My, my, my-how quickly the worm turns. For years loads of military bloggers have been fawning over Michael Yon, supposedly the only honest reporter covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now it would seem, he no longer enjoys the adoration of the masses. I mean after all-God forbid you
Continue readingAnother reason I am liking the World Cup…..
Beacause I can turn it on-and the resident Fox News morons fans don’t come along and change the TV. Last week was perfect. We could turn on the World Cup in the morning then switch it over to the US Open. A whole week without Glenn Beck on the tube

When I was a young man, I was a fan of the short lived TV show, Battlestar Galatica. I was going through flight school, there had been only one Star Wars movie and the Galatica seemed like an aircraft carrier. Besides-the chicks on the show were pretty hot. When its

Finally, a job opportunity in Asia I know I am really qualified for: Rent a White Guy. Not long ago I was offered work as a quality-control expert with an American company in China I’d never heard of. No experience necessary—which was good, because I had none. I’d be paid

Under the category of ” I did not see that coming…” it would seem that when Sarah Palin needs to inject herself into the news cycle, and she is out of ideas ( a process that takes all of 30 seconds), she falls back on her funbags: Which brings me,

I was in Japan on Memorial Day-and while I remembered the day in my mind-I also did little in the way of observing it. Certainly did not go to any ceremonies or the like. AFN had a bit about Memorial Services at the respective bases in Japan and ran the

Trying to convince the S.O. to do something. It does not appear to be working from this self portrait: Speaking of portraits I have uploaded some more pix from the Japan trip. A visit to Neko town. Out to Chiba. ( Where the S.O. used to live). Harajuku for girl

And this year-I’m getting behind the World Cup. Every where else in the world-businesses and life in general comes to a halt while national teams play for nationalism and bragging rights. The US? Er, not so much-we don’t seem to get behind our team the way other nations do. The
