I am a big fan of IGoogle. Its a great way to put the content of your favorite news sites and blogs all together in one place-and then make it your default home page when you fire up the browser. It makes a great aggregator and allows me quickly browse

I'd like to put in another plug for ROK Drop if I may. It is probably the only military blog trying to drag some sense into the discussion about the supposed "problems with the military culture" ( which was just fine until feminists came along and decided to fuck it

There is not much for me to say about the verdict. I feel about the same way I did when OJ was aquitted-shock that it happened, and no surprise that it happened exactly the way it did in Florida. Florida's gun laws suck-and the "stand your ground law" that Zimmerman based

I love the writing of Charles Pierce. First of all,he is not afraid of all the conservative concern trolls who get all bent out of shape when one calls one of the Representatives from Wisconisn , the "zombie eyed granny starver" he truly is. Nor does he fall apart when they

This originally appeared over at ROK Drop, but it is such a great story of heroism and calm under extraordinary circumstances, that it is worth pausing and repeating here: From GI Korea's post: Lee Yoon-hye, an Asiana Airlines flight attendant, talks about the plane’s crash at a hotel in San

No

Get the hell out of Afghanistan-as fast as we can. I would love to see that happen. If we can't afford to pay our employees their full salary, can't afford to buy the things the nation needs, can't afford to do the things the nation should be doing-then we don't

The irony here is rich: A new Kansas law allowing gun owners to carry weapons in public buildings, including schools, has thrust a major Des Moines-based insurer into the national gun control debate. The EMC Insurance Cos. insures 85 percent to 90 percent of all Kansas school districts and has

I swung a golf club today for the first time in 2 years. Actually had some good shots- all things considered. Its like riding a bike, it all comes back. ( Including the hooks and slices). It was a great weekend. The S.O. had to work for most of it-which

Or as the German’s refer to it-just another work day. But for me it was good-slept for about 12 hours recharging my batteries from hard booming work in Bucharest. Took the S.O. down to France today-and we did some French wine shopping. Came back to a dinner of Chinese food
