I'm not talking about home-improvement -- despite the fact that ever since the new owners of the condo above mine took ownership, their bathroom has been leaking into mine.

It is a chilly Monday in […]
A good friend of mine who is an Air Force F-16 pilot stationed in Korea sent me this, and it's a good set of talking points on so much of the anti-American blather that you hear from some of the less-enlightened people on the left. The following is reportedly (I couldn't verify it online, but […]
