While Michelle Malkin was on TV yesterday, whining and moaning about who moved her cheese, she-and a lot of other Americans-missed the fact that Cory Aquino passed away this weekend. Not that Malkin would care-she scarcely pays attention to the details of her ancestry-instead behaving like the assimilated American bitch

Closing the book?
If you particpated as an aviator in Gulf War I, as I did-seeing this news brought a tear to my eye: The US military has found the remains of the last American still officially missing in action from the Gulf War. Capt Michael Scott Speicher, an F18 pilot, was shot

Its been a busy week. I have been working against two deadlines-one at work and one for the course I am taking. Earned Value Metrics, ROI, ROS calculations, contract terminations. In other words, things that are total and complete bullshit. What I should have been studying- is a hands-on laboratory

So treat it with reverence! Problems with Palestinians or no-I sure would like to go back there. I’ve been to Israel five times. Twice, I made the circuit of driving the entire country-once as the guest of an Israeli Naval officer and once by myself , with some squadron

From Japan Probe: Minshutou ( Democratic Party of Japan) is ahead in the polls for the parlimentary elections in August. The young man in the video proposes marriage to the woman. The young man promises that he can make her happy, so why not switch. He goes on to
