Ah, if Dante were only alive today
I must confess affection for a video game ad that starts by quoting the opening lines of “The Inferno” by Dante — and then segues into into battle sequences that look like a cross between “God of War” and “Left 4 Dead”. ..bruce w..

BBQ blogging — 31 hours to go [updated]
As noted below, we’re having one of our Very Large Scale BBQs tomorrow (Saturday). I got up this morning at 0545 and fired up the smoker. While (as you can see) I use lump charcoal and soaked wood to do the actual smoking, I unapologetically started the fire in the firebox with MatchLight charcoal and […]
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
Over 40 years ago, Pete Seeger wrote a song ostensibly about an Army platoon on stateside maneuvers but actually referring to the escalation of the Vietnam War. Here are the lyrics: It was back in nineteen forty-two, I was a member of a good platoon. We were on maneuvers in-a Loozianna, One night by the […]

The ipecac kicks in
In the fall of 2008, in a political discussion with a friend, she asked if I was worried about Obama being elected. I said no, for various reasons. First, I felt (wrongly, in retrospect) that Obama, like Bill Clinton, would largely govern from the center. Second, I had (and have) a lot of trust in […]
