approved. After all the Clark County Commission released news last week that ony 3 out of 4 condo projects were actually going to be built.

Speriamo means "We hope" in Italian. Thus we hope to add some interesting comments to various world views. Given that we are Republican and Conservative, our views will reflect this bent. However, we shall not shy from criticizing the Right when it errs or does something that we feel is more idiotic than usual.

We have no affiliations, nor do we receive support from anyone. We are avid readers and much of that reading is in the political arena. When we post, or add to an existing commentary, it may be a subject of general interest or it may be a subject of interest to only a few. In all cases we will try to support our contentions with facts. When we cannot do that, we will identify same as an opinion.

We have asked ourselves the following question: Given the number of Blogs out there, why do we want to do another? Perhaps it's ego, and perhaps it is ego, coupled to a need to engage others in spirited discussion about the issues of the day. We have often ranted about how stupid, or uninformed, the majority of the American people are, and we have looked at the data that shows the media is in fact liberal and biased. All of that was, and is, very unproductive because it does not address the underlying tunnel vision problems. To some, this statement may seem the height of egoism. Perhaps. We think not. One of the reasons for this is that we are older, have seen a great deal, and have witnessed history in the making on a number of fronts. Does that mean we know more than everyone? No. Does that mean we feel we can bring some sanity to some discussions? Yes. In any event that is what the "Speriamo" blog will try to do. You, the readers, will have to decide for yourselves whether or not we ever accomplish this goal.

In general, our commentary will reflect opinions about articles and books published by Liberal authors, Democratic legislators, and public pundits. Similarly, it will address the inability of the press and others of like mind to deal in other than conclusions. By that I mean that many on the Left who comment about just about anything do so by citing a conclusion. They do not seem capable of citing any facts to support those conclusions. To wit, I refer you to comments by Dr. Dean, the wayward physician, who is head of the Democratic party. (What happened to his "Do no Harm" oath when he received his medical degree?)

Dr. Dean's statement (Partial and excerpted from Power Line-see below)
"We now know that George Bush personally ordered American intelligence services to spy on American citizens without the consent of any court and repeatedly directed officials to take actions that explicitly violated the law."

This is a conclusion with no supporting data. John Hinderaker of Power Line responded as follows:

Really? How do we know that? What actions violated the law? What law? Dean, of course, never makes a legal argument, but assumes that his audience has been properly warmed up by the New York Times, and won't question his assertions. He (Dean) continues:

"Our courts are the last line of defense against abuses of power like this, and every judicial nominee must demonstrate that they will honor their most important responsibility: protecting our rights and freedoms.

Samuel Alito will not.

During the course of his judicial career, Samuel Alito has compiled a record of looking the other way when abuses of power threaten our basic freedoms. He has deferred to unscrupulous prosecutors who constructed all-white juries to try black defendants. He repeatedly failed to protect our right to privacy. He was even the lone judge [It was a 2-1 decision] voting to uphold the illegal strip-search of a 10-year old girl."

The problem here is that Dean is talking about Doe v. Groody, and has not the faintest idea of what Judge Alito said or meant in that opinion. Nor does he present, and seemingly does not understand, the opinions of the other judges in the case. For a more detailed discussion of this matter see Power Line (http://www.powerlineblog.com/) for January 3, 2006.

Do we expect to convert Liberals into Conservatives - No. We do expect however that some Liberals will at least begin to question what is presented as fact, and perhaps see it for what it is - opinion, and a biased one at that.

More than any other artist in history, Pablo Picasso not only challenged, but broke, the power of objectivity in artistic expression. Picasso's art remains a testament to freedom: the freedom to create one's own history, the freedom to tell the truth from a subjective point of view, "the freedom to come as you are and leave when you choose," as Greil Marcus wrote.

Shopping for watches on the Internet, while enjoyable can be difficult for a number of reasons. Two main reasons are that there are an overwhelming number of watches available and you don�t get to see them and feel them before you click that buy button. However, with some basic knowledge on wrist watches, you will be able to browse through more choices in less time and significantly increase your chance of finding the watch that you want.
