Istanbul was an intriguing city. On the one hand – you can see just about all the “touristy” stuff in about five days. On the other hand – it had all the marks of a city you could hunker down in and ” prowl” for a couple of weeks or

So its about the children, eh?
Also known as-Why Mark Steyn sucks. Phib presumes to lecture me on what issues are really about-sadly I missed most of his lecture because I was having a good time over the weekend-sightseeing and practicing not procreative sex with the S.O. In a recent post, he asserted that he was tired

Long day today and dog tired. Not sure why since we spent a few hours here:

Today was a full day here in Istanbul. We were up early, ate breakfast out-took the bus and the tram to Sultanmahment Station and saw all the usuals: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The last item is huge and can consume a whole day in and of itself.

And its really sad-because I admire the Catholic Church on so many things. But I won't go with them on this. Especially since the church's teachings on sex are totally screwed up. The President offered up a rhetorical solution in response to their rhetorical freak-out over language in a

That there are people who actually defend Andrew Breitbart. Especially after the unbelievable freak show that was CPAC this year-and we got to see the bearded maniac come completely unglued: And people show up with torches and pitchforks and accuse me of ignorance-for simply pointing out the Navy is cheap

But for some reason-Western feminists pay little or no attention to. Shocked, I tell you-absolutely shocked. The case of the maids trying to win right of abode in Hong Kong is moving towards its next step: A spectre is haunting Hong Kong. And it is not communism. It is the
