    What I could not find space for in my Signature field


    "There was probably no way to know about the absence of Iraqi weapons." James Woolsey served as President Clinton's Director of Central Intelligence from 1993 to 1995. You can read the rest of his comments on Iraq and WMD online.




    This is information that can be displayed by clicking on a link in my Signature field. I call it my "patented" POST it again, Sam software technology, because it serves up my favorite OptiBoard posts like audio tracks from a compact disc jukebox


    Al Roker, weatherman and host of NBC's The Today Show, wears and endorses Crizal Alize spectacle lenses.

    My first OptiBoard signature was LensCrafters' Worst Nightmare ...next a photo of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ... and then it changed again. Like many Americans, I owe all that I am to the influence of TV and the movie industry. The reasons that I have made over seventy posts related to or inspired by current events in Iraq and Afghanistan are probably the same reasons that the six widely acclaimed feature length motion pictures "Apocalypse Now", "The Bridge Over the River Kwai", "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Great Escape", "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" and the original 1962 "Manchurian Candidate" are always somewhere near the top of what passes for a mind. And it's statements like this one, perhaps, that have prompted one of OptiBoard's most prolific posters to address me on occasion as Rinsel Tinsel. Sounds like ...





    NASA selected Silhouette Titan Minimal Art Eyewear for use by Orbiter flight crews.


    ... a nickname I could have acquired during the days of pickup softball games at the summer playground, which segues nicely into my next act of public confession: I follow Major League Baseball, especially the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. Born in St. Louis. College near Boston. I've seen the game played in the Seattle KingDome (since demolished), Dodger Stadium, SBC Park and Candlestick Park before that, the Oakland Colosseum, Fenway Park and of course, Busch Stadium. It's two weeks into September of 2004. The Red Sox are looking good for the American League Wild Card slot. The Cardinals have the best record in baseball.


    The Detroit Tigers look for al-Sahaf to work out of the bullpen ... has been tough on left-handed hitters ... has a sharp breaking curveball and a very deceptive changeup.

    I like capturing photos and other images from the Web and using them in my posts. I have posted more than thirty OpEds and photo essays, including Attitude, You could have seen it coming and The M-16 is a marvelous gun.
