A stubble jumper is a prairie farmer. I'm from Saskatchewan and my dad was a farmer, so the name is apt. "Redneck" needs no explanation. It's anyone who disagrees with a lunatic leftie. My blog is mostly about the Middle East but other issues also catch my eye and get me going. I monitor comments to keep out trolls and lunatic lefties. Anyone who is zealously anti-American and anti-democracy in the Middle East is NOT welcome.

From MEMRI: "Foreign Investors Withdraw Money From Egypt By Droves; Heavy Losses For Egyptian 'Bourse'" Massive capital flight from Egypt. The wealthy state their opinion, financially.
From Reform Party of Syria: "Four Suicide Bombs Explode in Allepo" "...RPS is told that Syrians are stunned how little it took to send the president of Tunisia fleeing to Saudi Arabia."
Things are getting tougher for Middle East dictators nowadays. All ultimately thanks to George W. Bush.
From Libya to Iran, there's a whole bunch of dictators & henchmen deserving of the fall-of-Mussolini treatment.
Yup. We live in interesting times. I wasn't even aware of the unrest in Tunisia until their dictator fled, but I guess it was going on for a month or more.
I've been absolutely delighted with the way Moamar Gadhafi has been reacting. He's terrified.
Some of the statements from other dictators in the region have been fairly hilarious, too. They're saying that the will of the Tunisian people must be recognized. Yeah, right. Say that to your own people.
If there is a rapid domino effect here, I'll be very surprised, but I'm sure it will come some day.
That vote on secession in Sudan is also very surprising, not that I'm surprised the southern region would want to pull away, but the very fact that a vote took place is amazing, if you ask me.
