American cities have never experienced modern total war, leaving Americans to imagine the impacts of catastrophic warfare on their urban centers. This article examines post-1945depictions of the death of U.S. cities in films, short stories, and novels from the “thriller,” “future war,” and science fiction genres since 1945. Cities are conspicuous by their absence from fictions of future war and its impacts, often disappearing offstage to allow the plot to follow survivors in small-town and rural settings. This pattern spans depictions of the immediate days after atomic bombing (or a surrogate disaster such as a stray meteor or plague) and...

ROTFLMAO!!!! Rush informs his audience he is with them and his advertisers are saying his audience is not important and YOU/WE are nor important their business plans. YOU ROCK RUSH!!!!

I know Newt's team reads FR and I have a message. Please read the following: What the hell is up your home page? I get how to look for navigating around it but to 80% of America it looks blank. You need a simple, clean and intuitive landing page and it isn't. Fix it! I'm arguing/persuading against many people who worked in the Reagan Administration and people who count on their opinion, for Newt amazing accomplishments and his new proposal for America. We will have a Majorities in both houses that will enable Newt to accomplish the bold and audacious...

What follows is an article I am writing to dispell the myth's being bandied about by some very large liars regarding the Ethics complaints Newt was charged with in the 90's. I have sourced the material. It is a bit long. The formatting is for people with a short attention span and those who like to read.

Newt TKO's Romney by 10!

America, Conservatives and Republicans. We must support Newt Gingrich. He is a man of many accomplishments who gave us Welfare Reform, A Balanced Budget, and Reduced Taxes. Further, he brought us a Republican Majority when we were lost in the desert and the GOP establishment said it couldn't be done. Newt is the only candidate who thinks of big ideas, studies the challenges in achieving very difficult goals and then through, his leadership, explains how we are going to do it and then marshals them into eventuality. Newt helped us achieve the above through his plan known as the Contract...

Newt is the obvious choice for the Presidency. He crafted the strategies which gave us majorities in the 90's. He crafted The Contract with America which led to Welfare Reform, Lower Taxes and a Balanced Budget. I have been arguing against Clinton taking credit for those initiatives for years and I even had to correct our local talk radio host, Brian Sussman, the second day of his show. There is no one left who has a record of accomplishment that can compete with Newt. We will have majorities in the Congress and Senate to help Newt carry out his 21st...

Merry Christmas Jim Robinson and John Robinson!

Just heard this on Hannity and thought it was too hilarious!

Just heard a Fighter Jet Gaining speed. Scanned the skies and saw it flying West from Moffet Field. Anyone else hear it? Why take off now?

Here's Lt. Col. Bateman's account of a little-known ceremony that fills the halls of the Army corridor of the Pentagon with cheers, applause and many tears every Friday morning. It first appeared on May 17 on the Web-log of media critic and pundit Eric Alterman at the Media Matters for America Web site. "It is 110 yards from the 'E' ring to the 'A' ring of the Pentagon. This section of the Pentagon is newly renovated; the floors shine, the hallway is broad, and the lighting is bright. At this instant the entire length of the corridor is packed...

Bin Laden was killed by the US Navy Seal on Sunday. While most part of the world is celebrating, NMA has made an animation to portray what had happened during the siege and what happens to him after his death. Donald Trump was kicked off the air on Sunday to make way for some important news from President Barack Obama. Obama announced that US Navy Seals had located 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden at a large residential compound in a Pakistan neighborhood. Pakistan claimed its intelligence agents were involved in the operation. Bin Laden reportedly resisted capture. US forces recovered...

Just listening to Ann Coulter and she is totally eviscerating whoever she is debating. Dang! That woman can argue and keep all her facts straight. I vote for Anne to take over from Beck! Smoking!

Just heard on the Radio and in the Myth's own voice he is actually going to run against himself. Unbelievable!

A physics teacher in high school once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American. Good idea .... one light bulb at a time ....

So I was over at Dave Weinbaum's site and he has an amazing pictorial of depression era photo's. The quality is superb but illustrates through pictures the life of those who found themselves in a place they didn't imagine but, doing what they could to survive, eek out some sort of living and care for their children.

Weird. It's been years since I felt three earthquakes in a week much less in 3 days. Guess it's time to pack up and move to the Sierra's for some excellent beach front property.

Just had another earthquake. A baby one maybe a 3? San Jose
