Chaplain Checks

Filed under Terrorism
Comments Off

It’s all well and good that the Pentagon will review it’s chaplain policy, but I want to know how Capt. Yee, who was trained in Syria got his security clearance. Last time I checked, Syria was still considered a terrorist state. Sounds like a warning sign to me.
“Pentagon Says It Will Review Chaplain Policy” [via […]

Webloggers Out of Commission

Comments Off

With Kate out with illness and Stephen out because he was dreaming about weblogging, remember you can still cuddle up with TAM for your fix. I may be on vacation from my bill-paying job, but there is no let up planned for TAM.

Architectural Comments

First, here are my thoughts on Chicago’s new Soldier Field that I posted at SportsBlog:
I haven’t seen the new Soldier Field in person. I can only rely on pictures. But from what I’ve seen, at most, I can only give it a C grade. The interior is spectacular. It has great sight lines, and the […]

Compromised Agent

Filed under War
Comments Off

Putting the Africa uranium claim into the State of the Union speech may have been a mistake (the 16 words have never been shown to be inaccurate), but if White House officials broke laws and compromised an intelligence agent they must be fired and prosecuted. This could be serious scandal if the President doesn’t act […]

A SportsBlog Testimonial

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

In my fantasy football league I have Buffalo’s Travis Henry. Last week he injured his ribs. All this week I didn’t know if he would start. Thanks to the post by Kevin Pritchard I have enough information to bench him.
Thank you SportsBlog.
Football is in full swing, baseball playoffs will soon begin, and hockey and basketball […]

Stuff for Going to BloggerCon

Filed under Miscellaneous
Comments Off

I realized that if the mail gods like me and my notebook computer arrives in time next week I’ll be dragging that with me to Boston. Since I’m bringing a computer, I can bring my digital camera and not worry about using up all the space on the smart media card. I’ll also be bringing […]

The Clark Economic Plan

Filed under Economics

Steve Verdon on Weasley Clark’s economic plan:
Lets also be clear here. What Clark is talking about is deficit spending. Sure, he can talk about repealing Bush’s tax cuts, but there will still be a deficit and he wants to increase spending. So if the deficit is say $400 billion, and half of it is due […]

Luther: A Review

Filed under Culture
Comments Off

Joseph Fiennes pulls off an Oscar-calibre performance as Martin Luther. His portrail of the conflict within was outstanding. We see the tortured soul dealing with salvation, damnation, and temptation. His thrashing and yelling at the devil reminds me of Smegal in the second Lord of the Rings movie. Peter Ustinov played Luther’s benefactor, Prince Fredrick. […]

Evening Plans

After catching some dinner and seeing Luther, I must clear out the dated links in my “possible links” folder in my browser. There’s stuff that’s been sitting there for months waiting for pithy commentary. Unfortunately most of it is going to be deleted.

Plimpton Dead at 76

Filed under Books
Comments Off

George Plimpton had that blue-blood, East Coast accent (almost like Bill Buckley’s) yet I remember him most for his talk on something that connects with the American everyman: sports. I never read any of his books, but I listened to him being interviewed about Muhammad Ali and baseball. He added poetic touch to a sweaty […]

California Issue Quiz

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

If I were a California voter (poor me), a nifty new KQED website would be helpful. Their Vote By Issue Quiz forces you to pick an issue position without knowing which candidate it’s from. I’m most closely aligned with Tom McClintock. If California McClintock supporters take this quiz will it just harden their support for […]

Weasley Used to Like GOP

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

Drudge reports that Weasley Clark used to be pretty good at praising Republicans, especially President Bush. Does that drive die-hard Dems towards the Duck because they seek party purity?
