Adaptable War Plans

Filed under War

USA Today reports on when the Republican Guard will be attacked by U.S. forces. In the story, Dave Moniz and John Diamond ask the question that’s been on many armchair generals’ minds:
By the time American ground forces engage the Republican Guard, the 3rd Infantry Division will have been sitting in place nearly two weeks, […]

Packers Fans Don’t Donate

Filed under Sports

Wisconsin taxpayers aren’t donating their refunds to the Green Bay Packers. A local accountant told S.I. his clients haven’t even mentioned it. It must be because few people know they can do it. Packers fans are rather weird. A few years ago a whole bunch of them bought shares of the […]

I know she won’t read this but I want to wish my sister a happy belated birthday. It was yesterday, and no, I wasn’t some rude dude who forgot about it. I gave her her gift yesterday (a book and a Casablanca DVD), and this evening the family will be going out to […]

Darn Pool

I’m 0-4 in picking this year’s Final Four. Oh, well, Marquette made it and Michigan State could make the games in New Orleans really interesting if it can knock off top-seeded Texas.

Adam Osborne and His 25-Pound Computer

Filed under Tech

Adam Osborne died last week, but he won’t be forgotten by me. In 1981, he invented a 22-pound portable computer. Since I was 7 when the Osborne-1 came out, what does that have to do with me? Well, that computer, along with an Epson dot-matrix printer, let me finish many research papers […]

Marquette in the Final Four

Filed under Sports

YES! YES! YES! “Holy Mackerel!” to use the late Al McGuire’s words. Marquette beat Kentucky in Minneapolis and are going to New Orleans with a shot at winning a national title. Early on, the Warriors (TAM refuses to call them by the politically correct “Golden Eagles”) had problems stopping the Wildcats […]

Someone hire Fredrik Norman so he can come to the U.S., soak up plenty of American culture, and go back home with lots of pro-America ammunition to use.

Heartbreak and Compassion

Filed under War

Two stories show the heartbreak of war, but they also show human compassion.
First, there is the story behind the now-famous picture of a soldier carrying an Iraqi child to safety. An Iraqi family was caught in the crossfire of an ambush on elements of the 7th Cavalry. After the fighting stopped, the Iraqi […]

Lots of Troop Love in Wisconsin

Comments Off

Southeastern Wisconsin residents swamped local Red Cross offices with care packages. The Milwaukee office had so much traffic there was no room in the parking lot. Millie Tischendorf said it best, “This is the only way I can help. What else can I do?” Even the local Hmong community donated. […]

Like the new digs? Thank Joni, she’s the design whiz behind this. If you’ve been a frequent reader to TAM over the past few months, you know about my battle with MT. I’ve managed to get all my Blogger posts into MT so that’s a good sign. Since I’ve been having […]

Senator Daniel Patrick Moynahan passed away. Although a long time Senator from New York, he struck me as one of the truly intellectual giants in Washington. He’s the man who coined the phrase “defining deviance down,” and was a serious Democrat who knew Social Security needed to be completely rehauled. He was […]

Because of the relatively high birth rates of French Muslims, Ben Shapiro calls for the nuclear disarming of France. He sounds serious, but we have a little time before an armored division has to come down upon Paris.
