Burn Notice season finale tonight – I can’t wait! Proving that there is an exception to prove each and every rule, I an enamored with Fiona. Her’s is not usually my preferred body type – nothing against the Victoria’s Secret model archetype, it’s just not my personal favorite cup of tea. But who doesn’t love Fi? [...] Penguins, very popular at Chez Porvaznik. Another H/T to Ms. Brooke. Share on Facebook While President Poopypants (thanks Scott M!) vacays somewhere… President and Mrs. Bush are putting their time to good use. They were in Maine Sunday and dropped by The Run For the Fallen. Here’s the story from WMTW Channel8: Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura surprised participants in the third annual “Run [...] Uncle Teddy sure does. The loony left can say what they want about The Nuge. He doesn’t care and those on our side of the aisle love him all the more for it. Nugent … has “well over a dozen” tracks written and “eight or nine that I have to capture on tape as soon [...] Airplanes are, by their nature, awfully beautiful things. And, fixed-wing airframes are far more attractive than their rotary-winged cousins. An Apache is scary as hell, but it’s not very sexy (sorry Outlaw). So, herewith is my top five sexiest fixed-wing aircraft of all time. For the record: I am none too committed to this list. [...] With one more August show to go, an easy way to get caught up on the return of Radio Free Threedonia.

A dude named John McLoone (not making that up) tasked a computer to figure that out, after his six year old daughter asked him how to win at the game. Here’s the methodology he used: To find out, McLoone wrote a program that would play Hangman with all [...] This is the quintessential play by Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. He is also a great guy off the field too. This provides a nice tonic to the douchebag liar post below. From Yahoo! Sports: It’s that kind of modesty and drive that helped Jason Witten earn Pro Football Weekly’s 2010 Arthur [...] Here is their Legendary Shots YouTube channel… it is as labeled. Yes I know it took hundreds of shots to get one to go in I’m sure but it’s compelling YouTube and beats doing drugs. I wish I’d had YouTube for all the stupid crap I did as a kid. Maybe [...] Share on Facebook Czech President Vaclav Havel and the Rolling Stones… Prague 1990 Here is a great piece from yesterday’s The New York Times about the 20th anniversary of the Rolling Stones coming to Prague — after 40-plus years behind the Iron Curtain and 25-years after the British Invasion of rock and roll had swept the West. That night in [...] The things one finds on these here interwebs. Yesterday’s Classic Pick O’ the Day — or today’s rather is The Quiet Man.

It’s a very well-done site and if [...] From BlackFive who reminds us that today is National Airborne Day! Share on Facebook Share on Facebook There’s a Cowboys game on tonight, but I will always miss this guy…they broke the mold… and yes he did have a sense of humor. We miss you coach!

Normally I’m not much for trick National Anthems… I liked this one though… and it reminded me of this… I know I know… “Jack White sucks… BLAHBLAHBLAH” Share on Facebook Part of the big lie of feminism has been the notion that men are lazy and women can and do alot more than men. After all they work hard outside the home and then do ALL the chores at home too. Right? Wrong. A new study from the London School of [...] Watch this time lapse video of a Space Shuttle being prepared for launch…pretty cool and soon to be no more. You also might want to adjust your speakers this thing opens to 100% and starts playing on its own…sorry Share on Facebook Obama dissed the Boy Scouts — skipping the 100th annual Boy Scout Jamboree to be on The View. He sent a taped message instead. This was their response. And here’s the patch: Share on Facebook Eleanor Powell was, for my money, the best female dancer from the Golden Age of musicals. Astaire concurred in that assessment by the by, having said the Powell was the one girl hoofer who could out-dance him. “She ‘put ‘em down like a man’, no ricky-ticky-sissy stuff with Ellie” he said. “She really knocked out [...] Share on Facebook The Sikorsky X-2 demonstrator set a new world speed record for rotary-winged aircraft today: 258 mph. The old record of 249 mph, set by a Westland Lynx (British, in other words) had stood for 24 years. Say it with me: U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!!! No tail rotor, special anti-vibration technology, a pusher propeller and coaxial contra-rotating main [...] If any of you Chicago-area Threedonians are looking for something fun to do on August 14, you’re invited to the Tri-Count-Teas “Picnic In the Park” in downtown Bartlett. Lots of conservative speakers will be there, including Republican candidate for Governor Bill Brady. Your favorite Threedonian blogger (ahem – that would be moi) will be co-MC [...] Was honestly wanting to post this earlier today, after reading the St. Nicholas story, but even more on the mind thanks to a CA federal — cough, cough — judge. Share on Facebook Just wanted to quickly point your attention to three excellent pieces over at National Review Online. At the Corner, Andy McCarthy details the changing role of the federal government on the issue of immigration, which he points out is distinct from naturalization. …in 1899 the Supreme Court, in the so-called Chinese Exclusion Case (Chae Chan Ping v.

If only current Hollywood could be this creative. Hey, Floyd, road trip to Las Vegas, NM, for the Convoy and Red Dawn screenings? Avenge me!!!!!

This tour is going to be [...] Ladies, gentlemen, and Rufus… I present to you the new American League RBI leader — for 1961. In the better late than never file… a baseball statistician discovered a scoring error that has resulted in Jim Gentile (pictured above) now sharing the AL RBI title with Roger Maris. From AOL Fanhouse’s Greg Couch So [...] This is awesome… not the way I’d train my employee, but these things don’t always work according to corporate’s plan. And I like the way the story is presented straight up — no editorializing that I noticed. Share on Facebook In my International Law seminars we often discuss the similarities between pirates (or pyrates as Daniel Dafoe would write) and terrorists. I’ve just put the above book on my list since that course is coming up in the Fall again. The history of dealing with pirates could offer a great road map for [...] 3D — like IMAX — can be (and usually is) little more than a party trick unless used sparingly or in some way integral to the story. I can’t think of a better use for 3-D than this short film “City of Ruins” showing at The Warsaw Uprising Museum. It looks powerful. Here’s the [...] Notice the above… pretty cool postcard huh?

You can watch episode 1 in it’s entirety HERE, it’s subtitled in English and has animated violence. For [...] That’s how this website translates, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” It’s amusing for a while. You can watch the translations as they occur, from English to a random language and back. It seems that Chinese really cannot be translated by a machine. When a piece of text completely derails, it’s usually because it hit the [...] The Vatican is allowing the publication of 100 of its most interesting documents from its Secret Archives. From The Christian Science Monitor: “We were amazed by the access we were given and the speed with which the whole project was completed,” says Paul Van den Heuvel, the head of the Belgian publishing house undertaking the [...] |
