If our leaders won’t Mexico and God will Bless America
USA Soccer put down Panama last night for a meaningless 3-1 come-from-behind win in injury time.
however, that win kept Mexico’s World Cup hopes alive. this is great for North American Soccer, and HUGE for USA and Mexico relations.
we had Mexican sports announcers screaming, “God Bless America!” over international telecasts.
I love it.
peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

I’ve apparently struck a chord with the news I want to purchase a vineyard.
My preference would be Spain.
I’m not looking for investors or partners.
And, I don’t view this as a retreat. More so a platform.
Apparently, and according to Hemingway, and my Granddad, Spain is easier to defend (more about that some other time). And, the people are like none other on the planet. And, yes, I did predict Spain winning the World Cup. The mountain ranges of Spain influence the climates of many Spanish wine regions (and politics), isolating regions like Galicia in the northwest, and protecting the Rioja region from the rain and cool winds from the Bay of Biscay.
All of this, and it’s import, are things, and critical things, that Prudent and Optimistic Gentlemen understand.
Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

It’s no secret that I coach several members of the House and Senate in both their political and business ventures. So, I’ve checked-in with them for some updates in terms of views from Capitol Hill.
Why now?
I’m disappointed in President Obama for some key reasons. But the biggest of those reasons is also the simplest: I feel that he’s failed to lead us at the time, and at exactly the moment, leadership has been needed most.
For example, the situation with BP and the horrendous situation off of the Gulf coast. Having (also) checked-in with several preeminent members of the Marine Biology Faculty at College of Charleston, the real and awful expent of the damage is not clearly understood by the average American.
Obama appears to align himself with the cause of the day; joining in and commiserating (like making a speech), as opposed to making a stand and being firm. President Obama has ben great at meeting distraught fishermen and Gulf shore home owners. But, he has been slow to pin BP down on what needs to be done beyond financial restitution. I understand this is more in BP’s line of expertise, but, I feel a task-force is called for. Also, Obama has literally told Great Britain that there is: no hard feelings over both the oil leak… Oh, and the draw in Saturday’s 1 -1 World Cup match, mind you.
Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.
