  • Girly Boy

    —Boots and Sabers

    Instead of watching football, belching, and scratching inappropriate things, I’ll be spending my afternoon helping over 100 little girls get a makeover for a fundraiser.  I’m fairly certain that I will need to shoot something this evening.

  • How do you want your eggs?

    —scott d. feldstein

    Number of comments: 1

    I like eggs just about any way you can make them. But when you’re out for breakfast and you get asked this question, how do you answer? Me, I go for over-easy. Sunny-side up is okay, but tends to come with runny whites, which I don’t care for. Scrambled is [...]

  • Happy holidays, part X

    —Patrick McIlheran: Right On

    When people say “the holiday season,” it seems they’re usually using it as shorthand for Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the hassle in between, while trying to sound like they’re including Hanukkah and that Muslim holiday that most of them, unless they’re Muslim, can’t remember the name of. Though, pleasantly enough, [...]

  • Afgan Strategy "Doh" Moment

    —Dad29

    Interesting article here on the current Obama strategy for Afghanistan.

  • ObamaCare: Home Health Care Is Toast

    —Dad29

    One of the better Medicare programs is Home Health Care.  In general, this program allows 'traveling' healthcare professionals to aid relatives in attending to the needs of individuals who remain at home instead of in managed-care environments such as nursing homes.

    It saves money AND is a comfort to [...]
