I like Michael DelGiorno’s radio show. I listen regularly and call in occasionally. I’ve appreciated him opening his mic and phone lines to Nashvillians to explore the issues and get to know the candidates in Nashville’s mayoral election. I’ve found him to be forthright and evenhanded while maintaining his personal values and […]

For those of you raising eyebrows at the title of the post, rest assured that I’ve not started selling Kirbys on my blog nor have I switched to a more ‘adult’ format.
The post’s title comes from advice given to my son by a military friend upon learning my son had enlisted. His advice was […]

While I’m a huge fan of the upcoming, annual Talk Like a Pirate Day this September 19th, this post has nothing to do with that venerable day.
Instead, it concerns a story which is prima facie evidence that nothing good comes from letting women out of the kitchen - or in this case, the galley. […]

From Instapundit we get a quick link to a Jules Crittenden post about a Michael Totten post.
Once again, we find that the word on the street is that real, measurable progress is being made in Iraq. What is remarkable about Totten’s post is that he freely admits that it was not always so.

The house is very dark and very quiet all around me. It is also missing something that has been here for the last 19 years, my oldest son.
Last night, The Much Younger Trophy Wife and I, my in-laws and a gaggle of family and friends gathered together in a private area of a local […]

Last week was incredibly busy with work and other details and challenges in Real Life. It hit me the middle of the week that I didn’t get a ‘Caption It’ contest posted last Saturday. Mea culpa, perdona me!
I’ll set this week right, however, by offering up this one. A friend emailed me […]

One recent commenter here at BCM has advanced the argument that the notion of America as a Christian nation or a nation with a Christian heritage is both false and offensive. He has stated that some of my opinions are invalid, not because they are incorrect but because they are a product of my […]

I got the following email the other day. It’s puffing a new site, WonkoSphere, that keeps track of all the buzz for each of the 2008 Presidential Candidates (and Fred Thompson). I clicked through and REALLY enjoyed what I found. This looks to be a great tool to combine information and writing […]

Given the debate that has taken place here in the last couple of weeks on the topic of abortion and how it is impacted by the rights granted by our Constitution, I thought it appropriate to post up links to two stories that are related to the issue of abortion and civil rights.
The first is […]

Hyperbole? Perhaps …
But how else to describe a material that was created by a US chemist in 1931 on a bet; has the lowest density of any material known to man; has the totally cool nickname ‘Frozen Smoke’; was shelved as impractical for almost 70 years as it was TOO brittle and costly; was picked […]
