SST is an excellent source of analytical opinion on the reality of our times!
As an investor with several failures in start-up internet media properties, 4 million page views is a significant achievement considering the word of mouth manner through which it has been accomplished. Speaks to the quality of the content!
Your choice of Durer's "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" to accompany this auspicious announcement is interesting. Please elaborate....
....and congratulations on work well done.
So much of what we deal with here, and what I have dealt with over the decades has to do with war, pestilence, etc. that it seemed fitting. The atmosphere becomes so heavy here at times that a kazoo band makes a nice break. pat
Very early in the Bush Era, when I thought Rummy had the Pentagon marching in lock-step—all the star whores seeking his favor-- you stood up; and, upon retirement, you kept doing your duty. I deem an American patriot as he/she who would not allow to be done to "OUR" kids in the military what he/she would not allow done to his/her biologic kids. Alas, without a draft, most Americans suffer from "ain't my kid going to war" disconnect syndrome. For the rest who really wish to understand the mindset behind this post-9/11 catastrophic era, your blog has been a mooring that keeps us informed and sane. Thank you for doing your duty to the very end.
Congrats Pat!
Well deserved.
