United Airlines this year-decided to say a cheery “fuck you” to its loyal passengers closing in on Million Mile status ( and thus lifetime Gold Membership) like me. They decided to f*ck me at the drive through: LAST week, United Airlines announced a modification to its frequent-flyer programme, MileagePlus, that

I was going bash my favorite group of deluded people tonight, namely, those who seem to think that after 8 years of effort, almost 5000 American lives wasted, and 5 times that number wounded-we should somehow go back into a country that proven itself completely unworthy of the sacrifice the

When one updates one’s “brag sheet”-and gets a little counseling. Mine typically goes something like this.

I surely did not expect to see Spain fold like a cheap suit in the first match. It just got its culo- well and surely kicked by Netherlands 5-1. On an unrelated note, legions of Croatian fans are looking up the Portuguese phrase for “lousy referee” and hurling it at Japanese referee Yuichi

I woke up this morning to see articles blaming the current situation on Iraq-on our failure to leave troops there. John McCain is living up to his reputation of never meeting a war he did not want Americans to fight. They are trotting out the “I told you so” brigades

This will be my second and hopefully, the last post on the abomination that is the Harry Harris sponsored assrape investigation into the Blue Angels “command climate”.

Today was a sad day for me. It is probably the first day since I graduated from the Citadel, that I was ashamed to wear my ring. A ring I worked hard to earn-and usually wear with pride. Why? Because it is disgusting to me, to watch legions of my

It is with sad and undisguised disgust that I watch the collective conservative freak out of the release of SGT Bowe Berghdahl, the only prisoner of war held by the Taliban. In the early morning of June 30, 2009, Berghdal went missing from his unit’s small outpost in Mest, a

It took the S.O. and I a long time to get Internet connectivity to the house, besides our cell phones and a stick for the computer. While I was away, it was installed-but our bandwidth is severely limited due to the lack of fiber (and cable) to our little village.

Some things just set me off. Today was a day where I came across something quite innocently posted by someone on the old Facebook page, that when one reads it, you just have to shake your head in disgust. Over at The Federalist, a slick conservative blog for the learning
