Okay, here it is: Girlfriend is a budding pastry chef, who made a subtle hint yesterday about wanting a Mixmaster. I'm thinking "thats no big deal, what the hell?" So, I go up to Amazon, and theres all these colors, and all these freakin attachments, and DAMN that thing is expensive!! I thought I was going to get away cheap on this deal, ya know? So, you owners of these things, what is so great about them anyway, and what attachments should I buy with the thing, and what freaking COLOR and, and, and, by the time I'm ready...

Pilot ejected, and has been located.

Folks, after South Park, Battlestar Gallactica is the closest mirror to current society and political topics of all current TV shows. Great acting, great writing, fair and balanced. Tonight, the show returns, with the colonists under control of the Cylons, while Adama and the fleet who fled before the Cylon invasion, ponder whether or not to attempt a rescue mission. Its good stuff! Dont miss it. 7pm Central time.

Feeling the collective aches in many stomachs lately, I thought maybe it was time for another rant? Where to begin? It was only a few days ago when we were riding high, enjoying the drop in gas prices and looking forward to a record stock market close. At the same time, our enemy on the Left was beginning to panic, having all their various attack strategies failing, as Bush rose in the polls at the same time that people started paying attention to the upcoming election cycle. I think it is important to look back beyond those days, and remember...

No one should be forced to watch that commie uh, I mean Katie, in order to hear Limbaugh, so here you go!

Iran unveiled its first locally manufactured fighter plane Wednesday during large-scale military exercises, state-run television reported. The report said the bomber Saegheh is similar to the American F-18 fighter plane, but "more powerful." It also said the plane was "designed, optimized and improved by Iranian experts." State TV said the Iranian air force had commissioned the Saegheh plane after many test flights in the past year. Television footage showed the airplane taking off and launching two rockets. The plane had a small cockpit and only one pilot. "Saegheh is capable of launching both rockets and bombs," the report said. General...

Not fake in the sense that that isn’t Castro, but they were not taken at the time they are stated to have been taken. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the images in this post. The picture with the news paper is the giveaway. That is indeed a picture of Castro holding a newspaper, but not THAT news paper. Another image of a newspaper has been placed on top of whatever paper Castro was holding in the photo. Look just under and to the right of the left hand. There are FLESH TONES barely noticeable where there should only be...

So, the "civilian village of Qana is responsible for the deaths of Israelis. Full Scale War, baby.

I often mention in my posts a little Mexican restaurant that I frequent here in San Diego that goes by the name of Las Quatro Milpas, which serves the best authentic Mexican food in San Diego. I mention it today, because of what has changed when I stand in that long line in the heat down on Logan Avenue waiting for those 5 dear Mexican woman to serve the hundreds of us who show up before I melt in the hot sun. The line outside of Quatro Milpas is a place to meet new friends, reunite with people you have...

For you who missed it, this morning Tony Blair gave the best response on the War on Terror that I have ever seen. I was so impressed that I decided to record it off my TiVo and upload it to YouTube (my first time) so that it would be available to everyone. Blair absolutly nails it, and it should be viewed by everyone. The link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVkCCjWAleY

I am often amazed at how blessed we Conservatives are in the choice of our enemies on the left. Whenever I am sure that they cannot get any more outrageouse and downright nuts, they go and do something like this. If the mods will allow this link, this is something you really have to see to believe. The link is below.

<p>WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court intervened Monday to save a large cross on city property in southern California.</p> <p>A lower court judge had ordered the city of San Diego to remove the cross or be fined $5,000 a day.</p> <p>Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, acting for the high court, issued a stay while supporters of the cross continue their legal fight.</p>

One of the least understood phenomena of a bomb blast is overpressure. Everything in the blast perimeter is subject to a sudden and profound increase in air pressure. This wave of blast overpressure declines rapidly the further it travels. A person 10 feet from a bomb blast will experience nine times the overpressure of a person 20 feet away. But it gets messy and unpredictable. A person who happens to be standing between the bomb and a strong wall is subjected to more blast effect because solid surfaces reflect the blast wave. You, as you read this, are subjected to...

Some grandmother somewhere in America works in a factory soldering wires to a harness that will connect to a little square box containing a little projection camera for an F-16 Heads Up Display. A young man or woman a year removed from high school pulled pins from 500lb bombs on a hot desert tarmac. Another kid in America works in a foundry pouring hot aluminum alloys which will eventually find its way to the compressor stage of the F-100 engine that will power an F-16 from a runway. Someone in America sang in a church choir on Sunday, and on...

<p>It is getting somewhat strange around these parts when not only the President, but yesterday the First Lady was personally attacked by someone claiming to be a ‘Conservative’. Can there be any doubt that there are forces among us looking to drive a wedge between us?</p>

Yeah, I am back with another completely unsubstantiated Washington rumor, just deal with it. What is NOT rumor, is that Rove's people and others have COMPLETELY DENIED what is proving to be the biggest unreported story in Washington right now, and Chris Matthews is going to be in a really bad mood tonight. I was just having a conversation with one of my Pentagon buddies about Rove (who is right now LIVE on CSPAN, if you haven’t been watching,) and the subject of all the stories of Rove’s Indictment came up. My friend laughed and said that there is a...

The telecom's former CEO has finally been indicted -- for fraud and insider trading. Getting a conviction will be no slam dunk He was the last major CEO connected with the telecom bust still under investigation. On Dec. 20, the feds came down on Joseph P. Nacchio. The 56-year-old former CEO of Qwest Communications (Q) was charged with 42 counts of securities fraud and insider trading. According to the eight-page indictment filed in federal court in Denver, Nacchio knew by August, 2000, that Qwest's publicly stated financial targets were extremely aggressive and meeting them would be a "huge stretch."

Everyone knows that I love South Park. On tonight's episode, South Park allowed the desecration of the American Flag and Jesus with fecal matter, but would not allow an image of Mohammad. It was done to make a point about how weak and gay the networks are in bowing to terrorism. I think the episode was to send a message to all of us that will will not accept the media bowing to terrorism, but allowing anything that might offend Americans. If they can show Catholics, Scientologists, and most any thing else guaranteed to be controversial to some, but not...
