While I’m utterly disgusted with the way Bush is handling the war, I’m not giving up on the concept of engaging militant Islam aggressively. The lesson of Iraq, to me, is NOT to go into a 1970s post-Vietnam navel-gazing huddle. I am still 100% behind the invasion of Iraq, even if it has been botched. [...]

It’s cold. Man-killing cold. An angry, vengeful cold that refuses to observe modern conveniences, like coats and gloves. And that’s actually warmer than it was about a half-hour ago, when it said -2 and -17. Sunday night, I worked the pizza gig in this weather. As if the cold wasn’t enough, add in a few [...]

While I don’t agree with the premise, I have to admit this is a clever approach. Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not [...]

My brother is six years younger than me. Growing up together, I wasn’t quite too old not to enjoy some of the things he was into, but of course I had to maintain a proper ‘older brother aloofness’ at all times, to preserve any vestigial coolness that comes with the position. Mark was a big [...]

Today I’m announcing a new feature of this blog. I’m a rather vociferous reader, focusing primarily on Science Fiction, Historical non-Fiction, and to a lesser extent, Fantasy. My bookcases groan under a fair number of tomes, since I’m congenitally incapable of throwing away a book, regardless of the quality. So, I’m going to review every [...]

I didn’t realize it at the time, but my pizza delivery post was the 2000th of this blog. That’s a lot of wasted time!

Have you seen the commercial? Man steals Tiger’s golf bag, and Tiger runs him down and tackles him. My first thought seeing it? “Holy crap. Why is he risking his career on a commercial? Who wrote this?” Turns out, the whole thing was unscripted. Cool, but if you’re Woods’s agent, you probably should have a [...]

I’ve been losing my respect for Bush pretty quickly over the last six months or so. I’ve been mentally drafting post after post, slamming him for a litany of things, but frankly, I just haven’t had the energy to write them out. My blogging absence is primarily a result of utter disgust with him and [...]

Have you seen this tear-jerking picture? This photo released by the Canadian Ice Service Friday Feb. 2, 2007 and taken by photographer Dan Crosbie in 2004 shows two polar bears on a chunk of ice in the arctic off Northern Alaska. The words of warning about global warming from the top panel of international scientists [...]

I haven’t been using eBay all that much lately, but I thought I’d pass this on. WipBox enables sellers to create better, richer listings through deeper knowledge gathering and better preparation. Users can learn which categories and for how much they should list items based on each product’s basic info. WipBox shows high, low and [...]

The largest Book Fair in the Arab world is going on in Cairo. What’s popular among the youth? The fair also has its darker sides, with anti-Christian polemics advocating conversion to Islam as the only solution to a flawed religion and of course plenty of editions of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” for sale. “It makes [...]

Mrs. Clinton lets the mask slip for a moment. Let’s see if she corrects her remarks and claims she mis-spoke. I’m guessing she’s perfectly comfortable with the idea of government seizing profits on a whim.

Yeah, I’ve been away awhile. I keep teasing you with promises to blog more, only to leave the page distressingly blank. I’m sure you all are pining for more content, waiting breathlessly for my latest dollop of nonsense. I can only wish. I’ve been busy. And sick. The sick part is essentially dull to anyone [...]
