This is a house where magic happens. Like the clown car at the circus, more people seem to be in it than could possibly fit, and dollars that come into the house must all be fed through one of those magic bill changing machines where a dollar is fed in and a C note emerges. […]

9 guns for every 10 Americans - some of you folks are just not holding up your end! Heck if there are only nine among me and the 9 people nearest me, then only three for the people in the houses full of Marines next door and across the street seems a little pathetic!

Way back in May, one of my first blogs, was a satire about a city named Boulder banning cremation based on the release of CO2.
Well, like most good jokes it must have had a bit of truth - today there is a news piece about a new company offering an “eco-friendly” alternative to cremation. they […]

On some military air bases, the Air Force is located on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.
One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, “What time is it?”
