Join the Army!
The Ukrainian Army that is: I think that our own armed services could learn a thing or to from this ad. And if that wasn’t enough incentive for Ukrainian guys, check out this photo. Hat tip to Instapundit. ..bruce w..

The latest from Improv Everywhere
I’m not a big fan of ‘performance art’, but I really like the stuff that Improv Everywhere does. And this is perhaps one of their most brilliant stunts yet: staging a musical in a food court somewhere in Southern California: Be sure to read the Improv Everywhere article to get the details on how they […]
Flying the SR-71 Blackbird
There is a special place in my heart — and, I suspect, that of most geeks of a certain age, not to mention virtually every pilot who has ever flown — for the famous SR-71 “Blackbird” spy plane, the fastest publicly acknowledged plane that has ever flown (though see Henderson’s posting on possible classified replacements).

Homebrew terrorism
Here in Colorado, we’ve had on-going trials involving the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front (ALF and ELF — how cute!), a group that practices domestic terrorism in support of their environmental goals.

Well, here’s a link to a funny, scathing, profane, yet quite accurate presentation (using stick figures) on how we got into the subprime mess […]
God bless Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie, who has been doing humanitarian work in Iraq, wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times that says: the surge is helping the UN’s humanitarian efforts and that she’d like the troops to stay: During my trip I also met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has announced the creation of […]
Stuff White People Like: a new blog
It’s not often that you see a blog hit it out of the park right form the start, but this one has: Stuff White People Like. It’s one of the few blogs where I went back through the archives and read every single entry. Most entries make me laugh; some make me wince (at myself). […]
