A Bakersfield, CA woman — a doctor — tried to break into her “on-again/off-again boyfriend’s house last Wednesday — hereafter known as Ash Wednesday. From AOL News: A doctor involved in an “on-again, off-again” relationship apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend’s home by sliding down the chimney, police said Tuesday. Her decomposing body was [...] 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. [...] General (ret.) Fred Franks – 2008 Not a new book (published in 1997) but new to me and a fascinating read, Into the Storm: A Study in Command was co-authored by Tom Clancy and General (ret.) Fred Franks. Franks, if you’re not familiar with him, led VII Corps during the First Gulf War, the [...] 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 [...] Share on Facebook If you haven’t been there, allow me to suggest a trip to shorpy.com. Shorpy is a vast interwebs repository of vintage photographs. Not photos of great historical significance mind you, but rather pictures of everyday life. Most are very old, from the 19th century and early twentieth, but there some as late as the 70’s. [...] Via BLACKFIVE comes this link and video regarding the Memorial Day speech of 1LT Dan Berschinski in his hometown of Peachtree, GA. The LT lost both his legs in an IED blast in Afghanistan. Share on Facebook He’s all over the web, so why not a stop at Threedonia? When I was a kid, my musical instrument of choice was the drums. It didn’t take me long to realize that I sucked, and I put my sticks away. (Something to do with not possessing any sense of rhythm – which seems pretty discriminatory). [...] I confess I have seen some better buzz-jobs, but they aren’t committed to videotape or digits — at least as far as I know they aren’t. Most notable was an F-4 doing an approach to a taxi-way, and then initiating a go-around right over a group of photographers, knocking over stuff, blowing bags, hats [...] When I heard Tom Petty really encouraged Mike Campbell to let the guitar rip on their upcoming Mojo album, never dreamed it’d be as ass-kicking as this. Seems to have inspired the rest of the band, too. Share on Facebook …other attractive aspects: Proving that there is still hope for our educational system, a senior at Purdue University has devised a rather brilliant experiment. From Robert Spencer’s jihadwatch: Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi caused outrage and raised eyebrows around the world last week when he blamed earthquakes on scantily clad women rather than the movement of the [...] There’s some pretty disturbing video featured over at Big Journalism today. Applying the “what if Bush did this test” to the situation that developed over at Lafayette Park in D.C. yesterday, one can only conclude that if this kind of crap happened in 2008 rather than 2010 libs would be screaming “police state!” and “fascism!” [...] Somebody here probably knew. Perhaps everybody. (Since I’m generally the last person to know). But this gem from Lileks blew my mind. I mean, I loved the remake as much as anybody – I just didn’t have a clue that it WAS a remake. On another note: Rufus is smoking crack today.

I would say more about this topic, but [...] This speech is 12:10 long…and is worth every second. You owe it to yourself to watch the speech given by LTC Randolph White at the graduation from Basic Combat Training by America’s newest Infantrymen.
