I wish it was all cartoony-antics, screaming interviews, ridiculous stunts and writing stories about fake matches, but I spent most of my time reporting [...] Mister Roberts (1955) A naval officer longing for active duty clashes with his vainglorious captain.

Get a load of this — from Liverpool. A military show was cancelled (sic) after town hall chiefs withdrew funding, because it didn’t meet their “diversity criteria”. The eighth annual Liverpool Military [...] Both interpretations of the title apply. You know how You Tube suggests videos that you might be interested in? I don’t know what in my viewing history made the You Tube bots decide that I would want to view the following, but it was number two on my recommendations today and I simply couldn’t resist. [...] (ed. — Proud husband prerogative bump…) It’s amazing what one sees in SoCal on our wide wonderful freeways.

What’s on your list for the season? Maybe this summer we could figure out how to have a book club. The floor is open for suggestions! For my own, I have decided to follow a theme, and that theme is the court & times of Henry [...] David French writing for The Corner at the National Review On-Line has some interesting things to say about awards and decorations in the Global War on Terror (can we still call it that?). Are we less courageous now? Or is the military stifling valor awards in a labyrinthine bureaucracy dominated by rear echelon second-guessers? …The [...] I’ve seen the Reebok ads for these shoes in the states, but nothing like this… Share on Facebook Share on Facebook On the one hand that’s a “No sh!t Sherlock!” kind of statement… but coming from this guy — that’s a smack down. From The Corner over at NRO. Share on Facebook From the”People’s Cube” comes this awesome stuff. Building a better future can’t wait for your headache to stop!

Cast: Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum. Dir: Jack Smight. C-131 mins, TV-MA. 5:45 PM. EDT. TCM Not the best movie by a stretch, but it’s huge and star-packed and awesomely awesome. I [...] Our Dear Leader announced his “national security strategy” yesterday, which is great, except that it wasn’t national, it won’t make us secure and I’m not sure how you can call passing the buck a “strategy”.
