Today, take the opportunity to check out the historian Victor Davis Hanson and his views about who our future allies will be, post-Iraq. Sounds about right to me.

On a lighter note, the Red Sox went 3-1 in Tampa (they better have!) and the New England Patriot's schedule has been release, along with the rest of the NFL's. Looks like the Pats got an easier road as far as game times, bye weeks, and travel this year than last (no 5 games in 25 days in November this year!). In essence, it's a Buffalo Sandwich with a lot of 1 O'Clock games in the mix.
