About Petraeus. Well, probably not all. But a good start. Eisenhower was too conservative. Not in his politics. He’s too left-wing for the Democratic party, and he’s practically a socialist to the GOP. But in his assessment of the MI complex.
Armistice Day, 2012
I ran over a frog last night on the way home. Hopped right underneath the tire. Sorry Mr. Frog. I hope you were a MYLF.
The bunnies were particularly suicidal this morning. Four ran out in front of me in the dark. Missed them all, but after three I started to wonder if they were in league with the squirrels.
I just noticed that the red-light camera downtown is gone, and the LAT confirms it. Mostly I suspect because it wasn’t making the city money, but when things get better for any reason, it’s reason to be happy. Meantime, the USFS put in a Z-gate at the top of the access road on the way […]
Cordless impact wrench. How did I ever build anything without one of these? If you haven’t tried one recently, you’ve no idea how good these are. I drilled 200 7/16″ holes through 3/4″ marine grade plywood, and put in 600 wood screws with minimal effort. On one battery! That hasn’t lost its effectiveness sitting in […]

Pardon me if I’m skeptical.
“All this talk of war is bullshit. If they could do it, then they would have already done it long ago,” a senior European diplomat in Israel said.
So I don't have to search for this link again. Los Angeles doesn't care: Every mode of living is appropriate for L.A. You can do what you want. And I don’t just mean that Los Angeles is some friendly bastion of cultural diversity and so we should celebrate it on that level and be done […]
No one cares if you’re two years late and 2x overbudget if you succeed. Congratulations, Curiosity team. Science. It works, bitches! Two things: Someone was getting text messages during the whole descent, and it must have been someone high up because no one asked them to mute their phone. Bolden and Holdren had to piss […]
Ha ha!
Hoist by his own petard.
