Margaret Thatcher has died. She always hated seeing the Anglosphere in decline, so I would not be surprised if she was ready to go. She will be missed. She and Reagan may well be the last great world leaders from the Anglosphere.

So I was on a long conference call where I only had to apply about 1/4 of my brain so I ended up randomly reading through old posts on this blog. I managed to come across an old World of Warcraft post and ended up re-reading several old posts. I am a bit perplexed by [...]
So, last night the Cosmic Mother sent me an interesting email detailing the supposed genealogical history of her maternal grandfather. The story (which was written up in a local newspaper upon his passing, so its got some level of credibility) is that at the age of 19, in 1893, this guy pulled up stakes and [...]
I’m pretty sure my regular readers know my position on this. NEW YORK — Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa were denied entry to baseball’s Hall of Fame, with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades. Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote, Clemens [...]
So, Peter Parker gets murdered. In comic book publishing, the decision to kill off a long-running and beloved character may seem, at first glance, like a terribly unwise business move. But when Marvel Comics released its latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man—#700, which ends with Peter Parker, the webbed crusader’s alter ego, getting murdered—the issue began [...]
A long time ago I used to play the game “Magic:The Gathering”. I even played in a tournament once, and won a few games before being sent home by a guy with a deck full of moxes and lotuses (lotii?) If you don’t know what moxes and lotii are, consider yourself lucky. Because the game [...]
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died Saturday, weeks after heart surgery and days after his 82nd birthday. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, and he radioed back to Earth the historic news of "one giant leap for mankind." He spent nearly three hours [...]
Well, not quite yet. But, I am dropping my model 41p Remington Targetmaster rifle off at a gunsmith today to tap the barrel for bolt holes to allow me to attach a scope. I took it out shooting a couple of times and at 40 yards using the iron sights my old eyes just can’t [...]
The “Roll Your Own” (RYO) cigarette industry is no more. A tiny amendment buried in the federal transportation bill to be signed today by President Barack Obama will put operators of roll-your-own cigarette operations in Las Vegas and nationwide out of business at midnight. Robert Weissen, with his brothers and other partners, own nine Sin [...]
Sad day. I will have more thoughts tonight. UPDATE: OK, so I didn’t get this done last night. So sue me… Many conservatives are leading their Andy Griffith comments by bemoaning Andy’s 2010 televised Obamacare appeal. I think that’s a shame both because Andy Griffith has every right to hold and express opinions on politics, [...]
