This weekend, I’ve got my hands full, readers, as I am alone in the house with three dogs:
My old friend Okapi is home from Cleveland. He’s kind of taking it easy, catching up on some sleep.
Mystery is enjoying life, as always.
And Arthur the beagle is staying with me while his family (the neighbors) are [...]
LOL, readers:
While probing the murder of car salesman Collin Thomas outside the showroom of Universal Auto World in Lawrence, L.I., in January, cops unraveled what they said was a massive scam at the dealership.
Employees at Universal allegedly stole and bought identities, then used the IDs to obtain at least $1.3 million in financing for [...]
Do you remember Jerome “Eagle-Eyes” Corsi, readers? I wrote about him way back in January of 2005 — 2005/01/25 and 2005/01/28, to be exact. He’s the freak-a-zoid who co-authored the execrable Swift-Boat Vets book Unfit for Command (a book which was instrumental in helping secure a second term in office for Bush/Cheney, you [...]
Debbie Schlussel, the Costco Coulter, claims to “speak” four languages, including Arabic. She has unwittingly revealed that to be a lie, unfortunately for her, with a grotesque linguistic blunder that any Arabic 101 student would know better than to make. Look at this:
Of course, even that was a sanitized version of what happens [...]
Here’s a blast from the past, readers: in July of 2005, I made fun of an eructation from David’s Glug (at FrontPage Magazine) in which an incandescently angry David Horowitz made the assertion that Valerie Plame was a “rogue CIA employee” who was bent on destroying the Bush presidency and ensuring America’s swift defeat [...]
At Forward Operating Base Warhorse, near Ba’quba, Iraq, Iraqi translators and other workers are forbidden from using the same bathrooms as their American masters… er, sorry, I mean bosses. It’s because those Arabs are, you know, completely untrustworthy. Or is it because they’re, you know, dirty and icky?
Marquez cited security. “We are at [...]
An interview with Don DeLillo at Guernica magazine.
Don DeLillo: Absolutely. I was thinking about the impact of history on the smallest details of ordinary life, and I wanted to see if I could trace an individual’s interior life, day-by-day and thought-by-thought. It occurs to me that this could be the novelist’s initiative, even more [...]
Kanye West’s “The College Dropout” was overpraised and overrated. Let’s face it, readers — it just isn’t that good of an album. It’s got enough self-indulgence to make a typical Led Zeppelin album seem like a model of restraint and minimalism. Even by rap album standards, it’s got a hell of a [...]
Friday Dog Blogging comes two days early this week, readers.
Here is Mystery the border collie, keeping an eye on things from her vantage point on the landing.
Perhaps the ultimate case of road rage:
Stankovitch attempted to pass Goza and cut him off just south of Sunset Avenue, said Gurnee police officer David Ronzani. Only he wasn’t too successful.
Stankovitch lost control of his Volvo and jumped the curb, before flipping his car at least four times, taking out a power line and ending [...]
