Don’t kid yourself-a lot of people really believe it.
Facebook sentiments are a rather inaccurate measure of public opinion to be sure. But if the views of my more conservative Facebook friends are any measure-all of the people who are pronouncing Romney’s campaign “dead” based on his rather infamous “47 percent of the country is irresponsible” remarks, are acting

Back in the bad old days, before cell phones, e-mail, VTC's and women on warships-people used to amuse themselves ashore with dice games in bars. I was thinking about those games, and those days tonight. As I may have mentioned before, I love bars. All kinds of bars. Dive bars,

Another installment in the series-reprinted from Esquire Magazine. But the woman is my own choice from Asia Sirens! A lady asks a man at a bar what he's drinking. "Magic Beer," he says. "What's so magic about it?" she asks. He gets up and flies around the room.

Tomorrow I will get on an airplane and fly to sunny Palma de Majorca. I am going back to pay my respects to a whole lot of dead brain cells I killed in that port in various port visits during my mis-spent youth. I have not been there since 1995.
