I’ve been running around since early this morning and didn’t get a chance to put up our annual Veterans Day post listing the vets in our respective families. Here it is. ============= Bruce Webster: CPL Darren Green, USMC (active) — just returned from a tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan (see photo above) [nephew] CPL Jon A. […]
On November 5th, the UK Guardian revealed that members of the UN atomic watchdog agency, the IAEA, were seeking clarification from Iran on evidence that Iranian scientists had come into possession of highly advanced, proven working weapon designs. This design, if they do in fact have it, is the same design developed by Pakistan and […]
…can’t trust that day. Or the weekend, apparently. Video above courtesy of Gateway Pundit. Not what George Lucas had in mind, I dare say. Backlash? What backlash? Once again, the “Serenity” trailer as a metaphor for the growing conservative rebellion. “No. They’re not going to see this coming.” The poster below has been showing up […]

AP reports that for 8,200 deals — the most common — buyers traded in their old Ford 150 pickups for new Ford 150 pickups. Fuel economy […]
OK, not “back” as in “all new strips”. “Back” as in the complete collection of strips in a series of hardbound volumes (just like “Calvin and Hobbes” and “The Far Side“). I always liked “Bloom County” better than “Doonesbury”; both strips had liberal sensibilities, but Breathed never took himself or his strip as seriously as […]
…oh what a beautiful day! McDonnell wins in Virginia by nearly a 20% margin; ditto for the Republican candidates in the Lt. Governor and State Attorney General races.
