2005: The Year In Military Heroism
Between seeing this post of Sondrak’s on Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. 1st Class Paul Smith and all the brouhaha over various nonsensical year end lists, I decided to do a tribute post to America’s War Heroes of 2005. In my view, they cannot get and certainly haven’t gotten enough...
Llama Busted
Incredible but true. And a sad day for bloggers everywhere.
Along with mug shots and pedigree information on Florida Keys residents nabbed for such things as probation violations and cocaine sales, one "Juan Llama" appeared in connection with his misdemeanor arrest for "loitering-or prowling" at Key West High School.
And I thought ...
It’s About Time
No, not New Year’s Eve. Well, maybe that, too. However, DOJ is going to look into the NY Times regarding certain leaks.

Ed Lorenz: Perfectly Dead
Yep, looks like from now on ol’ Ed will be forever after chasing that 7 – 10 split in the sky. A Sisyphean struggle of less than epic proportion, perhaps. But nothing beats a bowling alley for a good round-bottomed, beer drinking gal who likes rough, extra-marital sex.
Um, er .. so...
Stand Off At Israeli Palestinian Check Point
GAZA, Dec 30 (Reuters) – Scores of Palestinian policemen, angered by the killing of a fellow officer in a gunfight with a clan in the southern Gaza Strip, blocked access to the main border crossing with Egypt on Friday, prompting its closure.
Between Iran, Israel and the Palestinians, realize...
Blog Changes
Just an FYI for some regular readers. Eventually there will be some changes coming to the blog. For one, I have been asked to join Blog Ads – an invite only ad service for bloggers which is a fairly standard deal. Please note – I received the same offer at the...
What Did You Do On Christmas Vacation?
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Maybe it was the time the taxi dumped him at the Iraq-Kuwait border, leaving him alone in the middle of the desert. Or when he drew a crowd at a Baghdad food stand after using an Arabic phrase book to order. Or the moment a...
ACLUless
This sort of thing just tics me off. It isn’t about civil liberties, or civil rights or good government. It’s a blatant political ploy which totally undermines, or at least should undermine any belief that the...

Auld Lang Syne
Did you know it was written in 1788? Around the time Dick Clark was born, I believe.
Dick Clark, who suffered a stroke last December, won’t be in a wheelchair when he appears on ABC’s "New Year’s Rockin’ Eve," says co- host Ryan Seacrest. (story here)
For heaven’s sake, let him...
What Austria Doesn’t Want You To See
As is being widely reported but so far not widely shown, (also see here for MSM reports) the Austrian government spent $1.2 million to fund controversial artwork. But the MSM isn’t telling the whole story just yet. I was able to navigate to a, for now, hard to access site...
