Umbro England Home Jersey 07-08
2008-05-25 22:02:00 Lets talk for a moment about why I am telling you about SoccerPro.com's products. The great folks at SoccerPro.com approached me to test a choice of products on their behalf and post the results to this blog in order to give you, their buying public, a better idea of what their on-line store stocks. As an Englishman I have followed football (soccer) since I can remember, getting heavily involved from ten years old on. When I emigrated to America as a student in East Texas I was the goalkeeper on the Ambassador College Big Sandy student team. My college studies were in journalism and broadcasting and although I never followed up on either of these subjects for a profession I have dabbled in both over the years. Living in Oklahoma City I coached my three sons in soccer, my middle son Brian actually went to England to try out for the English national school boy team.

Norman Finkelstein visits Tucson
2008-05-06 10:48:00 I am always amazed by how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict seems to bring out the best and worst in people.

The talk I attended tonight, given by Professor Norman Finkelstein, proved to be no exception in that so much hate, hope, knowledge and ignorance can coexist in the same room.Read the full post at: thescienceofgovernment

Tucson Anti-Illegal Immigration Rally Draws 200
2008-05-01 20:03:00 This isn’t a bad number of people to show up on a Thursday morning. Brandishing American flags and signs reading “Stop the Invasion,” about 200 people showed up Thursday morning at De Anza Park to take part in a march against illegal immigration. [source] As an American, I am proud of these folks getting out to march in support of enforcing immigration law and border security. Across town, about 300 people showed up to march “for immigrant rights”. A few miles away, another group - carrying images of the Virgin of Guadalupe and activist Cesar Chavez - promoted immigrant rights and condemned racism and the war. Well that seems like a pretty wide range of things to march for in one shot, but God bless them for getting out to practice free speech. Somehow I don’t think they were marching on behalf of legal immigrants. I think they were probably marching to support people who break immigration law. They were trying to frame illegal immigration into...
