Floyd | Tuesday, 7th of February 2012 at 08:05:43 AM I’m not sure what to think of this piece on Afghanistan from the Armed Forces Journal, by Lt. Col. Daniel Davis — who used to be on Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s staff (Drudge linked to it)…:
From Bad to Abysmal Much of what I saw during my deployment, let alone read or wrote in official [...]

Breaking sports news video. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL highlights and more.
NBCSports Channel had a great two hour townhall meeting hosted by Bob Costas (part of a show called “Costas Tonight”) on the state of the NFL. They talked a [...]

Floyd | Wednesday, 1st of February 2012 at 12:02:10 PM I’ll admit I never paid much attention to Warren Buffet — the so called “Sage of Omaha” — until he started yammering about higher taxes. Heck, I probably would have assumed he was a Republican I knew so little about him other than being a billionaire and having the Midas touch in investments. Sadly [...]

Floyd | Tuesday, 31st of January 2012 at 05:48:12 AM Chris Christie is at it again… a NJ lawmaker compared Christie to George Wallace — segregationist governor — for saying that gay marriage should be put up for referendum as opposed to legislated from Trenton. Christie, answers that charge here… in classic Christie fashion.

Rufus | Saturday, 28th of January 2012 at 03:06:09 PM (I found this article by James Altucher on TechCrunch http://techcrunch.com/ and I thought some here would find it interesting. Here’s the link to James’ post, if you want to comment to him directly, http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/28/why-every-entrepreneur-should-self-publish-a-book/ I’d be interested in the opinions of those here; Lars, Rich, David (any others?) with experience with this topic.)

Floyd | Saturday, 28th of January 2012 at 09:14:49 AM Actress — and lesbian — Cynthia Nixon, most famously from Sex and the City, has run afoul of the gay PC mafia by stating that she chose to be gay.
Cynthia Nixon learned the hard way this week that when it comes to gay civil rights, the personal is always political. Very political.

Floyd | Thursday, 26th of January 2012 at 08:04:47 PM Stories about John Tyler’s grandson still being alive are making the rounds at The Huffington Post, Yahoo! News, etc. That’s John Tyler — the 10th President of these United States.
Whatever… Friggin’ amateurs. Anyone who had been reading this little blog two years ago already knew that.

Floyd | Thursday, 26th of January 2012 at 04:34:44 PM I like Starbucks coffee… or rather I like some of it. Christmas Blend is my favorite and I like the medium roasts though I stay away from their dark roasts because they always taste too smoky to me. Anyway… living in the People’s Republic of California I pretty much don’t think about the issue [...]

Floyd | Saturday, 21st of January 2012 at 12:20:41 PM Here’s an “interesting” story out of Iowa from The Des Moines Register:
A Des Moines man has been arrested after police say he used, or tried to use, the identity of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz in a scheme to falsely implicate Schultz in perceived unethical behavior in office.
Zachary Edwards was arrested Friday [...]

Floyd | Friday, 20th of January 2012 at 01:16:03 PM A pretty consistent question I get from students over the years is why do liberals often appear to be either very rich or very poor. The very por are easy to explain… they are often direct beneficiaries of government largesse. But what do affluent people get from big government liberal policies like the environmental [...]

Floyd | Thursday, 19th of January 2012 at 07:56:42 AM Speaking of #2… Newt Gingrich’s #2 wife is taking a #2 all over his campaign. This is Herman Cain redux. I know in today’s world being divorced is about as common as walking and breathing (that doesn’t make that a good thing, it just IS). But anyone married three times is going to draw [...]

Floyd | Thursday, 19th of January 2012 at 06:26:48 AM Sadly Rick Perry’s Presidential campaign was European Vacation and not Vacation. CNN is reporting that Rick Perry will drop out of the race today.
Rick Perry is telling supporters that he will drop his bid Thursday for the Republican presidential nomination, two sources familiar with his plans told CNN.
The Texas governor will make [...]

Craptastic YouTube is at it again, freezing Palestinian Media Watches account for daring to post a video in which the Palestinian Authority Mufti says that it is the destiny of Muslims to kill Jews, which two of the more relied-upon Hadith’s actually say. But – hell – you [...]

Floyd | Tuesday, 17th of January 2012 at 07:51:23 AM This is Exhibit A that despite real misgivings about all of the GOP slate of candidates…. all of them (OK — maybe not Ron Paul — but only because he’d allow WW3 to start with his foreign policy) — are a damn sight better than Barack Obama. Republicans have had it up to here… [...]

Floyd | Monday, 16th of January 2012 at 02:24:48 PM Newsweek finally descends below the intellectual level of Mad Magazine. Two things… 1. Newsweek still prints? 2. I thought Andrew Sullivan was dead.

Floyd | Sunday, 15th of January 2012 at 02:21:49 PM There’s an old saying — I’m not sure if it’s pure Texan or not — that someone who was extremely happy was as “happy as a puppy with two peters.” I’m not sure if Hazel Jones is happy, but she seems to be. From ABC News:
When British television aired a story about a woman [...]
