The U.S. Navy [...]
It’s Hockey Season!
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Well, street hockey season, anyway. Kyle’s season started last night, and although a few kids on his team wanted to play goalie, Kyle got the nod. His coaches – two high school-aged girls – thought he played the best during practice and gave him the chance. It helped that he played goalie for his team [...]

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010Millions of Germans shut down the Autobahn this weekend for the “Still Life” festival. An event featuring picnics, shows, and other attractions for the citizenry.

Obama’s Agenda: By Any Means Necessary?
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010President Obama’s offshore drilling moratorium may make his liberal base and the environmentalist whackos happy, but his smug sense of self-satisfaction will bite him in the arse.

Yet Another White House Party
Monday, July 19th, 2010Barack and Michelle Obama are preparing to host a gala in the White House tonight, as Broadway comes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe I misread the articles, but didn’t the Obamas just get back from vacation – their 7th – yesterday? I guess being president is haaard, and he should be allowed some down time. [...]
Monday Morning Morons
Monday, July 19th, 2010What if you held a strike and no one cared?

Joe Biden: Corruptus In Extremis
Sunday, July 18th, 2010The FEC fined Vice-President Joe Biden $219,000 for spending violations during his typically terrible 2008 presidential run. Wow, I am shocked and appalled. I guess Slow Joe thinks that campaign violations are not a “big f**king deal.” A day after the Federal Elections Commission slapped Joe Biden with a $219,000 fine for spending violations during [...]
