Mike | Thursday, 31st of December 2009 at 01:43:54 PM When I heard last night that Rush Limbaugh had been hospitalized for chest pains, I immediately jetted out to Hawaii to check on him. Unfortunately, he wasn’t in his room when I got there, so we couldn’t visit.
I was, however, able to snap a quick photo of the room:
As you can see, [...]

Wankette | Thursday, 31st of December 2009 at 10:17:23 AM Because his Doctor Who is coming to “The End of Time” this Saturday on BBCAmerica.
Because he’s done more for trench coats than anyone since Bogart.
Because his Tenth Doctor blew life into a creaky sci-fi series with intensity, humor, and crackling chemistry with his leading ladies.
Because his Hamlet’s pretty good too.
Because [...]

JohnFN | Thursday, 31st of December 2009 at 09:33:33 AM While the private sector has bled jobs to the tune of seven million since 2007, one aspect of employment hasn’t been fazed. The public sector has remained quite steady in retention. From Michael Barone:
Private-sector employment peaked at 115.8 million in December 2007, when the recession officially began. It was down to 108.5 million last [...]

It’s time to mark the end of 2009 and I hope you will all join me in a wishing 2009 a hearty “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.” As we enter year 2 O.E. (Obama Era) it might be useful to look back and see how far [...]

Outlaw13 | Thursday, 31st of December 2009 at 03:57:01 AM A fitting tribute to those noble warriors of the southwest, the Apache.
Actually I feel the tribe has grounds for a lawsuit for this and the Sugar Hill Gang’s version of this song. The instrumental version by Jimmy Thackery is quite cool however.
Happy New Year everyone! Good riddance to 2009 that’s for [...]

Eric | Wednesday, 30th of December 2009 at 11:19:09 PM Never let it be said the New York Times can’t occasionally get something right these days. Similar in excellent tone and reverence to the cinematic memorial TCM recently took, a tribute to 2009′s losses in the music world.
Also, courtesy the fine folks at Billboard, an incredibly sad look back at the many musicians/performers’ [...]

Eric | Wednesday, 30th of December 2009 at 04:31:24 PM After a week away to celebrate the Christmas season with our respective families (and pick up a nasty case of Phoenix-area allergies in my case), RF3D roars in the New Year weekend with a show dedicated completely to the Obamacare monstrosity insanity crammed suppository proposed legislation.
As he’s been known to do ’round these [...]

and quacks like a duck… and walks like a duck, then it’s probably… an isolated incident.
AP is reporting that there was a second would-be underpants bomber apprehended in – of all places – Somalia last month. And he – go figure – had a bag of powdered chemicals, liquids and a syringe! Gracious [...]

trzupr | Wednesday, 30th of December 2009 at 09:57:01 AM As most everyone here knows, the norm – in geologic terms – is for the earth to be in an ice age, not our current comfy, warmy present. The present era, known as an interglacial period (this one is called the Holocence) has lasted a bit over 10,000 years now and, based on the record, [...]

If you could be anywhere on planet Earth tomorrow to ring in the New Year, where would you be? We’ve already learned curmudgeonly JohnFN doesn’t like to celebrate the holiday, and would prefer to be in an empty newsroom, but for those of you who are not cynical agoraphobics, pick a spot!

O.K., it’s almost New Year’s Eve. You get to plan a party. A dinner party. Which living and/or historical figures would you choose to ring in 2010 with? And, to make it extra tricky you cannot choose Jesus H. Christ nor any of the original apostles.

Mike | Wednesday, 30th of December 2009 at 07:40:30 AM The President knew what? My constituents would like to know the answer. — Hillary Clinton on the Senate floor, 2003.
Those words were screeched by the former senator—while she brandished a copy of the New York Post bearing the headline, “Bush Knew!”— when it was discovered that the White House [...]

Toss up – who’s the supreme humorist? P.J. O’Rourke or Dave Barry? Given O’Rourke’s lack of output as of late, I tip my hat to Barry. Here’s his annual treat, the Year In Review. A taste:

JohnFN | Tuesday, 29th of December 2009 at 03:38:48 PM Instapundit had this bit from the Washington Post that is too good not to share.
The 23-year-old Nigerian man accused of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of an American airliner apparently turned to the Internet for counseling and companionship, writing in an online forum that he was “lonely” and had “never found a true Muslim [...]

A principal of military science says that artillery trumps fortifications. Ancient peoples built crude wooden palisades to defend themselves against the spear and ax wielding invaders. Those defensive structures would fall to siege engines. Moving forward, masonry fortifications were constructed, only to crumble when confronted by catapults. Medieval castle builders would strengthen those walls, [...]

Mike | Tuesday, 29th of December 2009 at 09:19:43 AM Frisking every passenger doesn’t seem like a viable solution.
Travelers taking international flights to the United States today faced pat-down searches, new limits on carry-on luggage and more thorough screening at airport checkpoints after a Nigerian man who claimed to have ties to Al Qaeda allegedly [allegedly!] tried to bomb a jetliner headed to Detroit.
