Phonies I have known
TSO and I were having a conversation the other day about the phonies I’ve chatted with over the years and I thought maybe some of those discussions might be of interest to some of you. For example, there was Bob King, known as “Spooky 8″, he wrote a book about his adventures by that title […]
Inflation: It’s Not Just for Beef Any More
The other day, I wrote about the rise in beef prices. Beef is at a 27 year high. Here are a few other things found in many people’s grocery basket (well, in normal people’s grocery basket; PETA members might not have them in theirs): pork, shrimp, eggs. How have they fared since Feb 2009, you […]

People are getting sloppy and it takes too much of my time to check their facts. But, some place called Political Ears picked up on a satirical piece at our friends, […]
NATO beefs up forces near Ukraine
In the Stars & Stripes, it’s reported that NATO is letting the world know that after weeks of diddling, they’re deploying more forces to the area around the eastern Ukraine. “We will have more planes in the air, more ships on the water, and more readiness on the land,” NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told […]
The McVeigh zombie in the New York Times
In the pages of the New York Times, another Leftist egg head, Kathleen Belew reminds us of Timothy McVeigh and his military service in the wake of the unreasonable coverage that Frazier Glenn Miller has spawned with his killing spree last Sunday.
