11 Most Expensive Sh*t you'll never need

The perils of taking the nuclear option off the table.
 Here's a really lethal combination. Telling the enemy that you are going after him with inadequate forces and then specifying in advance what the limits of your rules of engagement are.

7 Deadly sins of children's entertainment. I've never quantified these things but Parental Radar is very very sharp and it picks up on these things very quickly. Everything my kids watch is pre-screened by me or The Wife. The number of things that are cast out by this list is alarmingly high.

Is Al Qaeda ramping up operations in the US? Could be. Those on the Right will call for immediate deployment of anti-Terror squads to every corner of the nation. The Left will plug their ears and sing "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Over and over again.

Highlights from the GOP debates. Read on if that is your wont. I'm not buying. Too friggin' early.

Anyone who says Al Qaeda is not one of the primary problems in Iraq is simply ignorant of the facts.

Only by driving can you reduce your carbon footprint.

Oh, that funding of Al-Qaeda

For Gerard

 Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them.  I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up.    Gerard of American Digest was one such writer.  His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable.  I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link.  I literally had zero readers.  Just like now.  But that was the measure of the man.  He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link.   The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person.  Morgan and Gerard were friends.  They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works.   I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man.  He's dying now.  If

He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know?
