The Obligatory Super Bowl Post
Posted in The Soothsayer on February 6, 2005 |
It’s not often I post anything related to sports around here but today’s Super Bowl is the normal exception. It always requires me to don the “Soothsayers Cap” and “mandate” the outcome.

Arroyo Government “Spins” Out of Control
Posted in The Soothsayer on August 2, 2004 |
The Philippine Government has been spinning faster than a whirling dervish the last few days in its efforts to paint a happy face on former Abu Sayyaf hostage Gracia Burnham’s testimony.

Posted in Lifetime War -Terrorism, The Soothsayer on January 29, 2004 |
