With little time to post. But I did wish to note this interesting development: The New York Yankees acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in a trade that sent the Japanese star from a last-place team to a World Series contender. The Yankees also got cash considerations from the Mariners, who received pitching

Why blogs suck…….
Especially those that pride themselves on the "high caliber of their discussion"-and the "fine people on their front porch". Fortunately I jumped in the gutter from the start-so I have no such lofty ambitions. But this post-by my Canadian Counterpart-quite accurately describes why the collective blogosphere is a huge failure.

This story is not true-as a simple check of Snopes will verify, but I still think its funny. When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by

But alas it has. When people were discussing the repeal of DADT, it was always pointed out that the aim was just to have things be "business as usual" and that the rather more overt things that cause older men like me to get all pissed off and cranky-would not

I am posting this post by my Candian Counterpart in its entirety. Its worth reading-every word-because it effectively lays to rest just about every bullshit argument we here from the ranting herd of ill-informed Fox News viewers. Take it away, Skippy Stalin: Even more troubling that the modern conservative shift

Greetings from the West End of the Pest section of Budapest. Flew here on the 4th and we have been touring the city since then. Because of all the points I gained from my forays to Bucharest- the hotel upgraded us to a corner suite when we got here. Didn't ask for it-but it is pretty

Poor John Adams, the poor man never gets his due. Our 2nd President may have saved America more than a couple times from its own worst influences, but he never gets any credit for it. Tea Bag America always would rather misquote his successor than give the man from Quincy
