Until the IDF dropped in on the Gaza Food Folks & Fun Flotilla (without bringing so much as a nice loaf of marble rye as welcome gift) we had no idea that the IDFers had a blog. Awesome! The IDF Spokesperson blog is kind of like Contentions but with less chest-thumping butched-up bluster from Noah [...]

Nobody could have predicted that Israel’s IDF, who are normally the poster boys for restraint and “looks like someone needs a hug”, would go buck wild on so-called humanitarians with their “food” and Water Purifiers of Destruction.

Backstabbing douche and was-a-liberal-until-9/11 Roger Simon  eulogizes Dennis Hopper: So when you think of Dennis on that iconic bike in Easy Rider, think of America at its best, out on the open road, optimistic and heading straight on with unflinching belief in liberty. …until a southern redneck with a shotgun comes along and wants to [...]

Sound like fun? Well shut up and let’s do it anyway. Here is an excerpt [...]

Sorry for the late hour. The Padres lost but are still tied with the Yankees for the second best record in baseball (at close to one sixth of the payroll) and after the game a friend who works for the organization took us for a behind the scenes tour of Petco Park to see how [...]

I’m crashing on/bumping up against/being threatened at gunpoint by a deadline to go to a baseball event this afternoon, so let me see if I can wrap this one up in shiny package of stupidage.
