People that follow my stuff know I generally write about nutrition, supplements, training, and other topics that are more science based than subjective topics, such as what is covered in this article. I decided to shuck my science geek persona, and write on a topic I know will be helpful to thousands of would be and wanna be fitness models. As well a known "hard core" science based no BS writer, why I am writing what some will perceive as a "fluff" article? Over the years I have gotten ...

In the wake of George Allen's defeat by Jim Webb, let's not write Allen's political obituary just yet. Sure, it was a disappointing loss for Allen, who, just four months ago, seemed like a cinch to win overwhelming re-election to his Senate seat and be on his way to a formidable run for the White House in 2008. Now, after several gaffs and a poorly run campaign, he sits as a lame-duck senator with his 2008 presidential aspirations having been dashed. My, how quickly fortunes can change in ...

On Election Day, the American people spoke very strongly that the direction the President and the Republican Party was taking America towards, is not the direction the country wanted to go in. Presidents are not oblivious to polls. They may not honor them, but they are not oblivious to them. The most important issue in the campaign turned out to be two issues according to the exit polls. They were CORRUPTION, and IRAQ in that order. The President was quick with a lightening type response to ...

Deliberations over the UN sanctions against North Korea or Iran for their nuclear programs bring to memory the League of Nations talk before the WWII. Was German refusal to pay reparations a casus belli? Re-militarization of Rhineland? Extensive military production? No single such issue is a casus belli. Politicians bogged down in details don't see the grand picture of the imminent war. Then and now. The West demonstrated its impotence in the face of nuclear proliferation. China got nuclear ...
