Recognizing that America can't go it alone is the best way to boost the country's standing.Since 2000, the United States' standing has deteriorated in all parts of the world, and anti-Americanism has grown intense. The 2008 Pew Global Attitudes survey reveals that in the past eight years, favorable views of the United States fell from 78 percent to 30 percent in Germany, 50 percent to 22 percent i
If 2008 was the most interesting year of my life, then I’m going to just sit back and see what happens in 2009. I’m counting on, and looking forward to improvement in every aspect! If I’ve ever been called anything, then being called an eternal optimist is probably the truest of them.

Golden Eyes and Uncle SamNell Brinkley, 1918This illustration shows a young woman, "Golden Eyes," dressed in a khaki-colored dress and cap standing with a collie dog named Uncle Sam who holds a "Liberty bond" in his mouth. A nude kewpie-like figure bangs a drum lower left. Their act of patriotism supported American soldiers during World War I.Published in The Seattle Sunday Times, April 21, 1918.d
This was supposed to be the famous face of Uncle Ben who is used on the packages of a variety of rices. I painted this from the painting used of Uncle Ben on the packages. I liked the ink work because it was free and I wasen't really trying to copy the image that closely. I like the washes also. Only thing is....it really does not look like Uncle Ben. Great exercise though. Ink and watercolor.

My uncle Jean bought this brand new pickup back in the early 1950s. He would stop and pick me up as I was walking home from school. I remember the fresh clean smell of his new vehicle and remembered thinking that I might own a pickup just like his some day. Now, his pickup sits broken and undriveable. For many years, my uncle could fix the problems and now he can not. So it sits rusting in the su
Americans are ready for more government oversight of the mortgage and lending industry.

These are pictures of the poster that I made for my school's Wall of Honor. The wall is our way of celebrating Veterans Day. The person on the poster is my Great Great Uncle Laurence. He was a submariner in World War 2. He died when his submarine was sunk by the Japanese from land. He earned the Purple Heart.
He said he gave up, but he didn’t. He is continuing to go on with our argument. I think when one says they gave up on a fight, then they should actually have to follow through. I mean, it isn’t that I don’t enjoy arguing because I do. It reminds me [...]

Those of us who look at The United States through cynical and realistic eyes have known for a dozen years or more that the U.S. government had both the willingness and the capability to bring down our nation.
