For beer and babes. My apologies. I wish I could say its because I got a better offer-but that would require the S.O. to actual remember that she is supposed to have sex. But one can still admire this: And drink some of this:

In trying to do good, they just do more harm.
As promised, I am taking this opportunity to offer my thoughts on some provisions of the 2014 Defense Bill that should make anyone with any military experience at all, just a little bit nervous. ( If not downright upset.) First the good parts ( I guess). The bill revamps the Sodomy section of the UCMJ.… Continue reading In trying to do good, they just do more harm.
The Zombie Eyed Granny Starver, hard at work
Yesterday afternoon, the Devil's apprentice himself, Paul Ryan ( Worthless Cocksucker-WI) and his Democratic counterpart Mrs Landingham (H/t to Charles Pierce for the term) announced they had reached a budget deal. Some deal. Rather than go for the straightforward approach of repealing the rest of the Bush tax cuts and lifting the cap on Social… Continue reading The Zombie Eyed Granny Starver, hard at work
Marriage re-booted
Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has a post up on his blog that postulates something I have believed for a long time. Marriage is no longer a relevant institution and needs to be re-vamped or done away with. He does not come out specifically state what I believe-namely that our ideas about monogamy are… Continue reading Marriage re-booted

I am a Star Wars fan. But not this much of one. Idle Hands are the Devil's works shop. And Queen fans everywhere are balling up fists of rage:
Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95 yesterday. Clearly, the world has lost a great man. He was great not just because he struggled against apartheid -but when the tables finally turned; he did not give in to the instincts to take vengeance on his oppressors-but to seek a middle path that made… Continue reading Nelson Mandela
And I’m back
It has been a busy month for me. I just got back from the 4th of 4 trips in a month. Lots of observations from my trips. More to follow tomorrow.
The Pope gets it.
I'm liking Pope Francis more and more each day. He is doing what Pope Palpatine did not, and for that matter what Saint John Paul II seemed unable to do either when he was Pope. Namely highlighting the societal trends that at odds with church teachings-and using the bully pulpit ( and the real pulpit… Continue reading The Pope gets it.
The chance of precipitation just went up.
Not rain falling, but bombs. Dropped from Israeli planes. The western powers signed an interim agreement with Iran last night. As expected a certain, rather stubborn group of folks is not happy about that one bit: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu characterized the agreement signed with Iran early Sunday morning as a historic mistake. Directly contrasting… Continue reading The chance of precipitation just went up.
