Why we love the media
Quick plug – for you e-book/sci-fi types, Arthur C. Clarke’s complete short stories is available on both Amazon and B&N for $1.99 for a couple of days. My paperback version is probably 3″ thick and cost many times that… this is a bargain to jump on. Shameless commercial plug over. This one just caught my […]
Green? Energy
Sweetwater, Texas. Nice enough place – first town of any size out of Abilene headed to El Paso. Who would think they would be at the center of a green energy controversy? One of the parts of the bill of goods sold us on green energy is how “clean” it is. Everything making energy from […]
MIT says no
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is arguably one of the finest engineering schools in the country, if not the world. They do teach other subjects, I am sure, but their core strength is more STEM than liberal arts, right? The Massachusetts Institute of Technology publicly rejected an offer from the Trump administration Friday that would’ve […]
Friday extremes
Gotta tell you, when I read this column Fox News the first time, I started looking for a Babylon Bee byline (more B-alliteration to go with Wednesday’s column.) Y’all better find a seat, make sure your heart meds are up to date, and smelling salts are handy. Baltimore, that deathtrap at the top of […]

UPDATE Monday 1 September – the ‘intrepid’ sailors have returned to Barcelona due to heavy seas. Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg joined a flotilla of boats loaded with aid for Gaza as they set […]
Good Idea Fairy in action
Electric cars… I’m not going to start a discussion on ’em – think we have beaten them to death by now. But an incident this week makes me wonder whether the Navy should start using them. As weapons. A cargo ship that had been delivering new vehicles to Mexico sank in the North Pacific Ocean, […]
Iran Official admits to terrorism.
Today my mailbox is full of reports about an Iranian Official admitting to sponsoring terrorism. This is like my wife admitting to eating chocolate. So much derp in all of this I hardly know where to begin. Iran is not the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world… Russia is and always has been […]
Mikey Weinstein and the NDAA
President, Military Religious Freedom Foundation We’ve been following Mikey and his MRFF for quite some time now. Interesting fellow- Air Force U grad where he was apparently exposed to soul-searing harassment. He has proclaimed himself the guardian of civil rights for military members and will staunchly settle out-of-court for any display of Christianity he deems […]
